Does potential energy increase with temperature?

-- The potential energy of a 12-lb bowling ball up on the shelf
doesn't have anything to do with the temperature of the ball or
the shelf.

-- The potential energy of a jar full of gas does depend on the
temperature of the gas.  The warmer it is, the greater its pressure
is, and the more work it can do if you let it out through a little hole
in the jar.  If it gets hot enough, it'll have enough potential energy
to blow the jar to smithereens.

<span>When a solid melts and becomes a liquid, we say it changes phase from a solid to a liquid. In this change, the bonding between the atoms or molecules changes. You have to "break" some bonds to go from a solid to a liquid. This requires energy. The liquid is a "higher" potential energy state than the solid, even at the same temperature. (It is slightly more complicated than this, but this is good enough for this class.) To convert 1kg of solid water at 0oC (273K) to liquid water at 0oC (273K) requires about 330,000J of energy. Note that the temperature of the liquid is the same as the solid’s, i.e. you added heat without changing the temperature, instead the phase changed. The heat added went into "breaking" bonds and increasing its potential energy, not into increasing the average translational KE of the molecules. (It is slightly more complicated than this, but this explanation is good enough for this class.) If you go the other way, and convert 1kg of liquid water at 0oC (273K) to ice at 0oC (273K) releases 330,000J of heat. This heat comes from the energy given off when bonds form, i.e. it goes to a state of lower potential energy. The same type of thing occurs when a liquid changes to a gas. Then more bonds are broken as the molecules move apart, and it requires energy to break the bonds and move to a higher potential energy. To convert 1kg of liquid water at 100oC (373K) to 1kg of water vapor at 100oC (373K) requires 2,260,000J (almost 2.3 million Joules) of energy. That is, the water absorbs energy to change from a liquid to a gas.. If 1kg of water vapor conde</span>

What upward gravitational force does a 5600kg elephant exert on the earth?
Anastaziya [24]
Force is determined by multiplying mass and gravity (F= mg). To determine the answer, the mass of the elephant (5600 kg) is multiplied with the gravity (9.8 m/s²). The answer is 5800 N. This is the upward gravitational force that the elephant exerts on the earth.

Where is the magnetic south pole compared to the geographical north pole?
Alex777 [14]

Currently, the magnetic south pole lies about ten degrees distant from the geographic north pole, and sits in the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska. The north end on a compass therefore currently points roughly towards Alaska and not exactly towards geographic north.

Which person will most likely hear the loudest sound?
Nataliya [291]

Person standing on A will hear the loudest sound

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave (which is proportional to the loudness of the sound) follows an inverse square law, which is:

I\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

where

I is the intensity of the wave

r is the distance from the source of the sound

This equation means that the intensity of the sound wave (and therefore, its loudness) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance  from the source: therefore,

  • As we get closer to the source of sound, the loudness increases
  • As we move away from the source of sound, the loudness decreases

Therefore, the person that will hear the loudest sound is the one standing closer to the source, and therefore person A.

Acceleration toward the center of a curved path is called
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is a property of a body moving in a uniform circular path and it is directed radially towards the center of the circle in which body is rotating.

The force which causes this acceleration is centripetal force which is also directed towards the center of the circle and pulls the body towards its center.

It is calculated through following formula

a=v^2/r

where v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.
