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.

Assume your mass is 60 kg. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How much work against gravity do you do when you climb
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

W=1705.2 J

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m= 60 kg

Acceleration due to gravity ,g= 9.8 m/s²

Height ,h= 2.9 m

As we know that work done by a force given as

W = F . d

F=force

d=Displacement

W=work done by force

Now by putting the values

F= m g (Acting downward  )

d= h  (Upward)

W= m g h    ( work done against the force)

W= 60 x 9.8 x 2.9 J

W=1705.2 J

Therefore the answer will be 1705.2 J.

A sidereal day is the time it takes for
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

B. the stars to come back to the same positions in the sky.

Explanation:

In fact, the solar day is equivalent to more than a rotation, because when the point has turned completely, it is not, as it should, in the same position with respect to the Sun.

The reason for this is that while performing the rotation, the Earth simultaneously moved following its orbit around the Sun.

When the reference point completed its rotation, the Earth already moved almost 2,500,000 km., So that to see the Sun again it will be necessary to turn a little more.

Solar day is more than a rotation. The sidereal or sidereal day, commonly used by astronomers, is also based on the rotation of the Earth; but in this case a distant star is taken as a reference (sidereal comes from the Latin sidus which means "star").
