Even though water is a liquid, some insects are able to stand on its surface due to water's high surface tension. Unbalanced for

ces pull the water molecules inward which causes the surface of the liquid to have properties similar to that of a stretched elastic membrane. What is responsible for the unbalanced forces in water?
A. ionic bonds
B. a neutral pH
C. hydrogen bonds

The answer is letter C. hydrogen bonds. Surface tension in water, which makes water form drops and causes the surface to form a curve above the mouth of a container, results from the water molecules being strongly held by H bonds to those water molecules beside and beneath them. The cohesion among water molecules and the adhesion of water to other materials like rock and soil make capillarity possible.

A cheetah can run 112km/h over a 100-m distance. what is this speed in meters per second
Naya [18.7K]
First convert the 112 km/hr ratio into m/s (meters per second). To do this you multiply 112 km with 1000 m/km (since there's 1000 m in one km). You get 112000 m. Then multiply 1 hr with 60 min/hr (since there's 60 min in one hr. You get 60 min, but you want seconds, so multiply 60 min with 60 s/min to get 3600 s. There you go! Your answer is the speed of 112000m/3600s, but you can simplify that to 31.11m/s (since the answer should be in ? meters per 1 second.

Also, the "100-m-distance" part of the question is just to throw you off, because one particular speed obviously stays constant over any distance. Hope that helps :)
