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.

A truck traveling at a constant speed of 28 m/s passes a more slowly moving car. The instant the truck passes the car, the car b

choli [55]

Answer:

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

Explanation:

given,

constant speed of truck = 28 m/s

acceleration of car = 1.2 m/s²

passes the truck in 545 m

speed of the car when it just pass the truck = ?

time taken by the truck to travel 545 m

time = $\dfrac{distance}{speed}$

time = $\dfrac{545}{28}$

time =19.46 s

velocity of the car when it crosses the truck

$S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$545= u\times 19.46 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times 19.46^2$

u = 16.33 m/s

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80 min. Silver contains 5.8 x 10- free electrons per cubic meter

kifflom [539]

Answer:

a). 87.5 mA or $87.5 x10^{-3}$ A

b). 1.78 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

$d=2.6 mm \\Q=420C\\t=80min\\n=5.8x10^{28} \\q=1.6x10^{-19}$

n the number of free electrons is 28 in text reference and if they don't give q is take as the charge of electron.

a).

$I=\frac{Q}{t}\\ I= \frac{420 C}{80 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s} =\frac{420 C}{4800s}\\ I=87.5 x10^{-3}$ A

b).

$I=n*abs (q)*V_{d}*A$

$A= \pi * (\frac{d}{2})^{2} \\A=\pi (*\frac{2.6x10^{-3} m}{2})^{2} \\A=5.309x10^{-6}$

$V_{d} =\frac{I}{n*abs(q)*A} \\V_{d}=\frac{87.5 x10^{-2} }{5.8x^10{28} *1.6x^{-19} *5.3x^{6} }\\V_{d}=1.78 \frac{m}{s}$

How does water get to the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity

alexira [117]

Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.

What does frequency describe?

ddd [48]

The whole definition of frequency is: How often something happens.

Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.

One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.

"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent". That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.

Some other examples:

Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .

Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .

Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.

(If it's something per second, then we call it "Hertz". That's not for the car rental company. It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist. He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)

Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.

Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day

Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .
