The formula for finding potential energy is: f= m*g*h. where "m" is mass of the object in question. "g" is the gravitational acceleration."h" is height above the ground. So, if we put in the values:
20*10*8
1600 joules

Explain different types of thermometer and their thermometry substance​
Rudiy27

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

1) Liquid in glass thermometer: This type of thermometer is used primarily to measure the temperatures from inspection of changes in volume of liquid.

Thermometry substance is mercury or alcohol

2) Gas thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature as a result of changes in gas pressure or volume.

Thermometry substance is Gas.

3) Resistance thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature due to changes in electric resistance.

Thermometry substance is Resistance wire.

4) Thermocouple thermometer: This type is used to measure the temperature due to changes in electrical potential difference occurring between two metal junctions.

Thermometry substance is two wires that are dissimilar.

5) Bimetallic thermometer: This is a type of thermometer that measures temperature by converting temperature into mechanical displacement by making use of Bimetallic strip.

Thermometry substance is two metals that are dissimilar.

You place a light bulb 8 cm in front of a concave mirror. You then move a sheet of paper back and forth in front of the mirror.
Alika [10]

sorry - late reply...just stumbled across tis...hope u can still use it :)


By the mirror equation: 1/di + 1/do = 1/f

<span>
</span>

<span>where di = distance to image = +12cm (+ for real image)</span>


and do = distance to object = +8cm


Substitute and solve for f, the focal length

<span><span>
1/12 + 1/8 = 1/f
</span><span>
1/f = (8 + 12) / 12 * 8 = 20/96
</span><span>
so f = 96/20 = 4.8 cm</span>

What is the velocity of the object?
dmitriy555 [2]
<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2 /><h2>\huge\boxed{\text{V = 9.5 m/s}}</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2>

<h2>DATA:</h2>

mass = m = 2kg

Distance = x = 6m

Force = 30N

TO FIND:

Work = W = ?

Velocity = V = ?

<h2>SOLUTION:</h2>

According to the object of mass 2 kg travels a distance when the force was exerted on it. The graph between the Force and position was plotted which shows that 30 N of force was used to push the object till the distance of 6.0m.

To find the work, I will use the method of determining the area of the plotted graph. As the graph is plotted in the straight line between the Force and work, THE PICTURE ATTCHED SHOWS THE AREA COVERED IN BLUE AS WORK DONE AND HEIGHT AS 30m AND DISTANCE COVERED AS 6m To solve for the area(work) of triangle is given as,

{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\;(Base)\:(Height)

Base is the x-axis of the graph which is Position i.e. 6m

Height is the y-axis of the graph which is Force i.e. 30N

So,

                           W\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\:6\:x\:30

                           W   =  90 J

The work done is 90 J.

According to the principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem) states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.

{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad K.E\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad \frac{1}{2}\ m\ V^2 \\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad \frac{1}{2}\ 2\ (V_f-V_i)^2\\\\{V_i\ is\ 0\ because\ the\ object\ was\ initially\ at\ rest}\\\\ {\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\ x\ 2\ (V_f-0)^2 \\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad 90\quad = \frac{1}{2}\ x\ 2\ (V_f)^2

\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad V_f\quad =\ \sqrt{\frac{2\ (90)\ }{2}}\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad \boxed {V_f\quad =\ 9.48\ m/s}

\boxed{The\ Velocity\ of\ the\ Object\ of\ mass\ 2kg\ at\ 6\ meters\ of\ distance\ was\ 9.48\ m/s}

Why does the sound of a person’s voice sound different underwater than when they are speaking in air?
Tems11 [23]
Sound waves actually travel much faster in water than air, but words and the direction of the noise are distorted.

Using a complete sentence state what would most likely happen to the production of oxygen by duckweed plans if the intensity and
jeka94

Answer:

This question will be answered based on general photosynthetic understanding. The answer is:

The production of oxygen would increase

Explanation:

The characteristics of most plant forms is their ability to photosynthesize i.e. use solar energy (from sunlight) to make food (chemical energy). The product of this photosynthetic process is OXYGEN gas, which is released as a waste product via the stomata on their leaves. Note that, photosynthesis cannot occur without LIGHT as it provides the energy needed for the process.

Hence, in the duckweed plant like every other photosynthetic plant, the increase in the intensity and duration of exposure to light means the rate at which photosynthesis occurs will be increased. An increased photosynthetic rate means the synthesis of the products will also be increased i.e. glucose and OXYGEN.
