What might happen if water molecules did not have a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other?

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

It would not be possible the cohesion among water molecules by the polar covalent bonding.

Well, to understand this in a better way, let's begin by explaining that water is special due to its properties, which makes this fluid useful for many purposes and for the existence of life.

In this sense, one of the main properties of water is cohesion (molecular cohesion), which is the attraction of molecules to others of the same type. So, water molecule ( $H_{2}O$ ) has 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom and can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds.

How is this possible?

By the polar covalent bonding, a process in which electrons are shared unequally between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements. In other words: slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.

Now, it can be said that a water molecule has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen). This is how the oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together.

During a particular thunderstorm, the electric potential difference between a cloud and the ground is vcloud - vground = 3.50 10

wariber [46]

<span>The change in the electron's potential energy is equal to the work done on the electron by the electric field. The electron's potential energy is the stored energy relative to the electron's position in the electric field. Vcloud - Vground represents the change in Voltage. This voltage quantity is given to be 3.50 x 10^8 V, with the electron at the lower potential. The formula for calculating the change in the electron's potential energy (EPE) is found by charge x (Vcloud - Vground) = (EPEcloud - EPE ground) where charge is constant = 1.6 x 10^-19. Filling in the known quantities results in the expression 1.6 x 10^-19 (3.50 x 10^8) = (EPEcloud - EPEground) = 5.6 x 10^-11. Therefore, the change in the electron's potential energy from cloud to ground is 5.6 x 10^-11 joules.</span>

A spherical shell is rolling without slipping at constant speed on a level floor. What percentage of the shell's total kinetic e

IgorC [24]

Answer:

41.667 per cent of the total kinetic energy is translational kinetic energy.

Explanation:

As the spherical shell is rolling without slipping at constant speed, the system can be considered as conservative due to the absence of non-conservative forces (i.e. drag, friction) and energy equation can be expressed only by the Principle of Energy Conservation, whose total energy is equal to the sum of rotational and translational kinetic energies. That is to say:

$E = K_{t} + K_{r}$

Where:

$E$ - Total energy, measured in joules.

$K_{r}$ - Rotational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$K_{t}$ - Translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

The spherical shell can be considered as a rigid body, since there is no information of any deformation due to the motion. Then, rotational and translational components of kinetic energy are described by the following equations:

Rotational kinetic energy

$K_{r} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot I_{g}\cdot \omega^{2}$

Translational kinetic energy

$K_{t} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}$

Where:

$I_{g}$ - Moment of inertia of the spherical shell with respect to its center of mass, measured in $kg\cdot m^{2}$ .

$\omega$ - Angular speed of the spherical shell, measured in radians per second.

$R$ - Radius of the spherical shell, measured in meters.

After replacing each component and simplifying algebraically, the total energy of the spherical shell is equal to:

$E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (I_{g} + m\cdot R^{2})\cdot \omega^{2}$

In addition, the moment of inertia of a spherical shell is equal to:

$I_{g} = \frac{2}{3}\cdot m\cdot R^{2}$

Then, total energy is reduced to this expression:

$E = \frac{5}{6}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}$

The fraction of the total kinetic energy that is translational in percentage is given by the following expression:

$\%K_{t} = \frac{K_{t}}{E}\times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2} }{\frac{5}{6}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2} } \times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = \frac{5}{12}\times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = 41.667\,\%$

41.667 per cent of the total kinetic energy is translational kinetic energy.
