Chemistry

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.

2Ag + H2S ? Ag2S + H2 Which statement is true about this chemical equation? A) Ag (silver) is oxidized and H (hydrogen) is reduc
nadezda [96]

Answer:

It is A).

Explanation:

Silver (Ag) goes from the  pure metal to Ag+ losing 1 electron so it is oxidised.

The hydrogen ion  gains electrons and is reduced.

Iodine 131, cesium 137, and strontium 90 are all considered isotopes. What are isotopes?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Isotopes are variants of an element, where the number of neutrons is different but its number of protons stay the same.

Explanation:

If the number of protons had changed then it would just be a different element.

Electron number changing simply adds charge to the atom, and doesn't change it or anything.
