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.

Lewis dot structure of PSI3 with minimized formal charges
vredina [299]

We need to know how many valence electrons are present in a given molecule in order to determine its Lewis dot structure.

<h3>What is Lewis dot structure?</h3>

Lewis dot structure is defined as the visual representation of atoms' electrons using a diagram. It describe the bonds that exist between a molecule's lone pairs of electrons and its atoms.

A lone pair of electrons on the atom with the formal charge of 1- can typically be converted into a bonding pair that is shared with the atom that has the formal charge of 1+ in order to reduce the formal charges when they are present.

Thus, we need to know how many valence electrons are present in a given molecule in order to determine its Lewis dot structure.

Which of the following has the smallest radius Rb+, K, K+, or Rb+
Stells [14]
The trend of elemental radius increases from top to bottom and from right to left. This means Rb is greater than K. Incorporating the positive charges, K+ is smaller than K and Rb+ is smaller than Rb. Thus, the trend in increasing order is K+,K,Rb+,Rb.

A flexible container is put in a deep freeze. Its original volume is 3.00 m3 at 25.0°C. After the container cools, it has shrunk
Goryan [66]
This is an ideal gas problem. The gas inside the balloon is considered ideal. Ideal gas equation is a function pressure, temperature, amount and volume. Note: amount is constant since the balloon ins closed. Pressure is maintained constant since the walls are flexible. Ideal gas equation is: PV=nRT. Put all constant in one side and variables in one. 

P/nR=T/V. To find the answer to the question equate the constants of both situation 
T1/V1=T2/V2
