The vapor pressure of a liquid is a measure of how much vapor of a liquid sits in the air above the liquid in a closed container

. So, for example, a steam room has a very high vapor pressure of water. Do you think a substance that has weaker forces between molecules would in general have a greater or lesser vapor pressure than a substance with stronger forces between the molecules? For example, compare isopropyl alcohol and water.

Answer: When the isopropyl alcohol was boiled, it quickly boiled away. The water ALSO boiled away, but the alcohol was quicker. Isopropyl alcohol had a high vapor pressure because it boiled away very fast, and isopropyl alcohol had strong forces between its molecules (seen with the surface tension experiment.) The water boiled away slower, and had weaker forces between its molecules. So, the stronger the forces, the higher the vapor pressure

The upward force on an airplane's wing is thrust.
kompoz [17]

No.  'Thrust' is what most people in aviation call the force
that pushes the aircraft forward. 

The same people generally call the upward force on the wing "lift".

a ray of light incident on a mirror, at an angle of 45°. Another mirror is placed at an angle of 45° to the first ones as shown.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

If the ray of light is deflected by 45 degrees by the first mirror its total deflection by mirror (I) is 90 deg. (incident = 45 and exit ray equals 45 deg)

The second mirror will cause a net deflection of 90 degrees and the total deflection will be 180 deg or in opposite  direction to the  incident ray.

Which of the following are ohmic materials? a. Batteries Wires Resistors Light bulb filaments b. Batteries, wires, resistors, an
Bingel [31]

Answer:

A., B., and C.

Explanation:

An Ohmic material is a material that obeys Ohm's Law, V = IR.

In contrast, a non-Ohmic material is one that does not obey Ohm's law.

Ohm's law states that the voltage across an electrical object is proportional to the current flowing through it, with the constant of proportionality being Resistance, R (in Ohm's).

The only Non-Ohmic material is the semiconductor, as semiconductors do not obey Ohm's law.

How much time will elapse between seeing and hearing an event?
julia-pushkina [17]

Depends on how far away the event is and what the temperature is as this affects the speed of sound.

For example, let's say you're 600 meters away and the temperature has no affect.

The speed of sound would be roughly 340 m/s so the time it would take to hear the sound would be 600/340 = 1.76 seconds

The speed of light (c) is 3.0 X 10^8 m/s so the time it would take to see the event would be 600/3 X 10^8 = 2 X 10^-7

Subtract: 1.76 - (2 X 10^-7) = approx. 1.76
