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

What quantity of heat is required to change 20g of ice at -25°c to steam at 120°c
Oksana_A [137]

Answer: 5289 joules

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) required to heat a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since, Mass of ice = 20 g

C is not provided (Recall that the specific heat capacity of ice is 2.010J/g°C)

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

(120°C - (-25°C) =

120°C + 25°C = 145°C

Thus, Q = 20g x 2.010J/g°C x 145°C

Q= 5829J

Thus, 5829Joules of heat energy is required to heat ice

The more particles a substance has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has.
olasank [31]
The statement '<span>The more particles a substance has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has' is true. </span><span>The kinetic molecular theory of gases has three main laws and one of them is the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is the behavior and movement it does in the surroundings. It is directly proportional to temperature wherein if you increase the temperature, the kinetic energy of a particle also increases. It will also decrease its movement or its kinetic energy if the temperature lowers. </span>
