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.

Answer:

m = 35.98 Kg ≈ 36 Kg

Explanation:

I₀ = 125 kg·m²

R₁ = 1.50 m

ωi = 0.600 rad/s

R₂ = 0.905 m

ωf = 0.800 rad/s

m = ?

We can apply The law of conservation of angular momentum as follows:

Linitial = Lfinal

⇒ Ii*ωi = If*ωf (I)

where

Ii = I₀ + m*R₁² = 125 + m*(1.50)² = 125 + 2.25*m

If = I₀ + m*R₂² = 125 + m*(0.905)² = 125 + 0.819025*m

Now, we using the equation (I) we have

(125 + 2.25*m)*0.600 = (125 + 0.819025*m)*0.800

⇒ m = 35.98 Kg ≈ 36 Kg

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Time, t = 6.34 hours.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

$Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}$
