Answer:
The lose of thermal energy is, Q = 22500 J
Explanation:
Given data,
The mass of aluminium block, m = 1.0 kg
The initial temperature of block, T = 50° C
The final temperature of the block, T' = 25° C
The change in temperature, ΔT = 50° C - 25° C
= 25° C
The specific heat capacity of aluminium, c = 900 J/kg°C
The formula for thermal energy,
<em>Q = mcΔT</em>
= 1.0 x 900 x 25
= 22500 J
Hence, the lose of thermal energy is, Q = 22500 J

Answer:
Height above a surface
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is the energy which an object possesses due to its position above a surface.
It is also the amount of work a force has to do in order to bring an object from a particular position to a point of reference.
It is given mathematically as:
P. E. = m*g*h
where m = mass of the body
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height above a surface
m*g represents the weight of the object.
Hence, Gravitational potential energy is the product of an object's weight and its height above a surface/reference point.
