Answer:

Therefore the loss (transfer) of this potential energy is equal to the increase in kinetic energy

Explanation:

First remember that energy is not destroyed, it only transpires

There are different types of energy, an example of different types of energy is the heat energy (the one that is transferred from an object that is hotter to another, or also by friction), the gravitational potential energy (increases when the height of an object increases with respect to the zero point) another example would be the kinetic energy (increases with increasing the speed of an object)

When object "loses" energy is really transforming into another type of energy

While an object falls and loses its potential energy (it loses height) it increases its speed (it falls faster and faster), as its speed increases the kinetic energy increases

Therefore the loss (transfer) of this potential energy is equal to the increase in kinetic energy

nalin [4]

Answer:

Verdadero (True).

Explanation:

Después de la desintegración del citado virreinato, los nuevos Estados intentaron establecer sus fronteras, a menudo a través de guerras e invasiones. Cabe destacar la invasión brasileña de Uruguay o la Guerra de la Triple Alianza. En menor medida, lo hicieron a través de tratados internacionales. (After the disolution of the viceroyalship described above, the new States attempted to establish their frontier usually by wars and invasions. It is to highlight the Brazilian invasion of Uruguay or the Triple Alliance' War. In a lesser extent, they made it through international treaties.)

What type of reaction occurs without the addition of heat?
maria [59]

The type of reaction that occurs without the addition of heat is called spontaneous reaction. That is option D.

<h3>What is spontaneous reaction?</h3>

Spontaneous reaction is defined as the reaction where by new substances are formed naturally without the addition of extra energy in the form of heat.

Therefore, the type of reaction that occurs without the addition of heat is called spontaneous reaction

How does the electron-cloud model describe electrons?
Sav [38]

Answer:

C. An electron has a high probability of being in certain regions.

Explanation:

In the electron cloud model, there are no electron-orbits around the nucleus but a cloud. This cloud has various densities with respect to distance from the nucleus. The most dense region of the cloud (which is the region close to the nucleus) is where electrons has the highest probability of existence.

The model explains that an electron a greater chance of being in the region closer to the nucleus. Thus, an electron has a high probability of being in certain region of the cloud about the central nucleus. And an electrostatic force exists between the nucleus and the electrons.
