Why does surface water disperse when touched with soap?

The end of the detergent molecule which attaches to fat (grease) repels water molecules. It is known as hydrophobic, meaning "water fearing." By attempting to move away from the water molecules, the hydrophobic ends of the detergent molecules push up to the surface. This weakens the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules together at the surface. The result is a break in the surface tension of the water.

Answer:

In a soap-and-water solution the hydrophobic (greasy) ends of the soap molecule do not want to be in the liquid at all. Those that find their way to the surface squeeze their way between the surface water molecules, pushing their hydrophobic ends out of the water. This separates the water molecules from each other.

anastassius [24]

The cart that has the smallest mass of sports equipment in it
has the greatest change in speed.  We know this from Newton's
second law of motion ...

                      Force = (mass) x (acceleration).

If several objects have the same force acting on them, then the one
with the smallest mass has the greatest acceleration.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

A) is repelled by the sphere.

Explanation:

When a charged insulated rod is touched with an insulated conducting sphere , some  charge on the rod gets transferred to the sphere . So they become similarly charged . We all know that there is repulsion when two similarly charged object are brought near to each other . Hence here too there will be repulsion between the rod and the sphere when the rod is brought near the sphere.
