A book weighs 0.5 kilograms on a book shelf that is 2 meters above the ground. What is the potential energy of the book relative

to the ground? (HINT: you may use 10 N/kg as the value for gravity)

Using the GPE=MGH, M=0.5 kg, G=9.8m/s H= 2 m multiply those all together and we will have 9.8 J (joules)

An object is at rest in front of a compressed spring. It travels over a surface that exerts a kinetic frictional force on it and

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

the object will travel 0.66 meters before to stop.

Explanation:

Using the energy conservation theorem:

$E_i+K_i+W_f=K_f+U_f$

The work done by the friction force is given by:

$W_f=F_f*d\\W_f=\µ*m*g*d\\W_f=0.35*4*9.81*d\\W_f=13.7d[J]$

so:

$\frac{1}{2}1800*(10*10^{-2})+0-13.7d=0+0\\d=0.66m$

Why would an object float in water, but sink in rubbing alcohol?

Romashka [77]

Because water is more dense than the object but rubbing alcohol is less dense than the object

Describe one new piece of information that you learned about one of the featured scientist

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

<u>Development in science:</u>

There a number of individuals in the world around us who has improved the field of science and made it easy for us to know this universe more easily then ever. This universe is still unexplored and there are going to be more then billions of stars which are still not studied and has an immense amount of information regarding the universe.

<u>Stephen Hawking:</u> The scientist who made it easy for each of us to know the universe and more over the cosmos in a more detailed form, as before this no one knew about the different patterns of entities and there properties.

<u>A genius who was handicapped:</u>

He was a genius in cosmology, mathematics, and other subjects of science as he was diagnosed by the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS), which made it unable for him to live a normal life.But, he communicated through a computer which detected his nerve signals and shared his thoughts about any thing or subject.

<u>Why him?</u>

Stephen hawking was just tremendous in making it more understandable about the black holes, time worms, and space etc.As it was known to very small number of people before he took the stage.

Which of these ionic compounds have polyatomic ions? Check all that apply.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

CaCO₃ and
NaOH.

Explanation:

Polyatomic ions are ions that contain more than one atom in each one of the ions.

Ionic compounds are made of cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ion). By convention, the cation is written before the anion.

List the ions in each compound:

<h3>CaCO₃</h3>

Cation: $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {CO_3}^{2-}$ .

$\rm Ca^{2+}$ is a monatomic ion for it contains only one atom in each ion.

$\rm {CO_3}^{2-}$ is a polyatomic ion for it contains four atoms (one C atom and three O atoms) in each ion.

<h3>NaF</h3>

Cation: $\rm Na^{+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm F^{-}$ .

Both $\rm Na^{+}$ and $\rm F^{-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>FeO</h3>

Cation: $\rm Fe^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {O}^{2-}$ .

Both $\rm Fe^{2+}$ and $\rm O^{2-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>CaCl₂</h3>

Cation: $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {Cl}^{-}$ .

Both $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and $\rm Cl^{-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>NaOH</h3>

Cation: $\rm Na^{+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {OH}^{-}$ .

$\rm Na^{+}$ is a monatomic ion for it contains only one atom in each ion.

$\rm {OH}^{-}$ is a polyatomic ion for it contains two atoms (one O atom and one H atom) in each ion.

What is the wavelength of a wave traveling at 300 m/s if the frequency is 10 Hz?

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

30 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is found by the velocity divided by the frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is (300 m/s)/(10 Hz) = 30 m

I hope this helps! :)
