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.

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).

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

A man on a bicycle of total mass of 10kg has a Velocity of 2 ms.' He Paddles faster for 5 seconds and the velocity Increase to i
sesenic [268]

Answer:

the value of force, F=4.0N

Explanation:

Firstly, recall velocity-time equation

  • v=u+at
  • (4)=(2)+a(5)
  • a=0.4m/s²

Secondly, recall the Newton's 2nd Law

  • <em>F</em><em>=</em><em>ma</em>
  • <em>F</em><em>=</em><em>(</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>)</em><em>(</em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>4</em><em>)</em>
  • <em>F</em><em>=</em><em>4</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>N</em>

Describe the motion represented by a horizontal line on a distance-time graph.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

hi, this is the answer

Explanation:

A horizontal line on a distance-time graph shows no change in distance, therefore there is no motion.

The object is stationary. ...

Constant speed is motion that occurs with the same ratio of distance to time throughout the entire length of the motion.

pls mark this as the brainliest...
