Why does water have a high surface tension? (2 points) Hydrogen bonding keeps water molecules close together. Water is a liquid

at room temperature. The lengths of the bonds in water molecules can change. Water molecules contain 18 electrons.

Answer: Because water contains hydrogen bonds.

Explanation: Despite being weak bonds, hydrogen bonds cause water to have what is called surface tension. Objects can float on water due to this.

The correct answer is A. Hydrogen bonding keeps water molecules close together.

Explanation:

In physics, surface tension refers to the tension that is created in the surface of liquids as a result of bonds or attraction between particles and that makes the surface layer denser than the rest of the liquid. In the case of water, this occurs due to the bonds created between the hydrogen particles with other particles in water that create a surface that is denser and flexible. This only occurs in the surface while particles in the rest of the liquid do not form these bonds. Considering this, it can be concluded water has a high surface tension because "hydrogen bonding keeps water molecules close together".

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

\omega=0.24\ rad.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of person, m=36\ kg

mass of merry go-round, M=300\ kg

radius of merry go-round, R=2\ m

velocity of the person running, v=4\ m.s^{-1}

<u>We consider merry go-round as a ring:</u>

Now the moment of inertial of the ring is given as,

I=M.R^2

I=300\times 2^2

I=1200\ kg.m^{-2}

<u>Moment of inertia of the person considering as a point mass:</u>

I_p=m.R^2

I_p=36\times 2^2

I_p=144\ kg.m^2

<u>Now according to the conservation of angular momentum:</u>

I.\omega=I_p.\omega_p

where:

\omega = angular velocity of the merry-go-round

\omega_p= angular velocity of the person running

1200\times \omega=144\times \frac{v}{R}

\omega=\frac{144}{1200} \times \frac{4}{2}

\omega=0.24\ rad.s^{-1}

g A wave pulse on a light string encounters a boundary with a heavy string. In other words, the pulse moves from a medium with a
sammy [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

Changing travel medium from one of low density to another of higher density (heavier weight) reduces the speed of the transmitted pulse

Explanation:

The rate of propagation of a wave in a medium is correlated to the properties of the medium. in  a guitar, sound is produced by vibrating the string. The frequency of the produced sound depends on the speed and wavelength of the wave as follows

v = f × λ

The guitar strings, though having equal length, the produce sounds of different frequencies and they also have different linear mass density.

As highlighted, the speed of sound is a function function of the frequency and the frequency produced in a string is related to the linear density

The relation between speed with linear density of a material, or its mass per unit length is

v absolute  = \sqrt{\frac{F_{T} }{\mu} } where

v absolute = The absolute velocity

F_{T} = The horizontal tension on the string

\mu = Mass per unit length of the string = \frac{m}{l} where

m = Mass of the string and

l = Length  of the measured mass of string

There fore the wave propagates more slowly, or slows down when it changes its travel medium from one of lower linear mass density to a different medium having a higher density

The speed of the transmitted pulse reduces in the heavier string

How can a heavy moving van have the same momentum as a small motorcycle?
vladimir1956 [14]
Hello there!

The formula for momentum is p=mv.
p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

The mass of a heavy moving van will be much greater than the mass of a motorcycle, so how can they have the same momentum?

They can have the same momentum if the velocity of the moving van is less than the velocity of the motorcycle, or if the velocity of the motorcycle is greater than the moving van (same thing but differently worded)

Let the mass of the moving van be greater than the mass of the motorcycle by a factor of k. In order for the two to have the same momentum, the velocity of the motorcycle must be greater than the velocity of the moving van by the same factor, k.

Hope this helps! :)
