<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>
Answer:
It takes 77 N
Explanation:
Using Newton's second law of motion, F=ma (Force equals mass times acceleration. Since the mass of the couch is 385 kg and the target acceleration is 0.2 m/s, you simply multiply mass times acceleration (ma) to get the total force, or 77 N.
Explanation:
For an experimental result to be considered acceptable, all relevant variables involved in the experiment must be taken into account, by isolating it, performing it under controlled conditions and modifying the conditions under which it takes place. This, with the objective of excluding alternative explanations in the analisis of the experimental data. Therefore, if these steps are followed appropriately, experimental data are trustworthy. The reliability of the experiment increases when it is replicated by other researchers and the same results are obtained.
Answer:
(a) and (b)
Explanation:
Energy is the capacity to do work, and exists in various forms. These forms can be converted one to another by the use of appropriate means. Some examples are sound, mechanical, solar, light, which causes the sensation of vision, etc. energy is measured in Joules (J).
The rate of transfer of energy is called power.
i.e Power = 
It is measured in Watts (W).
When a white light is disperses into its colors, gray and black are not part of the colors. And a black sometimes could be as a result of the absorption of all other colors of light.
Answer:
the mass of water is 0.3 Kg
Explanation:
since the container is well-insulated, the heat released by the copper is absorbed by the water , therefore:
Q water + Q copper = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)
Q water = - Q copper
since Q = m * c * ( T eq - Ti ) , where m = mass, c = specific heat, T eq = equilibrium temperature and Ti = initial temperature
and denoting w as water and co as copper :
m w * c w * (T eq - Tiw) = - m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq)
m w = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]
We take the specific heat of water as c= 1 cal/g °C = 4.186 J/g °C . Also the specific heat of copper can be found in tables → at 25°C c co = 0.385 J/g°C
if we assume that both specific heats do not change during the process (or the change is insignificant)
m w = m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]
m w= 1.80 kg * 0.385 J/g°C ( 150°C - 70°C) /( 4.186 J/g°C ( 70°C- 27°C))
m w= 0.3 kg
