The answer is 117.6 J

The potential energy of the object is actually its stored energy:

<span>E = m · g · h
E - the potential energy of the object,
m - the mass of the object,
g - acceleration due to gravity,
h - the height of the object.

m = 4 kg
g = 9.8 m/s</span>²
h = 3 m

E = 4 * 9.8 * 3 = 117.6 J

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 32 m/s and comes to a stop with an acceleration of -6 m/s2. How long did it
diamong [38]

Answer: 6s

Explanation:

Vs=32m/s  speed at beginning of slowing down

Vf=0m/s     stop speed

a= -6 m/s²  acceleration

----------------

Use equation for acceleration :

a=(Vf-Vs)/t

a*t=Vf-Vs

t=(Vf-Vs)/a

t=(0-36)/-6

t=-36/-6

t=6 s

3. According to Hund's rule, what's the expected magnetic behavior of vanadium (V)?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Diamagnetic

Explanation:

Hunds rule states that electrons occupy each orbital singly first before pairing takes place in degenerate orbitals. This implies that the most stable arrangement of electrons in an orbital is one in which there is the greatest number of parallel spins(unpaired electrons).

For vanadium V ion, there are 18 electrons which will be arranged as follows;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6.

All the electrons present are spin paired hence the ion is expected to be diamagnetic.
