The change in potential energy of an object is given by
U=mg \Delta h
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration
\delta h is the increase in altitude of the object

In our problem, m=2.5 kg is the mass of the book, g=9.81 m/s^2 and 
\Delta h=2.6 m -1.2 m=1.4 m is the increase in altitude of the book, so its variation of potential energy is
U=mg\Delta h=(2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.4 m)=34.3 J

Suppose that we replace the aluminum with a mystery metal and repeat the experiment in the video. As in the video, the mass of t
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a) three times greater

Explanation:

Remember the heat capacity is the necessary heat to increase the temperature 1 ºC to an specific mass of the substance, in this case since the water and the metal have the same mass, is easier to compare just the neccesary heat.

Since water increases 20 ºC and the metal 60 ºC, it was neccesary 3 times of the quantity of heat to the same amount of mass of the two different susbtances.

Hope it was useful

What is an object's acceleration that takes 550.0 meters to go from 6.0 m/s to<br> 85.0 m/s?
Dvinal [7]

from,

v² = u² + 2as

where s = distance

a = (v² - u²) /2s

a = (85² - 6²) /2*550

a = 6.53m/s²
