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.

How are plate tectonics and the rock cycle connected
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

All igneous rocks the basis of the rock cycle are formed by plate tectonics. ... The heat from the mantle that fuels plate tectonics causes both igneous and sedimentary rocks to be turned into metamorphic rocks. The metamorphic rocks can be eroded into sedimentary rocks are remelted back into igneous.

A sample of xenon gas at a pressure of 1.14 atm and a temperature of 20.4 °C, occupies a volume of 16.9 liters. If the gas is al
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

P2= 0.696atm

Explanation:

Applying Boyle's law

P1V1= P2V2

1.14×16.9= P2× 27.7

Simplify

P2= (1.14×16.9)/27.7

P2= 0.696atm

Question 2 The metal molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90K. Calculate the temperature at which molybden
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is-272.25°C

Explanation:

Conductor are those hard substances which allows path of electric current through them. And super conductors are those hard substances which have resistance against the flow of electric current through them.

As given, molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90 K.

Temperature in Kelvins can be converted in °C by relation:

T(°C)=273.15-T(K)

Molybdenum becomes superconducting in degrees Celsius.

T(°C)=273.15-0.90= -272.25 °C

Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is -272.25 °C

What is the total number of moles represented by 20 grams of CACO3
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

B. 0.2.

Explanation:

  • We can use the relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass</em>

mass of CaCO₃ = 20 g, molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100.0869 g/mol.

<em>∴ n = mass/molar mass = </em>(20 g)/(100.0869 g/mol) <em>= 0.1998 ≅ 0.2 mol.</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, the right choice is: B. 0.2.</em>
