Answer:

A: A boulder that is falling after being pushed off a cliff.

C: A pebble in a slingshot before it has been shot.

Explanation:

These are examples of potential energy because they are holding energy before it is released.

Hope this helps

Answer:

Your two answers would be 'An iron nail as it moves towards a magnet' and 'A pebble in a slingshot before it has been shot'.

Explanation:

Potential energy is energy stored for when the kinetic energy needs to be released. Kinetic energy is released when objects are in full motion.

Options A and D (The boulder one and the pebble traveling as it is shot) imply that the objects are moving and already using kinetic energy. Therefore, the other two options B and D, stated in the answer box, make the most sense.

Why are some constellations visible year-round, while others appear only part of the year?

zalisa [80]

Circumpolar constellations stay in the sky. Because of the rotation of the Earth and its orbit around the Sun, we divide the stars and constellations into two groups. Some stars & constellations never rise nor set, and they are called circumpolar.

Which of the statements applies to oxidation?

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is: (A) Ketones cannot be oxidized further

Explanation:

Oxidation refers to the gain of oxygen or the formation of carbon-oxygen bond (C-O bond).

Alcohols are organic compounds containing at least one hydroxyl group. These compounds can be further classified into primary (R-CH₂-OH), secondary (R¹R²CH-OH) and tertiary alcohols (R¹R²R³C-OH).

The partial oxidation of primary alcohol gives aldehyde (R-CHO). Further oxidation of aldehyds gives carboxylic acid (R-COOH). Primary alcohol can also be oxidized directly to carboxylic acid. However, the carboxylic acid can not be further oxidized.

$R-CH_{2}-OH \overset{[O]}{\rightarrow} R-CHO \overset{[O]}{\rightarrow} R-COOH \\R-CH_{2}-OH \overset{[O]}{\rightarrow} R-COOH$
