Answer:

The kinetic energy of an object is also measured in joules. Anything that is moving has kinetic energy, but various factors affect how much kinetic energy an object has. The first factor is speed. If two identical objects are moving at different speeds, the faster object has more kinetic energy. In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.

Answer: Potential energy is a little different. It is the energy an object has the potential to create. The energy produced is determined similarly to kinetic. It depends on the object's mass, the gravitational pull when up or down slopes, and the height of the reference point.

another explanation:

a) Potential Energy:

mass and height

We know that potential energy, PE is equal to the product of the mass, the gravitational acceleration and the height.

Since gravity is constant, the mass and height are the factors.

b) Kinetic Energy:

The mass (m) of the object and the speed (v) of the object.

Because kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, increases in velocity will have an exponentially greater effect on transitional kinetic energy. Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.

A sample of O2 gas occupies a volume of 571 mL at 26 ºC. If pressure remains constant, what would be the new volume if the tempe

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: The new volume at different given temperatures are as follows.

(a) 109.81 mL

(b) 768.65 mL

(c) 18052.38 mL

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 571 mL, $T_{1} = 26^{o}C$

(a) $T_{2} = 5^{o}C$

The new volume is calculated as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{571 mL}{26^{o}C} = \frac{V_{2}}{5^{o}C}\\V_{2} = 109.81 mL$

(b) $T_{2} = 95^{o}F$

Convert degree Fahrenheit into degree Cesius as follows.

$(1^{o}F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = ^{o}C\\(95^{o}F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 35^{o}C$

The new volume is calculated as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{571 mL}{26^{o}C} = \frac{V_{2}}{35^{o}C}\\V_{2} = 768.65 mL$

(c) $T_{2} = 1095 K = (1095 - 273)^{o}C = 822^{o}C$

The new volume is calculated as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{571 mL}{26^{o}C} = \frac{V_{2}}{822^{o}C}\\V_{2} = 18052.38 mL$

In everyday speech the words precision and accuracy are often used interchangeably. When these terms are used in science are the

padilas [110]

Answer:

No, in science their meanings are not the same as their everyday meanings.

Explanation:

In Science, Precision and Accuracy are defined as,

Accuracy:

Accuracy is the value which is closest to the known or standard value.

Precision:

While, Precision is the value of closeness of two measured values to each other.

Example:

Let suppose in Chemistry Lab you weight an object as 50 g. While the actual weight of that object is 30 g. It means your reading is not accurate.

On second measurement you find that the object weight is 31 g. This time your reading is not precise.

What is the formula ofchromium(III) hydrogensulfate?

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Cr (HSO4)3

Explanation:

its molecular weight is 343.20 g/mol

its molecular formula can also be written as CrH3O12S3

molar mass of Cr (HSO4)3 can be calculated by following method;

atomic mass of Cr = 51.9961 u

atomic mass of H = 1 u

atomic mass of S = 32.065 u

atomic mass of O = 16 u

molar mass of Cr(HSO4)3 = 51.9961+ 1.00784×3 + 32.065×3 + 15.999×12

molar mass of Cr(HSO4)3 =51.9961+3.02352+96.195+ 191.988

molar mass of Cr(HSO4)3 = 343.20 g/mol
