The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
  • m = mass of the cat
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = First height
  • h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 15 kg
  • H = 2.5 m
  • h = 1.3 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
  • ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J

Suppose the earth is shaped as a sphere with radius 4,0004,000 miles and suppose it rotates once every 24 hours. How many miles
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

1047 miles

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is

r = 4000 (miles)

So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by

L=2\pi r= 2\pi(4000)=25133 mi

Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:

L' = \frac{25133 mi}{24h}=1047 mi

Magnesium is a highly flammable element which is easily combustible in the presence of oxygen:
NemiM [27]

4 atoms

Explanation:

On the product side, we expect to find 4 atoms of the product.

    An atom is the smallest indivisible particle that takes part in a chemical reaction.

    An element is a distinct substance that cannot be split-up into simpler substances. Such substances consist of only one kind of atom.

    In this reaction we have:

       2 elements:             Mg                O

on the reactant side:

   We have two moles of Mg:   2 atoms of Mg

            1 mole of oxygen gas:   2 atoms of O

                             total atoms:    4 atoms

According to the law of conservation of matter "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed".

We expect to find 4 atoms of products which is MgO on the product side.

              2Mg + O₂ →  2MgO + heat
