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 is the mass of substance that exactly fills a 247.2 mL container? The density of the substance is 0.81 g/mL. Give the answe
matrenka [14]

Answer:

<h2>mass = 200.23 g</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

Density =  \frac{mass}{volume}

Since we are finding the mass

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

Density = 0.81 g/mL

volume = 247.2 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the mass

mass = 0.81 × 247.2

= 200.232

We have the final answer as

<h3>mass = 200.23 g to 2 decimal places</h3>

Hope this helps you
