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.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

0.0786

Explanation:

zero after the decimal place is not a significant figure since it comes before the real integer "7".

"5 " in ten thousandth place is rounded off to "6" because the next digit is also another "5",

so we get the three sfg 0.0786

A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of − 14.0 nC and 31.0 nC , respecti
allsm [11]

Answer:

The charge on the third object is − 21.7nC

Explanation:

From Gauss's Law

Φ = Q/ε₀

where;

Φ is the total electric flux through the shell = − 533 N⋅m²/C

Q is the total charge Q in the shell = ?

ε₀ is the permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

From this equation; Φ = Q/ε₀

Q = Φ * ε₀ = − 533 * 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

Q =  −4.7 X 10⁻⁹ C = -4.7nC

Q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃

− 4.7nC = − 14.0 nC + 31.0 nC + q₃

− 4.7nC − 17nC = q₃

− 21.7nC = q₃

Therefore, the charge on the third object is − 21.7nC

6. An aircraft is is travelling along a runway at a Velocity of 25m/s in It accelerates at a rate of 4m/s² for a distance of 750
zysi [14]

Answer:

Take-off velocity = v = 81.39[m/s]

Explanation:

We can calculate the takeoff speed easily, using the following kinematic equation.

v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2} +2*a*x

where:

a = acceleration = 4[m/s^2]

x = distance = 750[m]

vi = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]

vf = final velocity

v_{f}=\sqrt{(25)^{2}+(2*4*750) } \\v_{f}=81.39[m/s]
