What is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Potential energy is stored energy. An object has a measurable amount of potential energy depending on where it’s located and how it relates to other objects around it — the energy of position.[1]  

An apple on the floor has very little potential energy. Lift it to the top of a skyscraper, and suddenly it has a lot of potential energy. It can fall to the ground under the force of gravity. It can also interact with other objects on its descent, such as striking a flying bird or landing on a car roof and damaging it.  

When the apple is descending, its potential energy has become kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. Kinetic energy is the energy a person or an object has due to its motion — in this example, the falling apple. A parked bike on top of a hill has potential energy, which becomes kinetic energy once you start riding it downhill.  

Both of these energies are measured in joules. Energy is never destroyed or lost when changing from potential energy to kinetic energy — it is merely transformed from one energy type to another. This is known as the law of conservation of energy.[2]  

The potential energy of an object cannot be transferred to another entity – you cannot suck the potential energy out of the apple atop a skyscraper. Kinetic energy is transferable, as witnessed with the falling apple’s kinetic energy damaging a car or hitting a bird.  

What Is the Relationship Between Potential and Kinetic Energy?  

Relationship Potential and Kinetic Energy explained | Waterfall energy image

The relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy is that potential energy can transform into kinetic energy.  

Potential energy is position relative. In other words, it changes depending on an object’s height or distance and the mass of the object. Kinetic energy changes depending on an object’s speed and its mass.  

If we think about a waterfall, some still water at the top of the waterfall has potential energy. It isn’t moving and hasn’t gone over the edge. The water flowing from the waterfall has kinetic energy as it flows.[3]  

A pendulum is an excellent example of this relationship. As the pendulum swings ever higher upwards, its potential energy increases until it reaches its optimum at the highest point of the swing. At the top of the arc, the potential energy turns into kinetic energy as it swings back down.[4]  

What Are Examples of Potential Energy?  

There are two primary types of potential energy: gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy.  

The gravitational force of the Earth causes gravitational potential energy. When a person jumps from a high dive board, they land with much force (and a splash) into the swimming pool below.  

The Earth’s gravity uses the diver’s gravitational force (their weight) to produce the kinetic energy (movement) that brings the diver into the pool. At the top of the diving board, we can talk about the diver’s gravitational potential energy.  

This is the same for apples on trees, bikes on top of a hill, a roller coaster waiting to descend, and a skydiver in a plane — all examples of the potential to do an amount of work.[5]  

Elastic potential energy occurs when you stretch or compress something. A rubber band left on a sideboard has little potential energy. If you pick it up and stretch it, you have increased its potential to do some work.  

If you release the rubber band, it may fly across the room or scare the cat. You manipulated the rubber band to increase its potential energy, which was then released as kinetic energy as it traveled (motion) across the room. An archer pulling back a bow and coiling a spring are further examples of potential energy.[6]

You bought a balloon for a birthday party in January. It was so cold outside that you ran into the house and forgot the balloon in the car. You go out to the car a few hours later and get the balloon. You noticed that the balloon was a little deflated. Once you brought the balloon into the house, after about 20 minutes, the balloon was back to normal.

Part A: Explain what happened to cause the balloon to deflate and then inflate. Be sure to use unit vocabulary and specific details to support your answer.

Part B: Using the information you provided in Part A, explain what would happen if you left an inflated balloon in the car on a very hot summer day.

Answers

Answer:

Part A: When air is left in specific environments, it can either expand or contract depending in the given environment, so, if left in a cold car for a few hours, the air inside said balloon will contract.

Part B: If left in said car on a very hot summer day, the air in said balloon will expand, and if left in said car long enough, said balloon will explode due to the air inside expanding

B. 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2
C. N2O5 + H2O → HNO3
D. 2Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3

Answers

Answer:

The unbalanced chemical equation is;

C. N₂O₅ + H₂O → HNO₃

Explanation:

In balancing a chemical reaction equation, only the coefficients of the terms of the reactants and/or the products are adjusted (and not the subscripts to the atoms in the compounds) to ensure that the total number of each element is the same on either side of the arrow for the chemical reaction

A coefficient term is the number multiplier of the compounds and elements in a chemical reaction

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation is obtained by changing the coefficient of the product from the implied '1' to a '2' as follows;

N₂O₅ + H₂O → 2HNO₃

The stability of an element's outer (valence) electrons determines its chemical and physical properties. Subatomic particles are particles that are smaller than the atom. Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three main subatomic particles found in an atom. Protons have a positive (+) charge.

What is an atom?

An atom is defined as the smallest unit of matter which forms an element. Every form of matter whether solid,liquid , gas consists of atoms . Each atom has a nucleus which is composed of protons and neutrons and shells in which the electrons revolve.

The protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral and hence the nucleus is positively charged. The electrons which revolve around the nucleus are negatively charged and hence the atom as a whole is neutral and stable due to presence of oppositely charged particles.

Atoms of the same element are similar as they have number of sub- atomic particles which on combination do not alter the chemical properties of the substances.

If we add 20g of salt to 150g of water, what is the concentration by mass of the solution?

Answers

Answer:

11.76% by weight in salt

Explanation:

concentration = mass of solute / mass of solute + mass of solvent

mass of solute = 20 grams

mass of solvent = 150 grams

mass of solute + mass of solvent = 20g + 150g = 170g

concentration (weight %) =  (20g / 170g)100% = 11.76% by weight in salt.

An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons . The positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral . The nucleus of an atom contains protons and electron .

Answers

The mass of lithium hydride that participates in the chemical reaction is 6.35 grams.

How to calculate mass?

The mass of a substance can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles by its molar mass as follows:

mass (g) = no of moles (mol) × molar mass (g/mol)

According to this question, the chemical formula for lithium hydride is LiH. A chemist determined by measurements that 0.0800 moles of lithium hydride participate in a chemical reaction.

Molar mass of LiH = 6.941 + 1 = 7.94g/mol

mass = 0.8mol × 7.94g/mol = 6.35grams

Therefore, 6.35g is the mass of the lithium hydride.
