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.

kompoz [17]

'Ampere' is the unit of current.  That's the rate at which
electrons travel in the circuit ... the number of electrons
every second.  If you wanted the actual amount or number
of electrons, you'd need to know the length of time too.

It doesn't matter whether we're talking about a parallel or
series circuit.

You have 0.5 l of air at a pressure of 203 kpa and -70°c in a rigid, sealed contaainer. what is the absolute tempertaure of the
ANTONII [103]
From the information given and if the question is complete then;
Absolute temperature is the temperature in Kelvin
To convert degree Celsius to kelvin we normally add 273
that is Kelvin = deg Celsius + 273
Thus since we have been given that the air was at -70 degrees celcius;
then; - 70° C  + 273 = 203 K
 Therefore; the absolute temperature is 203 K

What is the reaction for P₄ + 5 O₂ --> 2 P₂O₅
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Combination or synthesis

Explanation:

The reaction is a combination or synthesis reaction in which two or more substances combines to give a single product.

In such a reaction there is formation of compounds from the union of their constituent elements.

 The driving force for such reactions is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.

So, this is a combination reaction.

A 3500 N is force is applied to a spring that has a spring of constant of k= 14000 N/m. How far from equilibrium will the spring
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

F= -K × x

So,

x = \frac{-F}{K}

Now  

x = \frac{-3500}{14000} \\\\

= -0.250m

= 25.0 cm

Hence, the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm
