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.

Answer:

8.89 m/s² west

Explanation:

Assume east is +x. Given:

v₀ = 120 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 13.5 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = a (13.5 s) + 120 m/s

a = -8.89 m/s²

a = 8.89 m/s² west

A 0.4000 kg sample of methanol at 16.0ºC is mixed with 0.4000 kg of water at 85.0ºC. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings,

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

T_finalmix = 59.5 [°C].

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, a thermal balance must be performed, where the heat is transferred from water to methanol, at the end the temperature of the water and methanol must be equal once the thermal balance is achieved.

$Q_{water}=Q_{methanol}$

where:

$Q_{water}=m_{water}*Cp_{water}*(T_{waterinitial}-T_{final})$

mwater = mass of the water = 0.4 [kg]

Cp_water = specific heat of the water = 4180 [J/kg*°C]

T_waterinitial = initial temperature of the water = 85 [°C]

T_finalmix = final temperature of the mix [°C]

$Q_{methanol}=m_{methanol}*Cp_{methanol}*(T_{final}-T_{initialmethanol})$

Now replacing:

$0.4*4180*(85-T_{final})=0.4*2450*(T_{final}-16)\\142120-1672*T_{final}=980*T_{final}-15680\\157800=2652*T_{final}\\T_{final}=59.5[C]$

Zero field spot for opposite unequal charges

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The zero field location has to be on the line running between the two point charges because that's the only place where the field vectors could point in exactly opposite directions. It can't be between the two opposite charges because there the field vectors from both charges point toward the negative charge.
