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.

When monochromatic light passes through the interface between two unknown materials at an angle θ where 0∘<θ<90∘, no chang
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

the correct one is the first,   the refractive index of the two materials must be the same

Explanation:

When a beam of light passes through two materials, it must comply with the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of each medium.

In this case, it indicates that the light does not change direction, so the input and output angle of the interface must be the same,

       θ₁ = θ₂ = θ

substituting

          n₁ = n₂

therefore the refractive index of the two materials must be the same

A capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area a separated by a distance
MakcuM [25]
When a dielectric material is inserted between two plates of capacitor that are connected to a battery, you would observe that both the charge and the capacitance of the capacitor would change. This is due to the dielectric material which is able to transmit electric force.

How much heat is released when 12.0 grams of helium gas condense at 2.17 K? The latent heat of vaporization of helium is 21 J/g.
uranmaximum [27]
To determine the heat released by the process of condensation, we simply multiply the amount of the gas that condensed to the latent heat of vaporization. We do as follows:

Heat released = 21 J/g (12.0 g ) = 252 J of heat released

If a passenger train is traveling on a straight track with a negative velocity and a positive acceleration, is it speeding up or
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Slowing down

Explanation:

Since a train with negative velocity and positive acceleration, this means its acceleration is in opposite direction with the velocity. As time progress, this opposite direction would decrease the velocity magnitude, making the train slowing down.
