Which of the following definitions describes a physical hazard?
A) The most commonly thought of hazard in construction. This hazard includes radiation, extreme temperatures, noise, and vibration.
B) These hazards can lead to injuries to the joints or muscles by way of heavy, frequent lifting, repetitive tasks.
C) Can be present in dust, fumes, liquids, solids, mists, vapors, or gases of products used at a site or released during a construction job
D) Microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungus, mold, or viruses that can cause illness.

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) The most commonly thought of hazard in construction. This hazard includes radiation, extreme temperatures, noise, and vibration.
Explanation:
A physical hazard is defined as "A factor within the environment that can harm the body without necessarily touching it."
Vibration and noise are examples of physical hazards.
Physical hazards include but aren't limited to electricity, radiation, pressure, noise, heights and vibration amongst many others.
On a systems development project, Richard needs two programmers. He knows John and Smith were able to create a program in 40 days similar to the one he wants to create on his project. He decides to use 40 days as his estimate. This is an example of what type of estimating?
Richard is using an estimate based on a project very similar to to his own with staff he will be using. Answer A is incorrect because perametric modeling involves using a mathematical model to predict costs, such as dollars per line of code. Answer C is incorrect, although close; if the development project is a common item, such as putting down new flooring, a rule -of-thumb measurement can be used, although it is less accurate. Answer D is incorrect because it is not a form of estimating, but a type of pricing.
The forces of attraction present in between the molecules or atoms or compounds is termed as intermolecular forces.
The molecule HCl is composed of hydrogen and chlorine atom. There is high difference in electronegativities therefore, it is polar in nature. The H end of HCl is permanently slightly positive charge. The Cl end of HCl has a permanent slight negative charge. the "H" in one molecule is attracted to the "Cl" in a neighbor. The intermolecular force is weak compared to a covalent bond. But this dipole-dipole interaction is one of the stronger intermolecular attractions.
It also has hydrogen bonding and dispersion forces.
Dispersion forces are the weakest forces which are present in between all molecules or atoms. Hydrogen bonds are present in molecules having at least one H-A bond where A is the strong electronegative atom (mainly F, Cl and N).
