Answer:

C. Oil is made of non-polar molecules, and water is made of polar molecules.

Explanation:

Non-polar molecules = hydrophobic (water-fearing, doesn’t readily dissolve in water)

Ions & Polar molecules: hydrophilic (water-loving, does readily dissolve in water)

Two protons in an atomic nucleus are typically separated by a distance of 2 ✕ 10-15 m. The electric repulsion force between the

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric force between the to protons will be 57.536 N.

Explanation:

We can use Coulomb's law to find out the force, in scalar form, will be:

$F \ = \ \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 } \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$ .

Now, making the substitutions

$d \ = \ 2.00 * 10 ^{-15} \ m$ ,

$q_1 = q_2 = 1.60 * 10 ^ {-19} \ C$ ,

$\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=8.99 * 10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2}$ ,

we can find:

$F \ = \ 8.99 * 10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2} \frac{(1.60 * 10 ^ {-19} \ C)^2}{(2.00 * 10 ^{-15} \ m)^2}$ .

$F \ = 57.536 N$ .

Not so big for everyday life, but enormous for subatomic particles.

What force is required to accelerate to 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s?

g100num [7]

Force required to accelerate 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s ?

Mass = 10 kg

Acceleration = 5.9 m/s^2

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Force = 10 kg * 5.9 m/s^2

Force = 59 kg m /s^2 = 59 N

A piano string having a mass per unit length of 5.00 g/m is under a tension of 1350 N. Determine the speed of transverse waves i

padilas [110]

Answer:

The speed of transverse waves in this string is 519.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass per unit length = 5.00 g/m

Tension = 1350 N

We need to calculate the speed of transverse waves in this string

Using formula of speed of the transverse waves

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

Where, $\mu$ = mass per unit length

T = tension

Put the value into the formula

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{1350}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}$

$v =519.61\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of transverse waves in this string is 519.61 m/s.
