This is because Water forms Hydrogen bonds whereas Methane only forms dispersion forces.This makes water have stronger intermolecular forces so the answer will be B

THE LENGTH OF A PENDULUM IS (1.5±0.01)m AND THE ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY IS TAKEN AS (9.8±0.1)ms-² calculate the time period
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

  2.4583 ± 0.0207 seconds

Explanation:

The time period of a pendulum is approximately given by the formula ...

  T = 2π√(L/g)

The maximum period will be achieved when length is longest and gravity is smallest:

  Tmax = 2π√(1.51/9.7) ≈ 2.47903 . . . seconds

The minimum period will be achieved for the opposite conditions: minimum length and maximum gravity:

  Tmin = 2π√(1.49/9.9) ≈ 2.43756 . . . seconds

If we want to express the uncertainty using a symmetrical range, we need to find half their sum and half their difference.

  T = (2.47903 +2.43756)/2 ± (2.47903 -2.43756)/2

  T ≈ 2.4583 ± 0.0207 . . . seconds

__

We have about 2+ significant digits in the given parameters, so the time might be rounded to 2.46±0.02 seconds.

Why are there only two elements in the first period of the periodic table?(1 point)
Katen [24]

Answer:

because only two electrons can fit in the first orbit around the nucleus, and each period on the table is organized by number of orbits

A Long Jumber leaves the ground at on
MArishka [77]

Answer:

horizontal velocity vh = 6*cos(30°) = 6*(√3)/2 = 3√3 m/s

initial vertical velocity vv = 6*sin(30°) = 6/2 = 3m/s

Using s = ut + at2/2 for change in vertical distance in time t, with acceleration a (-9.8m/s2) and initial velocity u (vv = 3m/s) we have

0 = 3*t - 9.8*t2/2 or t = 6/9.8 s (ignoring the t = 0 solution, which just represents staying still!).

The horizontal distance in time t is vh*t or 3√3*6/9.8 m

What colour would you see if white light on a magenta t-shirt?
maw [93]

Answer:In Example A, white light (i.e., a mixture of red, green and blue) shines upon a magenta filter. Magenta absorbs its complementary color - green. Thus, green is subtracted from white light.
