A paint can being carried up a ladder experiences increase in potential energy.

Answer: D

Explanation

Potential energy, the energy exerted by the body when it is at rest with respect to the height of the object.

The object exhibiting acceleration due to gravity at a certain height will be exhibiting potential energy based on the mass and object height.

The potential energy of an object will be increasing if the mass of the object increases or if the height of the object placed increases or if both mass and position of the object increases.

The potential energy is directly proportional to the object's mass and height from the ground.

So in this case, the options (a), (b) and (c) state the object moving downward direction, so the distance between the object position and ground (h) is decreasing.

But in the option (d), the paint can is carried upward so the distance between the paint can position and the ground will be increased as the paint can is moved up in a ladder.

So the option (d), a paint can being carried up a ladder is the best example for describing increase in the potential energy.

White raven [17]

Answer:

<h2> a. 23.6</h2>

Explanation:

P_1=0.492\:atm\\V_1 = 45.8\:ml\\V_2 = ?\\P_1 = 0.954\:atm\\\\Boyle's Law = P_1V_1 = P_2V_2\\\\Lets \:make\: V \:subject\:of\:the\:formula\\\\\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} = \frac{P_2V_2}{P_2} \\ \\V_2 =\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\V_2 = \frac{0.492\times45.8}{0.954}\\ \\V_2 = \frac{22.5336}{0.954} \\\\V_2  = 23.620\\\\V_2 = 23.6

The indicator methyl red has different molecular structures at high and low pH.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Methyl red is an indicator widely used in quality control of oxides as Zinc oxide in the titration with sulfuric acid.

As is used in titrations of acid-base reactions the indicator change in colour. Is red when the pH < 4.4 (Acidic Solutions) and is yellow when pH > 6.2 (Neutral-Basic solutions).

A change in colour means the structure of the indicator is changing with pH. Thus, the answer is:

Radio waves travel at the speed of light which is 3.00 x 10^8. How many minutes does it take for a radio message to reach saturn
ryzh [129]

Answer:

43.89 min

Explanation:

Given that:-

The speed of light = 3.00\times 10^8\ m/s

The distance = 7.9\times 10^8\ km

The conversion of distance in km to distance into m is shown below as:-

1 km = 1000 m

So,

Distance = 7.9\times 10^8\times 1000\ m=7.9\times 10^{11}\ m

The relation between speed distance and time is shown below as:-

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Thus,

3.00\times 10^8=\frac{7.9\times 10^{11}}{Time}

300000000\times time=10^{11}\times \:7.9\ s

Time = 2633.33 seconds

Also, 1 s = 1/60 min

So,

Time=\frac{2633.33}{60}\ min=43.89\ min
