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 equal-magnitude forces are applied to a door at the doorknob. The first force is applied perpendicular to the door, and the

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

in first case the torque is maximum.

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance.

τ = F x d x Sinθ

In case A: the angle between force vector and the distance vector is 90 so torque is

τ = F x d

In case B: the angle between force vector and the distance is 30°.

τ = F x d x Sin30

τ = 0.5 Fd

So the torque is maximum in first case.

What is the predicted result when two different materials of equal mass absorb the same amount of energy by heat flow?

Ludmilka [50]

The correct is D.

Explanation: The specific heat is defined as heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree. Greater the specific heat, more is the heat required to raise the temperature for equal mass. So, the temperature of the material with lowest specific heat will increase the most for the same amount of heat energy.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

2.7km

Explanation:

Two methods: Convert km/hour to km/minutes or convert 3/2 minutes to hours.

Then multiply time to get the distance of the car traveled.

You need to determine the density of a ceramic statue. If you suspend it from a spring scale, the scale reads 28.4 NN . If you t

shtirl [24]

Answer:

2491.23 kg/m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = weight of object in air/ upthrust in water = density of the object/density of water

⇒ W/U = D/D' ....................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the ceramic statue, U = upthrust of the ceramic statue in water, D = density of the ceramic statue, D' = density of water.

Making D the subject of the equation,

D = D'(W/U).................... Equation 2

Given: W = 28.4 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air- weight in water

U = 28.4 - 17.0 = 11.4 N,

Constant: D' = 1000 kg/m³.

Substitute into equation 2,

D = 100(28.4/11.4)

D = 2491.23 kg/m³

Hence the density of the ceramic statue = 2491.23 kg/m³
