The elastic potential energy (Ep) is given by

Data:
Ep = ? (Joule)
k = 20 N/m
x (displacement) = 0.20 m
Solving:




The correct answer is
C. The battery
The battery is a device that provides a potential difference in the circuit, and so an electromotive force (e.m.f.) which pushes the electrons in the circuit from the negative pole towards the positive pole of the battery, so they move through the circuit. Therefore, it provides electrical energy.
Because other scientists and science in general rely on their collegues' research which in turn allows development of our knowledge on the given subject. The more dont-to-earth reason may be safety. If someone performs an experiment without knowledge of its true results it might result in some danger to the safety of those perforning it without knowledge of all the risks.
First, we calculate the mass of Phosphorous present:
283.88 x 0.4364
= 123.88 amu
Atomic mass of P is 31 amu
moles of P = mass / Ar
= 123.88 / 31
= 4.0 moles
We know that one mole of substance has 6.02 x 10²³ particles
Atoms of P = 4 x 6.02 x 10²³
= 2.41 x 10²⁴ atoms
