Answer:

D. The oxygen side is partially negative because electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Explanation:

The water molecule is polar by the virtue of covalent bonds and the hydrogen bonds within and between its molecule.

The oxygen side is partially negative because the electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Between oxygen and hydrogen that makes up the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative.

An electronegative atom has more affinity for electrons. Since the electrons in the molecule of water is shared between hydrogen and oxygen, the more electronegative specie which is water draws the electron more to itself.

This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen atom.

A 10-cm-long spring is attached to theceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it,the spring stretches to a length of 15 cm.a.Wh

alekssr [168]

(a) 392 N/m

Hook's law states that:

$F=k\Delta x$ (1)

where

F is the force exerted on the spring

k is the spring constant

$\Delta x$ is the stretching/compression of the spring

In this problem:

- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

$F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N$

- The stretching of the spring is

$\Delta x=15 cm-10 cm=5 cm=0.05 m$

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

$k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{19.6 N}{0.05 m}=392 N/m$

(b) 17.5 cm

If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

$F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=29.4 N$

And so, the stretch of the spring is

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{29.4 N}{392 N/m}=0.075 m=7.5 cm$

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

$x_0 = 10 cm$

The final length will be

$x_f = x_0 +\Delta x=10 cm+7.5 cm=17.5 cm$

A passenger train left station A at 6:00 p.m. Moving with the average speed 45 mph, it arrived at station B at 10:00 p.m. A tran

marishachu [46]

<h2>Average speed of transit train is 60 mph</h2>

Explanation:

Average speed of passenger train = 45 mph

Time taken from station A to station B for passenger train = 10:00 - 6:00 = 4 hours

Distance between station A to station B = 45 x 4 = 180 miles.

Time taken from station A to station B for transit train = 4 - 1 = 3 hours

Distance between station A to station B = Average speed of transit train x Time taken from station A to station B for transit train

180 = Average speed of transit train x 3

Average speed of transit train = 60 mph

Average speed of transit train is 60 mph

According to Bernoulli's equation, the pressure in a fluid will tend to decrease if its velocity increases. Assuming that a wind

Pie

Answer:

The pressure drop predicted by Bernoulli's equation for a wind speed of 5 m/s

= 16.125 Pa

Explanation:

The Bernoulli's equation is essentially a law of conservation of energy.

It describes the change in pressure in relation to the changes in kinetic (velocity changes) and potential (elevation changes) energies.

For this question, we assume that the elevation changes are negligible; so, the Bernoulli's equation is reduced to a pressure change term and a change in kinetic energy term.

We also assume that the initial velocity of wind is 0 m/s.

This calculation is presented in the attached images to this solution.

Using the initial conditions of 0.645 Pa pressure drop and a wind speed of 1 m/s, we first calculate the density of our fluid; air.

The density is obtained to be 1.29 kg/m³.

Then, the second part of the question requires us to calculate the pressure drop for a wind speed of 5 m/s.

We then use the same formula, plugging in all the parameters, to calculate the pressure drop to be 16.125 Pa.
