It changes when you have started pushing the rock because at that moment it has started moving
Firlakuza [10]2 years ago

Answer:

The mechanical energy of a body is the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy

E_m=E_p+E_k

The potential energy has the following formula

E_p=m.g.h

Gravity is a constant as is the mass, the only thing that makes the potential nerve change is the height of our reference system zero

As the rock is in the ground, it is at zero level, therefore it has no height. Its potential energy is zero

kinetic energy has the following formula

E_k=\frac{1}{2}m.V^2

Mass is a constant value so the kinetic energy changes when we vary its speed

The moment we push the rock, it acquires a nonzero speed and we have a certain amount of kinetic energy

As we know, mechanical energy is the sum of these two energies and as we have seen, its potential energy is always zero, at the moment when the rock acquires speed (therefore it has kinetic energy) at that point our effort to push the rock change the mechanical energy

A 5.024 mg sample of an unknown organic molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen only was burned and yielded 13.90 mg
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

C8H17N

Explanation:

Mass of the unknown compound = 5.024 mg

Mass of CO2 = 13.90 mg

Mass of H2O = 6.048 mg

Next, we shall determine the mass of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen present in the compound. This is illustrated below:

For carbon, C:

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of C = 12/44 x 13.90 = 3.791 mg

For hydrogen, H:

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H = 2/18 x 6.048 = 0.672 mg

For nitrogen, N:

Mass N = mass of unknown – (mass of C + mass of H)

Mass of N = 5.024 – (3.791 + 0.672)

Mass of N = 0.561 mg

Now, we can obtain the empirical formula for the compound as follow:

C = 3.791 mg

H = 0.672 mg

N = 0.561 mg

Divide each by their molar mass

C = 3.791 / 12 = 0.316

H = 0.672 / 1 = 0.672

N = 0.561 / 14 = 0.040

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.316 / 0.04 = 8

H = 0.672 / 0.04 = 17

N = 0.040 / 0.04 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula for the compound is C8H17N

How many moles of KCl will be<br> produced from 15.0 g of KClO3?
slega [8]

Answer:

0.12 mol KCl

Explanation:

2 KClO3 (s)   2 KCl (s) + 3 O2 (g)

15 g                x mol

x g KCl = 15 g KClO3 x[ (1 mol KClO3)/ (122.5 g KClO3) ] x [(2 mol KCl)/ (2 mol KClO3)]

x g KCl = 0.12 mol KCl

andre [41]

Answer:

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

A metal sample is heated and placed into the water in a calorimeter at room temperature. Which statement best describes how the calorimeter can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample?

Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature

. Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

EXPLANATION;

Using calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample can be associated to the theory of conservation of energy because heat which is a form of energy is been transfer of heat between the metal to the water and the calorimeter, this process will proceed till single temperature is attained.

The change in the amount of temperature of the water in the calorimeter is measured in order to get the difference in heat change of the calorimeter water.

CHANGE IN HEAT CAN BE CALCULATED USING THE FORMULA.

Q = cmΔT where Q is the change in heat , c is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in temperature
