Why does oil not dissolve in water?

Physics
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]2 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)

A force of 55N accelerates a 7.5kg wagon at 5.3 m/s^2 along a road. How large is the frictional force?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

<h2>15.25 N</h2>

Explanation:

       A force of 55\text{ }N is acting on a wagon along the road. The wagon weights 7.5\text{ }kg. Acceleration of the wagon is given as 5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

       Consider the block as the system, the forces acting are Frictional force, Gravitational force, Normal reaction and External force applied by us.

       Gravitational Force and Normal Reaction cancel out each other.

       Net External Force = Mass of system/wagon \times Acceleration of wagon

       F_{ext}-F_{friction}=(7.5\text{ }kg)\times(5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}})=39.75\text{ }N\\55\text{ }N-F_{friction}=39.75\text{ }N\\F_{friction}=15.25\text{ }N

F_{friction} has a negative sign because it opposes the motion of the wagon.

∴ Frictional Force = 15.25 N

A bag of marbles is hanging motionless on a spring scale. What prevents the bag from falling?​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.

If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.
