Answer:Simple Covalent substance

Explanation:Simple covalent substance describes a substance that has a low melting point and poor electrical conductivity because:

(1)melting point :For the covalent bond and intermolecular force that are present in a simple covalent substance,energy is needed to break the forces of attraction present. In the simple covalent substance, little energy is needed because the intermolecular forces present are broken because they are weaker compared to the covalent bond present.

Therefore, when simple covalent substance melts,only the intermolecular forces are broken leaving only the covalent bond in the substance.

(2) poor conductivity: for a substance to conduct electricity,it must have charged particles which are free to move to and fro.

But in the simple covalent substance,there are no charged particles that can be separated due to the covalent bond present in simple covalent substance.

How much power does it take to lift 70.0 N to 5.0 m high in 5.00 s?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Power = 70 W

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 70 N

Height, h = 5 m

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the power of the object. We know that,

Power = work done/time

Put all the values,

P=\dfrac{Fd}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{70\times 5}{5}\\\\P=70\ W

So, the required power is 70 W.

Why is an object's density expressed as a relationship between two units?
vfiekz [6]
Probably for kind of the same reason that speed is expressed as a
relationship between two units.  You know, like miles per hour .

I guess the only reason is because no single unit has been invented
to describe density.

The rate of doing work or using energy would always be expressed
as a relationship between two units ... we would say that the rate of
work is "(so many) joules per second".  But the "watt" was invented,
so we can say "(so many) watts" instead.

So I guess you're right.  Density could be simpler to describe
if we only had a unit for it.  Then we wouldn't have to say "(so many)
grams per cubic centimeter".  We would just say "(so many) (new unit)".

Let's try it out:
 
"Uhhh, pardon me Professor . . . I've been working late in the lab,
and I believe I've identified a new substance, hitherto unknown to
the scientific community, and totally unexpected.  In its pure form,
the substance appears to be pink, it smells like butterscotch, and
its density is approximately 27.4 Brianas.  I think it's time we published
these findings ... with your name as lead investigator, of course."

I like it !

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 13 km/s and a frequency of 14 Hz?
Galina-37 [17]
Wavelength = velocity/frequency

wavelength = v/f
v= 13km/s = change this to m/s = 13000m/s
f= 14Hz

wavelength = 13000m/s÷14Hz =928.7 m
