Which term describes a substance that has a low melting point and poor electrical conductivity?

Physics

densk [106]2 years ago

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.

A snail crawls at a speed of 0.0004 m/s. How long will ot take to climb a garden stick 1.6m high?​
tekilochka [14]

4000 seconds

Explanation:

speed = distance / time

0.0004m/s = 1.6m / time

Subject time

time = 1.6 / 0.0004

time = 4000 seconds.

Hope this helps. Mark as brainliest if possible. tks

A heavy rope, 80 ft long and weighing 32 lbs, hangs over the edge of a building 100 ft high. how much work w is done in pulling
allochka39001 [22]
The first thing you should know for this case is that work is defined as the product of force by the distance traveled in the direction of force.
 We have then:
 W = Fd
 The distance varies, so we must integrate:
 from 0 to 20:
 W = ∫F (x) dx
 W = ∫32xdx
 W = 32∫xdx
 W = 32 (x ^ 2/2) = (16) (20 ^ 2) = 6400 ft * lbs
 answer:
 6400 ft * lbs is work done pulling the rope up 20 ft

sergij07 [2.7K]

Explanation:

m = kg. v=m/s. g=m/s^2. h= m

>>1/2mv^2=mgh

>>1/2mv^2=mgh>> kg*(m/s)^2= kg*m/s^2*m

>>1/2mv^2=mgh>> kg*(m/s)^2= kg*m/s^2*m>>kg m^2/s^2=kg m^2/s^2 the fraction 1/2 won't be able to make any changes to to the dimensional expression of energy i.e half of energy is still energy therefore you can neglect the number .

<u>>>kg m^2/s^2=kg m^2/s^2</u><u> </u>

<u>></u><u>></u><u>J</u>= J
