Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms

Why is it that the weight of an object weighing 1N air, weighs more when immersed in water ?
Anni [7]
There is no "why", because that's not what happens.  The truth is
exactly the opposite. 

Whatever the weight of a solid object is in air, that weight will appear
to be LESS when the object is immersed in water.

The object is lifted by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
It displaces the same amount of air or water, and any amount of water
weighs more than the same amount of air.  So the force that lifts the
object in water is greater than the force that lifts it in air, and the object
appears to weigh less in the water.

Based on the data in the table...especially the provided melting points, which two substances are
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The two substances that are mostly likely examples of covalent bonding are Sucrose and Ethanol.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What is a covalent Bond?</h3>
  • A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of pairs of electron between atoms.

Examples of compounds with covalent bond include the following;

  • Distilled water
  • Sucrose
  • Ethanol

Olive oil is a mixture not a compound

Sodium Chloride & Potassium lodide are examples of ionic bond.

Thus, the two substances that are mostly likely examples of covalent bonding are Sucrose and Ethanol.
