Answer:

The molecular structure of water makes water to be a polar compound

Explanation:

A polar compound is a compound that has two poles. In this case, water will have negative and positive poles.

When a water molecule is formed, the two atoms of hydrogen do not just stay any where they like. Rather, they attach to the top of the oxygen atom, like rabbit ears as shown in the attachment below.

The hydrogen atom is positively charged, while the oxygen atom is negatively charged. This gives water its unique polar nature.

The top of the water molecule which has the hydrogen is now positively charged.

The bottom part of the water molecule which has the oxygen atom exposed is negatively charged.

Answer:

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other like when unlike charges attracts. This is called hydrogen bonding.

Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms. The end of the molecule with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged.

An eagle flying at 15 m/s has 600 J of kinetic energy. About how much is the eagles mass?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

5.33kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of eagle = 15m/s

Kinetic energy of the eagle = 600J

Unknown:

Mass of the eagle = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of any body is the energy due to the motion of a body. There are different forms of kinetic energy some of which are thermal, mechanical, electrical energy.

The formula of kinetic energy is given as;

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

where m is the mass, V is the velocity

substitute the parameters in the equation;

600 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x m x 15²

225m = 1200

m = $\frac{1200}{225}$ = 5.33kg

Estimate the wavelength corresponding to maximum emission from each of the following surfaces: the sun, a tungsten filament at 2

igomit [66]

Answer

Applying Wein's displacement

$\lamda_{max}\ T = 2898 \mu_mK$

1) for sun T = 5800 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{5800}$

$\lambda_{max} = 0.5 \mu_m$

2) for tungsten T = 2500 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{2500}$

$\lambda_{max} = 1.16 \mu_m$

3) for heated metal T = 1500 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{1500}$

$\lambda_{max} = 1.93 \mu_m$

4) for human skin T = 305 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{305}$

$\lambda_{max} = 9.50 \mu_m$

5) for cryogenically cooled metal T = 60 K

$\lambda_{max} = \dfrac{2898}{60}$

$\lambda_{max} = 48.3 \mu_m$

range of different spectrum

UV ----0.01-0.4

visible----0.4-0.7

infrared------0.7-100

for sun T = 5800

λ 0.01 0.4 0.7 100

λT 58 2320 4060 5.8 x 10⁵

F 0 0.125 0.491 1

fractions

for UV = 0.125

for visible = 0.441-0.125 = 0.366

for infrared = 1 -0.491 = 0.509

A piano mover raises a 1000-n piano at a constant speed using a very light rope in a frictionless pulley system, as shown in the

Rina8888 [55]

Here As we can see the figure that the end of the rope is pulled by some force F

Now as we can see that Piano is connected by a pulley which is passing over the pulley so effectively net force on the piano upwards will be 2F as it is connected by 2 ropes by the pulley

Now for constant velocity of the piano we will say

$2F - mg = ma$
