Which best describes why water has relatively high surface tension?

Physics
2 answers:
Bas_tet [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Water has a high surface tension because the water molecules on the surface are pulled together by strong hydrogen bonds. That means a drop of water will "want" to have the smallest possible surface area.

It is due to surface tension that makes water seem to be behave as if it covered by an elastic skin

Explanation: Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tension allows insects, usually denser than water, to float and slide on a water surface

Water molecules have a bent shape, which prevents them from packing together. Water molecules are attracted to each other due to hydrogen bonding.

A physical system that is isolated from its environment is:
kompoz [17]

Closed

Explanation:

A physical system that is isolated from its environment is said to be a closed system.

In a closed system, energy can be exchange but matter cannot be exchanged.

  • A closed system sightly permits the only certain types of exchange.
  • These systems are usually used to control and limit the impact of the environment on a system.
  • Experiments can be conducted on the premises of any the interactions.

Gate-control theory

<h3>What is Gate-control theory?</h3>

According to the Gate Control Theory of Pain, the spinal cord has a system that allows pain signals to be amplified in the brain before being processed at the spinal cord itself, or attenuated there. 

The mechanism that allows or prevents the passage of pain signals is known as the gate. The gate may be open or it may be closed, one of two possibilities: 

  • When the gate is open, pain signals can enter and are delivered to the brain, where they are perceived as pain.
  • If the gate is closed, pain signals will be prevented from ascending to the brain and won't be felt.

The administration of a non-noxious (soothing or light rubbing) stimulus can help engage the gate control mechanism and alleviate pain in those who are exposed to painful (noxious) stimuli.

A pyrotechnical releases a 3 kg firecracker from rest. at t=0.4 s, the firecracker is moving downward with a speed 4 m/s. At the
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

a) F = 30 N, b)   I = 12 N s , c)  I = -12 N s , d) ΔI = 0 N s

Explanation:

This exercise is a case at the moment, let's define the system formed by the firecracker and its two parts, in this case the forces during the explosion are internal and the moment is conserved

Initial, before the explosion

     p₀ = m v

The speed can be found by kinematics

     v = v₀ - g t

     v = 0 - 10 0.4

     v = -4.0 m / s

Final after division

     pf = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    p₀ = pf

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

Where M is the initial mass (M = 3 kg), m₁ is the mass mtop (m₁ = 1 kg) and m₂ in the mass m botton (m₂ = 2kg) and the piece that moves up (v₁f = 6m/s )

a) before the explosion the only force acting on the body is gravity

     F = mg

     F = 3 10 = 30 N

b) The expression for momentum is

     I = Ft

Before the explosion the only force that acts is the weight

    I = mg t

    I = 3 10 0.4

    I = 12 N s

c) To calculate this part we use the conservation of the moment and calculate the speed of the body that descends body 2

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    v₂f = (M v - m₁ v₁f) / m₂

    v₂f = (3 (-4) - 1 6) / 2

   v₂f = - 9 m / 2

The negative sign indicates that body 2 (botton) is descending

Now we can use the momentum and momentum relationship for the body during the explosion

    I = F t = Dp

   F t = pf –po)

   F t= [m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f]

   

   I = [1 6 + 2 (-9) -0]

   I = -12 N s

This is the impulse during the explosion the negative sign indicates that it is headed down

d) impulse change

I₀ = Mv

I₀ = 3 *4

I₀ =-12 N s

 ΔI =If – I₀  

ΔI = - 12 – (-12)

ΔI = -0 N s

Why do the noble gases and some other elements on the right side of the periodic table occur as gases instead of solids as do th
mash [69]

Explanation:

The left side of the periodic table has elements that have less number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements loose electrons easily.These elements appear as metals or metalloids in nature.These are hard solids.Their inter molecular forces are very strong.

The right side of the periodic table has elements that have more number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements gain electrons easily.These elements appear as non metals most of which are gases.Their inter molecular forces are weak.

Convert 7.93 lbs into grams. Hint: 1 kg = 2.2 lbs
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

7.93 lbs is equal to 3596.987 grams.

Explanation:

The weight in grams is equal to the pounds multiplied by 453.59237.

So... you would multiply 7.93 by 453.59237.

7.93 x 453.59237 = 3596.987

Hope that helped!
