The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.

The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.

$GPE = mgh$

The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.

$GPE =(mg)*h = (20 N)*(5m)=100 J$

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Work done by the machine (W) = 500 × 1.5 = 750 J

Work supplied to the machine (W) = 100 × 10 = 1000 J

Here, work supplied to the machine is input work = 1000 J

I know the enthalpy of a reaction is 23kj/mol. Initially the reaction is taking place at 273 k. To what temperature do i need to

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

293k

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the temperature to which the reaction must be heated to double the equilibrium constant.

To find this value, we will need to use the Van’t Hoff equation.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Change/ Potential

Explanation:

Work is the amount of energy required to perform an action that is for a force to cause a displacement.

From work-energy theorem, work done by body is equal to change in its kinetic energy.

Work of gravity is basically the potential energy stored in the body due to gravity. From the law of conservation of mechanical energy, increased kinetic energy comes from the change of the potential energy of the stone.
