HELP :). Explain how soaps lower the surface tension of the fats and oils ?

1 answer:

8 0

Soap is a surfactant that contains hydrophobic or water-fearing and hydrophilic or water-loving ends that is used for cleaning dirt. These hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties are what causes the surface tension of the fats and oils to lower.

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at rate of 1.1×10^6 kg/s and falls 49.4 m. How much power is generated by the fallin

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The power generated is = 5.33×10⁸ Watt.

Explanation:

Power: Power can be defined as the time rate of doing work. The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

Mathematically,

Power (P) = Work done/time or Energy/time

P = mgh/t............................... Equation 1

P = δgh............................. Equation 2

Where δ = fall rate, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

Given: δ = 1.1×10⁶ kg/s, h = 49.4 m g = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 2

P = 1.1×10⁶×49.4×9.81

P = 533.08×10⁶

P = 5.33×10⁸ Watt.

Thus the power generated is = 5.33×10⁸ Watt.

A pogo stick has a spring with a force constant of 2.50 × 104 N/m , which can be compressed 11.2 cm. what maximum height, in met

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

h = 36.4 cm

Explanation:

given,

spring constant = 2.5 x 10⁴ N/m

compressed distance = 11.2 cm = 0.112 m

mass of the child = 44 kg

maximum height = ?

by energy of conservation

$K.E_i +P.E_i= K.E_f + P.E_f$

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5 \times 10^4 \times 0.112^2 = 44\times 9.8 \times h$

$156.8 = 44 \times 9.8 \times h$

$h = \dfrac{156.8}{44 \times 9.8}$

h = 0.364 m

h = 36.4 cm

A student has a mass (including clothes and shoes) of 65.0 kg. She drinks a 12 oz. can of soda, with a nutritional energy conten

Stella [2.4K]

She can climb 0.92 m without losing weight.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy consisting of the product of mass, gravity and height.

1 cal = 4184 J

140 cal = 585760 J

Energy = 585760 J, m = 65.0 kg = 65000 g, Efficiency = 20 %

GPE = mgh

where m represents the mass

g represents the gravity,

h represents the height.

585760 = 65000 $\times$ 9.8 $\times$ h

h = 0.92 m.

Help please :pensive:

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

0m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of the boat = 8m/s

Final velocity = 8m/s

Time taken = 4s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the boat = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

A = $\frac{v - u}{t}$

A is the acceleration

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

Insert the parameters and solve;

A = $\frac{8-8}{4}$ = 0m/s²
