Answer:

8.829 Joules

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object, is the energy it posses (the energy stored within the object) by virtue of its relative elevation or height, position, state, or arrangement

The potential energy of an object raised to a given height, P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity, a constant ≈ 9.81 m/s²

h = The present height of the object

For the potato sack having a mass, m = 2 kg, and raised to a height, h = 450 cm = 0.45 m, we have;

The potential energy given to the potato sack, by raising its height, P.E. is given as follows;

P.E. = 2 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 0.45 m = 8.829 Joules

The potential energy given to the potato sack, P.E. = 8.829 Joules

Heptane and water do not mix, and heptane has a lower density (0.684 g/mL) than water (1.00 g/mL). A graduated cylinder contains

lakkis [162]

Given that the density of heptane is

$d_h=\frac{0.684g}{mL}$

The mass of heptane is

$m_h=31\text{ g}$

The density of water is

$d_w=\frac{1g}{mL}$

The mass of water is

$m_w=37\text{ g}$

The volume of heptane will be

$\begin{gathered} V_h=\frac{m_h}{d_h} \\ =\frac{31}{0.684} \\ =45.32\text{ mL} \end{gathered}$

The volume of water will be

$\begin{gathered} V_w=\frac{m_w}{d_w} \\ =\frac{37}{1} \\ =37\text{ mL} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the volume of heptane is 45.32 mL and the volume of water is 37 mL.

The total volume of liquid in the cylinder will be

$\begin{gathered} V=V_h+V_w \\ =45.32+37 \\ =82.32\text{ mL} \end{gathered}$

The total volume of liquid in the cylinder will be 82.32 mL.

X-rays are used instead of visible light because X-rays have shorter ______________ than visible light, allowing them to produce

Novay_Z [31]

X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.
