Water is considered a polar molecule because _____.

Mashutka [201]

<span>The question is asking for the reason why water is considered a polar molecule. The correct option is A. Water molecule is a polar molecule because it has one side which is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged. Each molecule of water has two hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom. The slight negative charge near the oxygen atom attract nearby hydrogen atoms from water and the slightly positive charge of the hydrogen atom attract oxygen atom. The attraction set up by these charges are responsible for the polarity of water molecules. </span>

With two identical light bulbs and two identical batteries how would you arrange in order to get the maximum total power to the

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The batteries would be connected in series while the bulbs would be connected in parallel

Explanation:

Power (W) = VI

where V = voltage, I = current and R = resistance

from V = IR , I = V/R

Power (W) now becomes = V (V/R) = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

Power (W) = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

from the above equation, power is directly dependent on voltage, hence the voltage has to be high for the power to be high and the power is also inversely dependent on the resistance (in this case the bulbs which act as the load)

We have to batteries, when batteries are connected in series the total voltage becomes the summation of the two voltages hence giving a higher voltage and when they are connected in parallel their voltage remains the same. Since we want to get higher voltage we will connect the two batteries in series.
we have two bulbs which are the resistance here, from the equation above the power is inversely dependent on the resistance so we would need its value to be minimal. When resistance is connected in series the resistance individual will be added to get the total resistance, hence the total resistance will be high but when the resistors are arranged in parallel you get the total resistance by applying the formula $\frac{R1R2}{R1+R2}$ which will give us a lower resistance. Hence we would connect the bulbs in parallel.

Take note that the power from this connection should not exceed the bulbs power rating so as to avoid damage of the bulbs.

<h2>Weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth is 80.38 pounds</h2>

Explanation:

Given that gravitational force, F, between an object and the Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the object and the center of the Earth.

$F=\frac{k}{r^2}$
