Why does paper become wet intermolecular forces

Physics
1 answer:
mel-nik [20]3 years ago
7 0
From the pulp and paper industry, it is known as bulking state of polymer (swelling of polymer). The paper is made mainly from zellulose, and the zellulose is a amorphous-crystalline polymer. In the water there is restricted intercrystalline swelling, when the macromolecules of zellulose enlarge the distance between each other, and the molecules of water fill this space. As the result, swelled zellulose loses its strength and can be easily teared, so because that. When that water hits the paper, it tears more easily than anything because of those intermolecular forces.

A 3-kg rock falls for 5 sec. What is its speed after falling for 5 sec? Reminder - Acceleration due to gravity, on Earth = 9.8 m
GaryK [48]
Here too when an object is dropped, we know the initial velocity is zero when in free fall. So V =g*t this implies V= 9.8 *5=49m/s..... do you get it?

Explain why pumice floats and why ironwood sinks
almond37 [142]

Answer:

A quick way of describing density is to describe an object as heavy or light for its size. Pumice stone, unlike regular rock, does not sink in water because it has a low density. An ironwood branch is very dense and sinks in water.

Hope that helps. x
