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>

The question in the picture, I really a correct answer, no cheap answers​
Delvig [45]

Answer:

94.325 g

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 350 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

350 mL = 350 mL × 1 L /1000 mL

350 mL = 0.35 L

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of KC₂H₃O₂ in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume = 0.35 L

Molarity of KC₂H₃O₂ = 2.75 M

Mole of KC₂H₃O₂ =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

2.75 = Mole of KC₂H₃O₂ / 0.35

Cross multiply

Mole of KC₂H₃O₂ = 2.75 × 0.35

Mole of KC₂H₃O₂ = 0.9625 mole

Finally, we shall determine the mass of KC₂H₃O₂ needed to prepare the solution. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mole of KC₂H₃O₂ = 0.9625 mole

Molar mass of KC₂H₃O₂ = 39 + (12×2) +(3×1) + (16×2)

= 39 + 24 + 3 + 32

= 98 g/mol

Mass of KC₂H₃O₂ =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of KC₂H₃O₂ = 0.9625 × 98

Mass of KC₂H₃O₂ = 94.325 g

Thus, the mass of KC₂H₃O₂ needed to prepare the solution is 94.325 g
