Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 40.4299 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

Potential energy is energy due to position. It is the product of mass, height, and acceleration due to gravity.

PE= m \times g \times h

The mass of the textbook is 1.85 kilograms. Assuming this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per square second. The height is 2.23 meters.

  • m= 1.85 kg
  • g= 9.8 m/s²
  • h= 2.23 m

Substitute the values into the formula.

PE = 1.85 \ kg \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 2.23 \ m

Multiply the first 2 numbers together.

PE=18.13 \ kg*m/s^2 *2.23 \ m

Multiply again.

PE= 40.4299 \ kg*m^2/s^2

  • 1 kilogram square meter per square second (1 kg*m²/s²) is equal to 1 Joules (J)
  • Our answer of 40.4299 kg*m²/s² is equal to 40.4299 J

PE= 40.4299 \ J

The textbook has <u>40.4299 Joules of potential energy.</u>

What kind of questions CANNOT be answered by chemistry?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

d. why matter exists

Explanation:

The kind of questions that chemistry CANNOT answer is "why matter exists".

In Chemistry, question of how the properties, composition and structure of substances are is answered. Also, the transformations that these substances undergo, and the energy that they release or absorbe during the transformation processes are revealed in chemistry.

Chemistry can answer the question of what forms of matter exists but cannot answer why matter actually exists.

Why do we not know yet if we live in multiverse
kherson [118]

The people of he world believe and they don't believe.

I,myself, think we do land don't live in multiverse.

Why: Because in science I hear that there are many universes out there that need to b explored.

Not: Because if we did, don't you think that Astronauts and the U.S. would try and find different universes.

I hope I helped you!:)
