Rubbing water (isopropyl alcohol) has lesser surface tension than that water.

Water possesses a surface tension of 72 dynes/cm.

Whereas rubbing alcohol has a surface tension of 23 dynes/cm.

<h3>what is surface tension?</h3>

Surface tension is the propensity of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink to the smallest possible surface area.

Because the atoms on the outside of the molecules (often hydrogens) lack strong hydrogen bonding capabilities, most organic liquids have very low surface tensions. Because isopropanol contains just 28%, OH and the remainder is CH or CH3, the linkages that hold a droplet together are few and far between.

The only substance with a higher surface tension than water is liquid mercury (450 dyne/cm).

Can some answer 7 a and b please

Answer:

a.After $15$ second Mr Comer's speed $=$ $1.7 m/s$

b.Distance travelled by Mr.Comer in $15$ seconds $=$ $18.75\ m$

Explanation:

a. Lets recall our first equation of motion $V_{f} =V_{i} + at$

Now we know that $V_{i} = 0.8m/s$ , $a = 0.06\ m/s^2$ and

$t = 15 \ sec$

Plugging the values we have.

$V_{f} =V_{i} + at$

$V_{f} =0.8 + 0.06 \times 15$

$V_{f} =0.8+ 0.9$

$V_{f} =1.7 m/s$

Then Mr.Comer's speed after $15$ sec $=$ $1.7ms^-1$

b.

Lets find the distance and recall our third equation of motion.

$V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2 = 2as$

So $s =$ distance covered.

Dividing both sides with 2a we have.

$\frac{V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2}{2a} = 2as$

Plugging the values.

$\frac{(1.7)^2-(0.8)^2}{2\times0.06} = 2as$

$s= 18.75\ m$

So Mr.Comer will travel a distance of $s= 18.75\ m$ .
