Gravitational potential energy = m * g* h

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential is referred as the energy spent to move the mass from one point to another. It is represented in the unit as Joules per kilogram.

Gravitational potential energy = m * g * h where m denotes the mass of the object, g denotes the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m / s 2, and h denotes the height in meters.

The equation for gravitational potential energy is GPE = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 on Earth), and h is the height above the ground in meters.

Abdou was explaining to a classmate that graphite is a good lubricant

balu736 [363]

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other.

<h3>Why is graphite a solid lubricant?</h3>

We know that graphite is composed of layers. These hexagonal layers are held together by weak Van Der Walls forces and as such are able to slide over each other. The carbon atom in each layer are held together by strong covalent bonds.

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other and as such make the graphite fluid.

Thus, the image that shows these layers of graphite is attached to this an answer

What is air pressure?

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A. Earth's gravity pulling down on air molecules

Explanation:

Air pressure refers to the weight of the air per unit surface area. It is the amount of gravitational force which is pulling down the molecules of air.

The common unit of air pressure is: Pascal, atm

1 atm = 101325 Pa

As the column of the air above increases, the air pressure increase. This is because with the increase in amount of air, the weight increase of the air increases. This is the reason a diver feels immense pressure in the sea and cooking takes a lot of time on hilly areas because of low air pressure.
