The energy changes because at the top of the roller coaster you are at a stop( potential) and when you go down the slope you gain speed(kinetic)

When the roller coaster is going up the hill, the potential energy (stored energy) is increasing and once at the top of the hill the potential energy is at its highest point becuase the velocity Is almost zero. Once the rollercoaster falls and speeds down the hill, the potential energy is converting to kinetic energy because of the movement. Kinetic energy is moving energy and potential energy is stored energy.

1. A student sees tiny bubbles clinging to the inside of an unopened plastic bottle full of carbonated soft drinks. The student

Answer:

1) The bubbles will grow, and more may appear.

2)Can A will make a louder and stronger fizz than can B.

Explanation:

When you squeeze the sides of the bottle you increase the pressure pushing on the bubble, making it compress into a smaller space. This decrease in volume causes the bubble to increase in density. When the bubble increases in density, the bubble will grow and more bubbles will appear. Therefore, Changing the pressure (by squeezing the bottle) changes the volume of the bubbles. The number of bubbles doesn't change, just their size increases.

Carbonated drinks tend to lose their fizz at higher temperatures because the loss of carbon dioxide in liquids is increased as temperature is raised. This can be explained by the fact that when carbonated liquids are exposed to high temperatures, the solubility of gases in them is decreased. Hence the solubility of CO2 gas in can A at 32°C is less than the solubility of CO2 in can B at 8°C. Thus can A will tend to make a louder fizz more than can B.

What mass of CH3COOH is present in a 250 mL cup of 1.25 mol/L solution of vinegar?

aleksley [76]

If 1000 ml (1 L) of CH₃COOH contain 1.25 mol
let 250 ml of CH₃COOH contain x

⇒ x = $\frac{250 ml * 1.25mol}{1000 ml}$

= 0.3125 mol

∴ moles of CH₃COOH in 250ml is 0.3125 mol

Now, Mass = mole × molar mass

= 0.3125 mol × [(12 × 2)+(16 × 2)+(1 × 4)] g/mol

= 18.75 g

∴ Mass of CH₃COOH present in a 250 mL cup of 1.25 mol/L solution of vinegar is <span>18.75 g</span>
