Can someone please describe surface tension to me. Please don't give me the dictionary definition. Thank you

Surface tension - My definition -

It's exactly what it says - The tension of a surface with a liquid (such as water), caused by the attraction of the surfaces layer ---- I hope this helps ---- I actually did research it and got some of this from a dictionary, but I changed some of it, too.... Sorry if this doesn't help :)

An oxygen atom picks up two additional, free-floating electrons. Is the charge of the newly formed oxygen ion positive, negative
MariettaO [177]

Answer: Negative

Explanation:

An oxygen atom has the chemical symbol O. Its atomic number is 8, with an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p4.

Now, due to the incompletely filled p-orbital, oxygen picks up two additional, free-floating electrons (2e-) to complete its outermost shell. And since each electrons received carries a negative charge, oxygen atom becomes a negatively charged divalent ion, O2-

See the equation below

O + 2e- ---> O2-

Four traveling waves are described by the following equations, where all quantities are measured in SI units and y represents th
agasfer [191]

Answer:

T_1=T_3=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}

T_2=T_4=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}

Explanation:

Wave 1, y_1=0.12\ cos(3x-21t)

Wave 2, y_2=0.15\ sin(6x+42t)

Wave 3, y_3=0.13\ cos(6x+21t)

Wave 4, y_4=-0.27\ sin(3x-42t)

The general equation of travelling wave is given by :

y=A\ cos(kx\pm \omega t)

The value of \omega will remain the same if we take phase difference into account.

For first wave,

\omega_1=21

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_1}=21

T_1=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}

For second wave,

\omega_2=42

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_2}=42

T_2=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}

For the third wave,

\omega_3=21

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_3}=21

T_3=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}

For the fourth wave,

\omega_4=42

\dfrac{2\pi }{T_4}=42

T_4=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}

It is clear from above calculations that waves 1 and 3 have same time period. Also, wave 2 and 4 have same time period. Hence, this is the required solution.

Force F acts between two charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. If q1 is increased to twice its original value and the d
vodka [1.7K]
Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} so if we double the charge on Q_1 and double the distance to (2d) we plug these into the equation to find

<span>F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}</span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be \frac{1}{2}F if I can remember my physics correctly.
