GPE = mgh

Where GPE is gravitational potential energy (J), m is the mass ob the object (kg), g is acceleration due to gravity (m/s²) and h is the height (m)

m = 4 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = 3 m

By substitution,
GPE =  4 kg x 9.8 m/s² x 3 m
        = 117.6 J
        ≈ 118 J

Hence, the answer is D

A 2.50 g sample of zinc is heated, then placed in a calorimeter containing 65.0 g of water. Temperature of water increases from
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

719.83°C

Explanation:

The heat that the sample of Zinc gives is equal to the heat that water is absorbing. That is:

C(Zn) * m(Zn) * ΔT(Zn) = C(H2O) * m(H2O) * ΔT(H2O)

<em>Where:</em>

<em>C is specific heat (Zn: 0.390J/g°C; H2O: 4.184J/g°C)</em>

<em>m is mass (Zn: 2.50g; H2O: 65.0g)</em>

<em>ΔT (Zn: ?; H2O: (22.5°C - 20.0°C = 2.50°C)</em>

<em />

Replacing:

0.390J/g°C * 2.50g * ΔT(Zn) = 4.184J/g°C * 65.0g * 2.50

ΔT(Zn) = 697.33°C

As final temperature of Zn is 22.50°C, initial temperature is:

Initial temperature: 697.33°C + 22.50°C

719.83°C

An atom of which element has the greatest attraction for electrons in a chemical bond?
Katyanochek1 [597]
Answer is (4) - Se.

Among the given choices Se has the highest electronegativity value as 2.4 compared to others. Hence, Se shows <span>greatest attraction for electrons in a chemical bond.

</span>Electronegativity is a value that tells us how an atom can attract electrons towards itself. <span>If the electronegativity is high, then the attraction to the electrons is also high.
