<span>The question is asking for the reason why water is considered a polar molecule. The correct option is A. Water molecule is a polar molecule because it has one side which is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged. Each molecule of water has two hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom. The slight negative charge near the oxygen atom attract nearby hydrogen atoms from water and the slightly positive charge of the hydrogen atom attract oxygen atom. The attraction set up by these charges are responsible for the polarity of water molecules. </span>

A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, w

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

8.9 g/cm^3

Explanation:

density = mass/volume

volume = length * width * height

volume = (8.4 cm)(5.5 cm)(4.6 cm)

volume = 212.52 cm^3

mass = 1896 g

density = (1896 g)/(212.52 cm^3)

density = 8.9 g/cm^3

Suppose a plot of inverse wavelength vs frequency has slope equal to 0.119, what is the speed of sound traveling in the tube to

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

$m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}$

Now,

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}$

$\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s$

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s

if a stone is projected at an angle of 50 degrees to the horizontal with an initial velocity of 50m/s, what is the vertical comp

Vilka [71]

Answer:

38.3 m/s

Explanation:

To find vertical component of initial velocity, you'd have to use sine ratio:

$\displaystyle{\sin \theta = \dfrac{u_y}{u}}$

$\displaystyle{u_y}$ is vertical component of initial velocity and $\displaystyle{u}$ is initial velocity given which is 50 m/s.

A stone is projected at an angle of 50 degrees so $\displaystyle{\theta}$ = 50°. Substitute in the formula:

$\displaystyle{\sin 50^{\circ} = \dfrac{u_y}{50}}\\\\\displaystyle{50 \sin 50^{\circ} = u_y}\\\\\displaystyle{u_y = 38.3 \ \, \sf{m/s}}$

Therefore, the vertical component of initial velocity is approximately 38.3 m/s
