Potential energy is directly related to the height of an object. Point 1 is higher than point 4, so the potential energy is greater at point 1.

The most probable answer would be Point 1 is higher than Point 4.

Potential gravitational energy is computed by the formula:

PEgrav =mgh

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity (this is a constant value of 9.8m/s²)

h = height

The roller coaster of course, no matter where in the track it is would have the same mass (Unless someone falls off -_-) Pull of gravity is the same as well.

So the only factor that would affect it is the height. So if the height goes up, the potential energy goes up too. If the height goes down, then the potential energy goes down too.

Hopefully you'll come up with the right answer with this. v(0-0)v

Nio conducts a science experiment. He puts yeast into a bottle with water and sugar, and then caps the bottle with a balloon. He

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When yeast is added into a bottle with water and sugar then after some time yeast becomes activated. This results in the formation of a chemical change as bubbles are formed on the surface of the mixture in the bottle.

This indicates that a gas has been released due to the chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that most likely a chemical change has occurred because a gas was produced.

I have a problem in this questions?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

8.46E+1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge 1 (q₁) = 39 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = –53 C

Force (F) of attraction = 26×10⁸ N

Electrical constant K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Distance apart (r) =?

The distance between the two charges can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

26×10⁸ = 9×10⁹ × 39 × 53 / r²

26×10⁸ = 1.8603×10¹³ / r²

Cross multiply

26×10⁸ × r² = 1.8603×10¹³

Divide both side by 26×10⁸

r² = 1.8603×10¹³ / 26×10⁸

r² = 7155

Take the square root of both side

r = √7155

r = 84.6 m

r = 8.46E+1 m

Calculate the separation between the two lowest levels for an O2 molecule in a one-dimensional container of length 5.0 cm. At wh

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The separation between the two lowest levels = $1.24 * 10^{-39}J$

The values of n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT at 300K = $2.2 * 10^{9}$

The separation at this level = 1.8 * $10^{-30}$ J

Explanation:

Knowing the formula

En = $\frac{n^{2} h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$

Mass of oxygen molecule

m (O2) = 32 amu * $\frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu}$

So the energy diference between the two lowest levels:

E2 - E1 = $\frac{3h^{2} }{8mL^{2} }$

E2 - E1 = $\frac{3 * (6.626 * 10^{-34} Js)^{2} } {8 * 32 amu * (\frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu})* (5*10^{-2})^{2} } = 1.24 * 10^{-39}J$

Now we should find n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT

En = $\frac{n^{2} h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{2}kT$

$\frac{h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$ = $4.13 * 10^{-14}J$

$n^{2} * (4.13 * 10^{-14}J) = \frac{1}{2} (1.38 * 10^{-23}JK^{-1}) * 300K$

$n = 2.2 * 10^{9}$

by the end is necessary to calculate the separation of the level

En - En-1 = $(n^{2} - (n - 1)^{2}) * \frac{h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$

= 1.8 * $10^{-30}$ J
