A 1.85 kg textbook is sitting on a bookshelf 2.23 m above the floor. How much potential energy does it have?

Explanation:

Potential energy is energy due to position. It is the product of mass, height, and acceleration due to gravity.

The mass of the textbook is 1.85 kilograms. Assuming this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per square second. The height is 2.23 meters.

Substitute the values into the formula.

Multiply the first 2 numbers together.

Multiply again.

The textbook has 40.4299 Joules of potential energy.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

it is the most commonly accepted one
