Answer:

Lowering the object near the ground decreases its potential energy.

Explanation:

Potential Energy : Energy possessed by the object due to its shape ,Size and Position is called potential energy.

Example :

Change in shape and size : When you compress the spring , potential energy is introduced in it . So it expand quickly when you remove your hand.

Change in position : when you swing , after attaining maximum height (extreme ends) , the swing comes back on its on .This is because at maximum height ,the swing has maximum Potential energy . Hence it fall back on its on because it already has potential energy.

Potential energy(P) is given by the formula :

P = mgh

where ,

m= mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the object from the ground

If the height of the object increases from the ground , its potential energy also get increase.

On lowering the object The height of the object from the ground reduces . So potential energy also reduces.

The alternative pathways of photosynthesis using the c4 or cam systems are said to be compromises. why?

frosja888 [35]

It is because C4 compromises on water loss and CAM compromises on photorespiration. and Both minimize photorespiration but expend more ATP during carbon fixation.

Which of the following is altered by a catalyst?

Vika [28.1K]

In chemistry, a catalyst can speed up the reaction (or make it initiate easier) by altering the activation energy, lowering it enough to allow the reactants to react more easily. Some negative catalysts or inhibitors can do the same by increasing the activation energy.

What is the pH of 0.000134 M solution of HCI?

mafiozo [28]

Answer: The pH will be 3.87

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^{-}$

According to stoichiometry,

1 mole of $HCl$ gives 1 mole of $H^+$

Thus $0.000134$ moles of $HCl$ gives = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.000134=0.0001342$ moles of $H^+$

Putting in the values:

$pH=-\log[0.000134]$

$pH=3.87$

Thus the pH will be 3.87

How many grams of diphosphorus pentoxide result if 100.0 g of phosphorus are combined with sufficient oxygen?

gregori [183]

Answer is: 230 g.
Chemical reaction: P₄ + 5O₂ → 2P₂O₅.
m(P₄) = 100 g.
M(P₄) = 4 · 31 g/mol = 124 g/mol.
n(P₄) = m(P₄) ÷ M(P₄) = 100g ÷ 124g/mol = 0,806 mol.
From reaction: n(P₄) : n(P₂O5) = 1 : 2.
n(P₂O₅) = 1,612 mol.
m(P₂O₅) = 1,612 mol · 142g/mol = 230g.
M - molar mass.
n - amount of substance.
