Well, first of all, the formula for finding potential energy is;
PE=mgh
  Where; m is the mass
               g is the gravitational force or acceleration due to gravity
                h is the height. 
   Anyway, according to the question, the mass is 1kg, the acceleration due to gravity has a constant value of 10ms² . And the height is 3m. Now you just have to use all these in the formula. So;
mgh= 1 x 10 x 3. That will be 30. And the unit of potential energy is Joule. So the answer is 30 joules. Hope i helped. Have a nice day.

A student heats the same amount of two different liquids over Bunsen burners. Each liquid is at room temperature when the studen
ZanzabumX [31]

If Liquid 1 has a higher specific heat than Liquid 2, then Liquid 1 will take longer to increase in temperature because the higher specific heat of a liquid needs more thermal energy for heating a liquid.

<h3>What is specific heat?</h3>

Specific heat of a substance refers to the quantity of heat that is required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree so we can conclude that  Liquid 1 will take longer to increase in temperature

The Charles Zeppelin, a fictional airship, is filled with 2.16 x 105 liters of hydrogen gas (H2). On the ground, the airship’s t
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

V2 = 3.11 x 105 liters

Explanation:

Initial Volume, V1 = 2.16 x 105 liters

Initial Temperature, T1 = 295 K

Final Temperature, T2 = 425 K

Final Volume, V2 = ?

These quantities are related by charle's law and the equation of the law is given as;

V1 / T1  =  V2 / T2

V2 = T2 * V1 / T1

V2 = 425 * 2.16 x 105 / 295

V2 = 3.11 x 105 liters

An experimental spacecraft consumes a special fuel at a rate of 372 L/min. The density of the fuel is 0.730 g/mL and the standar
Karolina [17]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate fuel consumption is as follows.

         372 L/min \times 1000 ml/L \times 0.730 g/ml \times \frac{1}{60} min/s

           = 4526 g/s

Now, we will calculate the power as follows.

        Power = Fuel consumption rate × -enthalpy of combustion

                    = 4526 g/s \times -26.5 kJ/g

                    = 1.19 \times 10^{5} kW

Thus, we can conclude that maximum power (in units of kilowatts) that can be produced by this spacecraft is 1.19 \times 10^{5} kW.

A student attempts to separate 4.656 g of a sand/salt mixture just like you did in this lab. After carrying out the experiment,
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Total mixture = 4.656 g

Sand recovered = 2.775 g

percent composition of sand in the mixture

= (2.775 g / 4.656 g ) x 100

= 59.6 % .

b )

Total of sand and salt recovered = 2.775 g + .852 g = 3.627 g .

Total mixture = 4.656 g

percent recovery = (3.627 / 4.656 ) x 100

= 77.9 % .
