Answer:

The energy possessed by a body as a result of its position or condition rather than its motion.

Simplified, this formula can be written as: Potential Energy = mgh, where m is the mass, measured in kilograms; g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 at the surface of the Earth); and h is the height, measured in meters.

Answer:

potential energy. noun. the energy of a body or system as a result of its position in an electric, magnetic, or gravitational field. It is measured in joules (SI units), electronvolts, ergs, etcSymbol: E p, V, U, φ Abbreviation: PE.

Calculate a rate of cooling down of air from 80 C to 5C Show calculation. Give an answer in cubic meters per minute and cfm.
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate of cooling of air

Initial temperature= 80°C

Final temperature = 5°C

We need to calculate

Using newton's law of cooling

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(T-T_{0})

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})

Where, dT=T_{1}-T_{2}

Here, T =\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}

T_{0} = 25°C  (surrounding temperature)

dt = 1 minute

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{80-5}{1}=c(\dfrac{85}{2}-25)

c=\dfrac{75}{17.5}

c=4.285\ cubic\ meter/minute

Hence, This is the required answer.

Which of the following natural factors is likely to support the formation of an oceanic island?
stepan [7]
The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.<span> </span>
