Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy stored in a body by virtue of its location. Mathematically, potential energy is expressed as:

Potential energy (P.E) = Mass(m) x Acceleration due to gravity (g) x Height (h)

P.E = mgh

Since the mass of the object is always constant and the acceleration due to gravity is also constant, it therefore means that the potential energy of an object is directly proportional to the height where the object is located.

This implies that as the height to which the object is located increases, the potential energy of the object also increases and as the height to which the object is located decreases, the potential energy of the object will also decrease.

In the diagram given above, point 1 is higher than point 4. This will cause the potential energy of the roller to be higher at point 1 than at point 4.

Water is a polar molecule, meaning the electrons that are shared between the atoms aren't shared equally so oxygen attracts more
amm1812

Answer:

Magnet with a positive and a negative pole

Explanation:

A great analogy to demonstrate what a polar molecule looks like is to imagine a magnet. A magnet has one positively charged end and one negatively charged end, two poles, that is.

Imagine that we have a magnet of a shape of a prism (water molecule has a bent shape). The two base vertices of the face of the triangle are positively charged, that's because hydrogen is less electronegative than oxygen and, hence, the two hydrogen atoms are partially positively charged in a water molecule.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen meaning it has a greater electron-withdrawing force, so electrons are closer to oxygen within the O-H bonds. Oxygen, as a result, becomes partially negatively charged, so it's our negative pole of the magnet.

The time necessary for the decay of one- half sample of a radioactive substance is a _____. mass defect daughter half life nucli
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: half life

Explanation: Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics and the time required for the decay of a radioactive material is calculated as follows:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{x}{a}

t= time required

k= disintegration constant

x= amount of substance left after time t

a= initial amount of substance

when one half of the sample is decayed, one half of the sample remains and t can be represented as t_{1/2}

at t= t_{1/2}, x=\frac{a}{2}

t_{1/2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{a/2}{a}

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

The chemical equation is unbalanced and synthesized.

<h3></h3><h3>What is a chemical equation?</h3>

A chemical equation is described as the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.

In a chemical equation, the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities is shown on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that indicates towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

We can conclude that in the chemical equation shown is unbalanced because both amounts of the individual elements and compounds do not reflect on the reactant and product side.

#SPJ1

The complete question is below:

After learning about the law of conservation of mass, Sammy became interested in balancing equations. He knew that the symbol for aluminum was Al and silver tarnish was Ag2S. He also knew that mixing the two chemicals yielded pure silver, or Ag, in an aluminum sulfide solution. Here is the equation showing this reaction:

3 Ag2S + 2 Al → 6 Ag + Al2S3

This equation is (synthesis / unbalanced / replacement / balanced), and it represents a(n) (unbalanced / balanced / synthesized / replaced) chemical reaction.

answer choices:

  • synthesis; balanced

  • balanced; replacement

  • unbalanced; synthesized

  • balanced; balanced
