Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>
Explanation:
<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.
</em>
That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.
In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy
will be:
Where
is the mass of the object,
the acceleration due gravity and
the height of the object.
As we can see, the value of
is directly proportional to the height.
This leads to a paradox known as the Gibbs paradox, after Josiah Willard Gibbs. The paradox allows for the entropy of closed systems to decrease, violating the second law of thermodynamics. A related paradox is the "mixing paradox".
Because metallic bonds involve all of the metal atoms in a piece of metal sharing all of their valence electrons with "delocalized" bonds.
The answer is A
Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are very good thermal conductors. Materials that are poor conductors of thermal energy are called thermal insulators. Gases such as air and materials such as plastic and wood are thermal insulators
