Surfactants, or wetting agents, are chemicals that are used in detergents. These chemicals interfere with hydrogen bonding betwe

en water molecules to allow water to more easily penetrate the small spaces between the fibers in cloth.
If an accident released these substances into a pond, what danger would they most likely pose to living things in the pond?


A)The water in the pond would warm and cool more easily.

B)Plants on the bottom of the lake would die because ice would sink.

C)Insects would have trouble walking on the water.

D)The water would be able to dissolve fewer nutrients.

Why does a dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s?
andrew11 [14]

A dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

s = vt - 1 / 2 at²

s = Displacement

v = Final velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

s = 5 m

t = 1 s

a = 10 m / s²

5 = ( v * 1 ) - ( 1 / 2 * 10 * 1 * 1 )

5 = v - 5

v = 10 m / s

The equation used to solve the given problem is an equation of motion. In a free fall motion, usually air resistance is not considered for easier calculation. If air resistance is considered acceleration cannot be constant throughout the entire motion.

Therefore, a dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

How much charge can be added to each of the plates before a spark jumps between the two plates? For such flat electrodes, assume
Svetach [21]

Answer:

9.56\cdot 10^{-7} C

Explanation:

A parallel-plate capacitors consist of two parallel plates charged with opposite charge.

Since the distance between the plates (1 cm) is very small compared to the side of the plates (19 cm), we can consider these two plates as two infinite sheets of charge.

The electric field between two infinite sheets with opposite charge is:

E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

where

\sigma=\frac{Q}{A} is the surface charge density, where

Q is the charge on the plate

A is the area of the plate

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m is the vacuum permittivity

In this problem:

- The side of one plate is

L = 19 cm = 0.19 m

So the area is

A=L^2=(0.19)^2=0.036m^2

Here we want to find the maximum charge that can be stored on the plates such that the value of the electric field does not overcome:

E=3\cdot 10^6 N/C

Substituting this value into the previous formula and re-arranging it for Q, we find the charge:

E=\frac{Q}{A\epsilon_0}\\Q=EA\epsilon_0 = (3\cdot 10^6)(0.036)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})=9.56\cdot 10^{-7} C

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Static electricity.

Explanation:

Electric Charge; Is the quantity of electricity held in an object

The balloon is electrically neutral, meaning it had an equal amount of positive and negative charges hence it couldn't attract the paper.  

After rubbing the balloon, it gained an electric charge; and after gaining this charge it got the ability to exert a force on the pieces of paper and attract them, This is called static electricity.

Therefore, Static electricity caused the paper to stick to the balloon.

A negatively charged particle is moving to the right, directly above a wire having a current flowing to the right, as shown belo
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the current in the ire is towards right and the charge particle is above the wire, the direction of magnetic field due to the current carrying wire is perpendicularly outwards to the plane of paper. It is calculated by the Maxwell's right hand thumb rule. Now by using the Fleming's left hand rule, the direction of force is upwards.
