For substance to be soluble in other substance, both substances must be either polar or non-polar. Wax/paraffin wax is non-polar and hence it's insoluble in water. Soap is polar as well non-polar hence it is slightly soluble in water.Salt is polar molecule hence highly soluble from all of the above. So option A.) <span>wax, which is made up of atoms that share electrons equally is correct. Hope this helps!</span>

A bus travels north on some busy city streets for 2.5 km, and a trip

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V = 4.63 m/s

V = 11.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance traveled by the bus, towards north, d = 2.5 km

= 2500 m

The time taken by the trip is, t = 9 min

= 540 s

The velocity of the bus,

V = d / t

= 2500 / 540

= 4.63 m/s

At another point, the bus travels at a constant speed of v = 18 m/s

Therefore the velocity becomes

V = (4.63 + 18)/2

= 11.31 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the bus, V = 11.31 m/s

You are designing an optical fiber scope for directing light into a confined area. You want to keep light within the fiber. Base

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

For entry of light into tube of unknown refractive index

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sinr = μ , μ is the refractive index of the tube , r is angle of refraction in the medium of tube

r = 90 - C where C is critical angle between μ and body medium in which tube will be inserted.

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sin( 90 - C) = μ

sin65 / cos C = μ

sinC = 1.33 / μ , where 1.33 is the refractive index of body liquid.

From these equations

sin65 / cos C = 1.33 / sinC

TanC = 1.33 / sin65

TanC = 1.33 / .9063

TanC = 1.4675

C= 56°

sinC = 1.33 / μ

μ = 1.33 / sinC

= 1.33 / sin56

= 1.33 / .829

μ = 1.6 Ans

What is the density of a piece of quartz with a mass of 30g and a volume of 6cm^3

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf d= 5 \ g/cm^3}}$

Explanation:

Density can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.

$d=\frac{m}{v}$

The mass of the quartz is 30 grams and the volume is 6 cubic centimeters.

$m=30 \ g \\v= 6 \ cm^3$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$d=\frac{30 \ g}{6 \ cm^3}$

Divide.

$d= 5 \ g/cm^3$

The density of this piece of quartz is 5 grams per cubic centimeter.

A current of 5 A is flowing in a 20 mH inductor. The energy stored in the magnetic field of this inductor is:_______

Kipish [7]

Answer:

C. 0.25J

Explanation:

Energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is expressed as E = 1/2LI² where;

L is the inductance

I is the current flowing in the inductor

Given parameters

L = 20mH = 20×10^-3H

I = 5A

Required

Energy stored in the magnetic field.

E = 1/2 × 20×10^-3 × 5²

E = 1/2 × 20×10^-3 × 25

E = 10×10^-3 × 25

E = 0.01 × 25

E = 0.25Joules.

Hence the energy stored in the magnetic field of this inductor is 0.25Joules

Sonja [21]

Answer:

L=55.9m

Explanation:

The equation for the period of a simple pendulum is:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

In our case what we know is the period and the acceleration of gravity, and we need to know the length of the pendulum, so we can write:

$L=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2g$

Which for our values is:

$L=(\frac{15s}{2\pi})^2(9.81m/s^2)=55.9m$
