Scientists often repeat one or more steps several times.
Answer:
A. Whatever is in the water, it moves. Even if a block is placed in there, it would move by sinking to the bottom. If a plastic bag was placed in there, it wouldn't sink but move a little.
Answer:

Explanation:
Potential energy is energy due to position. It is the product of mass, height, and acceleration due to gravity.

The mass of the textbook is 1.85 kilograms. Assuming this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per square second. The height is 2.23 meters.
- m= 1.85 kg
- g= 9.8 m/s²
- h= 2.23 m
Substitute the values into the formula.

Multiply the first 2 numbers together.

Multiply again.

- 1 kilogram square meter per square second (1 kg*m²/s²) is equal to 1 Joules (J)
- Our answer of 40.4299 kg*m²/s² is equal to 40.4299 J

The textbook has <u>40.4299 Joules of potential energy.</u>
I would agree with the second one, not the first. You can't always see the chemical reaction, and it isn't always sudden. But the second claim is true.
