Answer:

Explanation:

They play a very important part. The geometry is not a straight line. It is an angle over 90 which means that the molecule has the same general shape as a boomerang. The two hydrogens and the 2 lone electron pairs try to get away as far as possible from each other. The actual shape results in a tetrahedron shape. But the two hydrogens and 1 oxygen actually look like the aforementioned boomerang.

How much work is required to lift a 0.500 kg block 18.5 m?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Work = 90.65 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 0.500 Kg

Distance = 18.5 m

Work done = ?

Solution:

Work = force . distance

Force = mg

Work = mg.distance

Work = mgh

Work = 0.500 Kg × 9.8 m/s²× 18.5 m

Work = 90.65 Kg .m²/s²

Kg .m²/s² = j

Work = 90.65 j
