The surface tension of water is 7.28 ✕ 10−2 J/m2 at 20°C. Predict whether the surface tension of octane would be higher or lower

than that of water at the same temperature. Explain your answer.

Explanation:

It is known that octane is a hydrocarbon and London dispersion forces are the main intermolecular forces which are present in it.

Whereas water molecules tend to form hydrogen bonding forces which are actually much stronger than dipole-dipole interactions. This means that more energy is necessary to separate water molecules from one another than to separate octane molecules from one another.

Hence, we can conclude that surface tension of octane is expected to be lower than that of water when the two are considered at the same temperature.

What are the similarities and differences between light and sound waves?
OLga [1]
All waves have an amplitude, wavelength, and frequency.
Amplitude is how far away the wave moves from its resting place. When drawn on a graph, the amplitude is the distance between the upper (crests) and lower (troughs) points and their center on the wave.
Wavelength is the distance two crests or troughs are away from each other.
Frequency is the number of waves produced in a set amount of time. The unit used to measure frequency is Hertz (Hz).
With sound waves, the frequency determines the pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch, and vice versa. So, a bass drum, which has a low pitch, would have a lower frequency than a mosquito's whine, which is very high pitched.
Light waves are actually electromagnetic waves. Their frequency determines what kind of wave they are, whether it's gamma rays, ultraviolet, x-rays, or something else.

Planets A and B have the same size, mass, and direction of travel, but planet A is traveling through space at half the speed of
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

B. You would weigh the same on both planets because their masses and the distance to their centers of gravity are the same.

Explanation:

Given that Planets A and B have the same size, mass.

Let the masses of the planets A and B are m_A and m_B respectively.

As masses are equal, so m_A=m_B\cdots(i).

Similarly, let the radii of the planets A and B are r_A and r_B respectively.

As radii are equal, so r_A=r_B\cdots(ii).

Let my mass is m.

As the weight of any object on the planet is equal to the gravitational force exerted by the planet on the object.

So, my weight on planet A, w_A= \frac {Gm_Am}{r_A^2}

my weight of planet B, w_B=\frac {Gm_Bm}{r_B^2}

By using equations (i) and (ii),

w_B=\frac {Gm_Am}{r_A^2}=w_A.

So, the weight on both planets is the same because their masses and the distance to their centers of gravity are the same.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

Entific findings are useful
Kaylis [27]

That's true.  The give-away is "observation ... in the real world".  That's what "field reports" are.

The part I'm not so sure about is those "entific findings".

A microwave oven uses 1,200 watts. It runs a total of 6 hours during the corse of a week. How much energy does the microwave ove
zzz [600]

Answer:

7.2 kilowatts

Explanation:

Energy= power x time

where:

power = 1,200watts to kilowatts is 1.2kw

time = 6hours

therefore,

energy = 1.2kw x 6hrs

=7.2 kilowatts
