Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 98.1 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

$E_p=mgh$

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height.

The mass is 5 kilograms and the height is 2 meters. Assuming this ball is on Earth, then the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 meters per square second.

$m= 5 \ kg \\g= 9.81 \ m/s^2 \\\h= 2 \ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$E_p= ( 5 \ kg )(9.81 \ m/s^2)( 2 \ m)$

Multiply the first two numbers.

$E_p=49.05 \ kg*m/s^2 (2 \ m )$

Multiply again.

$E_p= 98.1 \ kg*m^2/s^2$

1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
Our answer is equal to 98.1 Joules

$E_p= 98.1 \ J$

The ball has 98.1 Joules of potential energy.

ruslelena [56]

Answer

Nature of the surfaces.

Explanation

Friction is the the force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in relative motion. If two objects are in contact, one of it or both must be in motion for friction to exist.

Friction is affected by a number of factors.

One is the weight of the object. The more the weight of the object the higher the friction between it and the surface.

The other factor is the nature of the surfaces. Rough surfaces contribute to high friction while smooth surfaces reduces the friction between surfaces.

Answer:

Energy = 7.83 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Energy = 6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon in terms of wavelength can be calculated by the following formula:

$Energy = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\$

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light

Now, for λ = 254 nm = 2.54 x 10⁻⁷ m:

$Energy = \frac{(6.63\ x\ 10^{-34}\ Js)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{2.54\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\$

Energy = 7.83 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, for λ = 300 nm = 3 x 10⁻⁷ m:

$Energy = \frac{(6.63\ x\ 10^{-34}\ Js)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{3\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\$

Energy = 6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Which of the following properties must be known in order to calculate the amount of heat needed to melt 1.0 kg of ice at 0ºC?

meriva

If you're only melting ice ... turning solid ice at 0°C into liquid water at 0°C ...
then you only need to know the latent heat of fusion for water.

That's exactly what it means ... the amount of energy involved when a gram
of H₂O changes in either direction between liquid and solid, with no change
in temperature.
