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).

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you. How much time does it take the light to travel that distance?

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

$t=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.

We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,

speed = distance/time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1609}{3\cdot10^{8}}\\\\=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

So, the required time is $5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s$

Which of the following statements is correct?

Dafna11 [192]

These are the correct solutions:

It is 11 a.m. in the Eastern Time Zone; therefore, it is 8 a.m. in the Pacific Time Zone. (3 hrs behind)

It is 3 p.m. in the Central Time Zone; therefore, 2 p.m. in the Mountain Time Zone. (1 hr behind)

It is 6 p.m. in the Pacific Time Zone; therefore, it is 4 p.m in Hawaii. (2 or 3 hours behind depending on time of year)

It is 6 p.m. in Hawaii; therefore, it is 11 p.m. in the Eastern Time Zone (5 or 6 hours behind depending on time of year).

It is 3 p.m. in Hawaii; therefore, it is 6 p.m. in the Mountain Time Zone (3 or 4 hours behind depending on time of year).
