As you may have experienced yourself, water alone will not remove oil from a dirty dish. Why does soap work to remove oil

Physics

Answer:

The combination of the two, water and soap, form bubbles that make a compound capable of removing the oil. The soap lifts the oil and dirt and becomes suspended in the water then we rinse off the soapy water and down goes the oil with it.

Explanation:

Answer:

Soap breaks up the oil into smaller drops, which can mix with the water. It works because soap is made up of molecules with two very different ends (one end of molecules are hydrophilic, so they love water; the other end of molecules is hydrophobic, so they hate water).

What is the process called in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat?
saw5 [17]

The process in which water vapour and carbon dioxide traps heat is called the “greenhouse effect”.

 

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which occurs every day. To illustrate an example of this natural phenomenon, d<span>uring the day the Sun shines through the atmosphere. Earth's surface warms up because of the sunlight. Meanwhile at night in the absence of the sunlight, Earth's surface cools back and releasing the heat back into the air. However some of the heat is retained by the greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapour) in the atmosphere. This process what keeps our planet Earth warm and cozy at an average temperature of 16°C.</span>

A negative charge of - 8.0 x 10^-6 C exerts an attractive force of 12 N on a second charge that is
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

<h2>Magnitude of the second charge is -4.17*10^{-7}C</h2>

Explanation:

According to columbs law;

F = kq1q2/r^{2}

F is the attractive or repulsive force between the charges = 12N

q1 and q2 are the charges

let q1 = - 8.0 x 10^-6 C

q2=?

r is the distance between the charges = 0.050m

k is the coulumbs constant =9*10⁹ kg⋅m³⋅s⁻⁴⋅A⁻²

On substituting the given values

12 = 9*10⁹*( - 8.0 x 10^-6)q2/0.050²

Cross multiplying

0.03=9*10^{9}*  -8.0*10^{-6} q2\\0.03 = -72*10^{3} q2\\q2 = \frac{0.03}{ -72*10^{3}} \\q2 = -4.17*10^{-7}C

Suppose that Lisa walks her dog around the block for a little exercise. The block is 1 mile around. If she walks around the bloc
natita [175]
Displacement only measure how far between the starting and ending point. In this case, Lisa walks around the block as a circle so the starting point is the same as the ending point. Thus, displacement is 0mile.
On the other hand, distance measures exactly how far she walks. In this case, the distance is 1 mile, same as the perimeter of the block.

A satellite’s velocity is 30000m/s. After 60 secs, it’s velocity shows to 15000m/a. What is the satellite’s acceleration?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Acceleration = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2 ( deceleration )

Explanation:

From the first equation of motion:

V = u + at

15000 = 30000 + 60a

a = ( 15000-30000)/60

a = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2

What's the opposite of vaporization
Nesterboy [21]
Condensation. Remember, Vaporization happens when energy is taken in (enfothermic) the opposite will be the process that releases energy ( exothermic) which will be condensation. Put ice in a glass of water. the ice melts, taking in energy from the water in the glass, which in turn takes heat energy away from the vapor in the surrounding air, thus causing the water vapor in the air to condense.
