Answer:
The book sitting on the desk
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position relative to the ground.
It is calculated as:
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height of the object with respect to the ground
From the formula, we see that the GPE of an object is directly proportional to the heigth h: so, the higher the location of the object, the larger the GPE.
In this problem, we are comparing a book sitting on a desk and the same book sitting on the floor. In the two situations, the mass of the book is the same; however, in the first case, the value of the height is h, while in the second case, the value of h is lower (because the book is located at a lower height, being on the floor).
Therefore, we can conclude that the first book must have a larger GPE, since it has a larger value of h.
Answer:
0.184 atm
Explanation:
The ideal gas equation is:
PV = nRT
Where<em> P</em> is the pressure, <em>V</em> is the volume, <em>n</em> is the number of moles, <em>R</em> the constant of the gases, and <em>T</em> the temperature.
So, the sample of N₂O₃ will only have its temperature doubled, with the same volume and the same number of moles. Temperature and pressure are directly related, so if one increases the other also increases, then the pressure must double to 0.092 atm.
The decomposition occurs:
N₂O₃(g) ⇄ NO₂(g) + NO(g)
So, 1 mol of N₂O₃ will produce 2 moles of the products (1 of each), the <em>n </em>will double. The volume and the temperature are now constants, and the pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles, so the pressure will double to 0.184 atm.
Answer:
The scientist is observing an intensive property of a superconductor.
Explanation:
An intensive property is a bulk property of matter. This means that an intensive property does not depend on the amount of substance present in the material under study. Typical examples of intensive properties include; conductivity, resistivity, density, hardness, etc.
An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of substance present in a sample. Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter present in the sample under study. Examples of extensive properties include, mass and volume.
Resistance of a superconducting material has nothing to do with the amount of the material present hence it is an intensive property of the superconductor.
