A 1.85 kg textbook is sitting on a bookshelf 2.23 m above the floor. How much potential energy does it have?

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>

Kinetic energy is 1/2m*v^2
They already halved the mass for you and they already squared the velocity for you. I’m unsure why you’re even asking this question. It’s simple multiplication at this point.
(27.5kg)*(4m^2/s^2) = 110 Jules

Why is it better to conduct an experiment more than once?
lilavasa [31]

The first reason to repeat experiments is simply to verify results. Different science disciplines have different criteria for determining what good results are. Biological assays, for example must be done in at least triplicate to generate acceptable data. Science is built on the assumption that published experimental protocols are repeatable.


2)      The next reason to repeat experiments is to develop skills necessary to extend established methods and develop new experiments. “Practice make perfect” is true for the concert hall and the chemical laboratory.


3)      Refining experimental observations is another reason to repeat. Maybe you did not follow the progress of the reaction like you should have.


4)      Another reason to repeat experiments is to study and/or improve them in way. In the synthetic chemistry laboratory, for example, there is always a desire to improve the yield of a synthetic step. Will certain changes in the experimental conditions lead to a better yield? The only way to find out is to try it! The scientific method informs us that it is best to only make one change at a time.


5)  The final reason to repeat an extraction, chromatographic or synthetic protocol is to produce more of your target substance. This is sometimes referred to scale-up.

The electrical conductivities of the following 0.100 M solutions were measured in an apparatus that contained a light bulb as th
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Al(NO₃)₃ >  KI > HF > CH₃OH

Explanation:

The electrical conductivities of the solutions will depend on the concentration of ions in solution.

Al(NO₃)₃ solution contains 0.1 M of Al³⁺ ions and 0.3 M of NO₃⁻ ions

KI solution contains 0.1 M of K⁺ ions and 0.1 M of I⁻ ions

HF solution contains less than 0.1 M of H⁺ ions and less then 0.1 M of F⁻ ions, because the HF acid will not dissociate completely

CH₃OH practically it does not dissociate, so in the solution will not be electrical conductive (comparative with the other solutions)

The solutions in order of decreasing intensity of the bulb are ranked as following:

Al(NO₃)₃ >  KI > HF > CH₃OH
