Fudgin [204]3 years ago
4 0

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)

How is Uranus colder than Neptune
STatiana [176]
With Uranus at an average distance of 2.88 billion kilometres from the Sun and Neptune at an average distance of 4.5 billion kilometres it would be very easy to point out which of the gas giants is the coldest, but if you were you were to say that Neptune was the coldest, you’d be wrong.<span>Given that we expect planets further from the Sun to be colder than those closer, this does make Neptune and Uranus quite a mysterious pair. Uranus and Neptune are brimming with volatiles such as water, methane and ammonia and due to their composition in comparison to Jupiter and Saturn, which are comprised mainly of hydrogen and helium, are labelled the ice giants. Scientists have measured how hot Uranus and Neptune should be and have found that Uranus is very cold and very dim</span>

Bats use sound to sense objects by sending out short ultrasound pulses and listening for the echo off the object. A. Sketch the
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

B. t = 0.250s

Explanation:

A. An image with the sketch of the bat emitting a sound, which reflects on a surface and return to the bat is attached below.

B. In order to calculate the time that the pulse emitted by the bat, return to the bat, you first calculate the time that pulse takes to arrive to the object.

You use the following formula:

x=vt      (1)

x: distance to the object = 43m

t: time = ?

v: speed of sound beat = 343 m/s  

You solve the equation (1) for t:

t=\frac{x}{v}=\frac{43m}{343m/s}=0.125s

The time on which the bat hears the echo is twice the value of t, that is:

t'=2(0.125s)=0.250s

The time on which bat heart the echo of its sound, from the moment on which bat emitted it, is 0.250s

A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.599 kg ball is released at a height of 2.18 m above the floor with a speed of 7.05
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

W_{drag} = 4.223\,J

Explanation:

The situation can be described by the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem:

U_{g,A}+K_{A} = U_{g,B} + K_{B} + W_{drag}

The work done on the ball due to drag is:

W_{drag} = (U_{g,A}-U_{g,B})+(K_{A}-K_{B})

W_{drag} = m\cdot g\cdot (h_{A}-h_{B})+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{A}^{2}-v_{B}^{2})

W_{drag} = (0.599\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (2.18\,m-3.10\,m)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.599\,kg)\cdot [(7.05\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(4.19\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}]

W_{drag} = 4.223\,J
