because I said so and I think it's right
Answer:
Since the gravitational potential energy of an object is directly proportional to its height above the zero position, a doubling of the height will result in a doubling of the gravitational potential energy. A tripling of the height will result in a tripling of the gravitational potential energy.
Answer:
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell. In cellular respiration sugar with the help of oxygen is broken down into ATP (energy molecule).
Since this process involves a matter-state change from solid to liquid, melting is occurring.
Ionic compounds have very strong intermolecular 'bonds': this is because it is formed by a metal atom donating one or more electrons to a non-metal atom in order to result in complete valence shells, with the effect that opposite ions are formed (opposites attract). Hence a large input of energy is needed to overcome these 'bonds' and form a liquid from the giant solid ionic lattice - therefore ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
Conversely a covalent bond occurs between two non-metal atoms - unlike ionic compounds which form giant ionic structures, covalent bonds are used to form molecules. These only have weak intermolecular forces, which need a small energy input to overcome: therefore the melting and boiling points will be much lower.
Considering that the compound has been taken from the freezer, which is 0 degrees celcius or lower, the state change has occurred at a low temperature. This makes it extremely likely that the compound is covalent.
In conclusion, the correct answer is d.
