Answer:

It was most likely static electricity

Explanation:

Static electricity comes down to the interactive force between electrical charges.

So because your computer charger has electricity the foil is a conductor so the sparks were most likely static electricity

An object has 1200 J of gravitational potential energy when it is dropped. Right when the object hits the ground how much kineti
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is 1200 J

Explanation:

The Principle of Conservation of energy states that "energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is transformed".

This means that energy can be transformed from one form to another, but the total amount of energy always remains constant, that is, the total energy is the same before and after each transformation.

The mechanical energy of a body or a physical system is the sum of its kinetic energy and the potential energy. According to the Principle of Conservation of Energy for mechanical energy, the total mechanical energy that a body possesses is constant at every instant of time.

Since mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy that a body possesses, the only way to stay constant is that:

  • when the kinetic energy increases the gravitational potential energy decreases,
  • when gravitational potential energy increases, kinetic energy decreases.

Due to the Principle of Conservation of Energy you can say that the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.  So Gravitational potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom

<u><em>The kinetic energy is 1200 J</em></u>

How do you identify the number of valence electrons in an element using periodic table
frosja888 [35]
You may look at what group they are in
Group
1A=Group 1
2A = Group 2
3A = Group 13
4A= Group 14
5A=Group 15
6A=Group 16
7A=Group 17

The #A tells you how many valence electrons there are by the # before A. Such as Chlorine, which is in 7A, so therefore has 7 valence electrons.
