Answer: the most potential energy == 5 kg book, 2 m from the ground= 98 Joules

Explanation:

potential energy = m g h

m = mass

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = distance above ground

1. Pe₁ = 1 kg x 2 m x g = 2 g

2. Pe₂ = 5 kg x 2 m x g = 10 g = 10 kg m x 9,8 m/s² = 98 Joules

3. Pe₃ = 1 kg x 0,5 m x g = 0,5 g

4. Pe₄ = 5 kg x 0.5 m x g = 2,5 g

10 > 2,5 > 2 >0,5

If 28.0 J of work is done by an external force to move a charge from a potential of 8.0 V 8.0 V to a potential of 4.0 V , 4.0 V,

jonny [76]

Answer:

Change in electric potential energy is -28.0 J

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is defined as the work is done to move a charge particle from one position to another in space in the presence of other charge particle or electric potential.

Electric potential energy is also equal to the change in the configuration of the charge particles.

Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = - Work Done

According to the problem, Work Done is equal to 28 J. Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = -28 J

If A = 5 and C = 13, what is sin x?

lisabon 2012 [21]

By pythagorean theorem then, the vertical side of the right triangle must be 12.
Then if x is the angle between the horizontal side and the hypotenuse, sin(x) = 12/13 but also the anser should be in this sentences.

What is the correct equation for calculating the average atomic mass for 3 isotopes? (pls be 100%of your answer pls no guessing)

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The correct equation for measuring the average microscopic weight for 3 isotopes is multiply the rate of abundance by each weight and add them.

Explanation:

To calculate the average microscopic mass of element using weights and relative abundance we have to follow the following steps.

Take the correct weight of each isotope (that will be in decimal form)

Multiply the weight of each isotope by its abundance

Add each of the results together.

This gives the required average microscopic weight of the three isotopes.

An object is placed perpendicular to the the principal axis of convex lens of focal length 8,the distance of the object from the

Digiron [165]

Answer:

v = 24 cm and inverted image

Explanation:

Given that,

The focal length of the object, f = +8 cm

Object distance, u = -12 cm

We need to find the position &nature of the image. Let v be the image distance. Using lens formula to find it :

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

Put all the values,

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{(-12)}\\\\v=24\ cm$

So, the image distance from the lens is 24 cm.

Magnification,

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{24}{-12}\\\\m=-2$

The negative sign of magnification shows that the formed image is inverted.
