Alex73 [517]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of book = 5 N

Height of shelf = 1.5 meter

Find:

Potential energy of book

Computation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration of gravity

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

Potential energy of book = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

We know that;

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

So,

Potential energy of book = 5 x 1.5

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Among the alkali earth metals, the tendency to react with other substances
padilas [110]
Answer D
In alkali earth metals reacrivity increases from top to bottom (opposite of b)
This is because as you go down, the electron shells increase by 1 shell. The farther away a shell is from the nucleus, the higher its tendency to react.
D is true because the more reactive an alkali metal is, the more vigorous the reaction will be with water.

What of the following is the mathematical form of boyles law?
viva [34]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

V=1/p

By means of cross multiplication so by that we will have pv=1 which also implies p1v1=p2v2 coz boyles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure provided that the temperature in kelvin remains constant
