C. Oxygen has a different attraction for electrons in H2O than in CO2

the covalent bond between Hydrogen-Oxygen and Carbon-Oxygen is different because the difference of electronegativity (the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself) between Hydrogen and Oxygen is a lot higher than the difference of electronegativity between Carbon and Oxygen. This difference in electronegativity results in separation of partial electric charge creating polar bonds and giving the molecule a polarity.

Suppose a ball is dropped from shoulder height, falls, makes a perfectly elastic collision with the floor, and rebounds to shoul
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:Same magnitude

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from shoulder height h then velocity at the bottom is given by

v_1=\sqrt{2gh}

if it makes elastic collision then it will acquire the same velocity and riser up to the same height

If m is the mass of ball then impulse imparted is given by

J=m(v_2-v_1)

J=2m\sqrt{2gh}

Thus impulse imparted by gravity and Floor will have same magnitude of impulse but direction will be opposite to each other.
