Daniddmelo says it right there, don't know why he got reported.

The potential energy (PE) is mass x height x gravity. So it would be 25 kg x 4  m x 9.8 = 980 joules. The child starts out with 980 joules of potential energy. The kinetic energy (KE) is (1/2) x mass x velocity squared. KE = (1/2) x 25 kg x 5 m/s2 = 312.5 joules. So he ends with 312.5 joules of kinetic energy. The Energy lost to friction =  PE - KE. 980- 312.5 = 667.5 joules of energy lost to friction.

Please don't just copy and paste, and thank you Dan cause you practically did it I just... elaborated more? I dunno.

the nucleus and the subatomic particles in the nucleus, what is the charge of the nucleus of an atom?
pychu [463]
The Nucleus contains Protons and Neutrons.

The Neutrons does not have a charge.

The Protons are positively charge.

Hence the charge on the Nucleus, would be the charge of the proton, which is positive.

Hence Nucleus is Positively Charged.

imagine riding a single-speed bicycle. why do you have to push harders on the pedals to start the bicycle moving than to keep it
Flura [38]
A large force is required to accelerate the mass of the bicycle and rider. Once the desired constant velocity is reached, a much smaller force is sufficient to overcome the ever-present frictional forces.

discuss the difference between molarity and molality, state the units of each, state the symbol of each, and give an example of
Afina-wow [57]
Molarity and molality both describe the concentration of a substance in terms of moles.
Molarity describes the number of moles of a substance per unit of volume, typically per liter (mol/l).
Molality describes the number of moles per unit of mass, typically kilograms (mol/kg). 
When determining the molality of a solution, mol/kg can be obtained by finding the number of moles in the substance, and dividing that number by the the total weight in kilograms of that substance.
When determining the molarity of a solution, mol/l can be obtained by dividing the number of moles in a substance by the total volume in liters of that substance.
