Answer:

capillary action

Explanation: It is the ability of liquid to flow in narrow spaces against the gravity and is the result of inter-molecular forces between liquid and the surrounding solid surface. This rising is the result of two opposite forces adhesion and cohesion. Capillarity is high when adhesion is more than cohesion.

Would you expect to observe every supernova in our own Galaxy? Why or why not?

Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

Only few supernova are observed in our galaxy -

Type II supernovae ( i.e. the explosions of the massive stars ) occurred in the Milky Way, and they might be hidden by the intervening dust if they are located in the more distant parts of our Galaxy .

Type Ia supernovae , which need a white dwarf star in the binary star system , are brighter than the type II supernovae , but some of them could also happen in the older parts of Galaxy which are hidden due to the buildup of the dust and gas .

At the nose of a missile in flight, the pressure and temperature are 5.6 atm and 850°R, respectively. Calculate the density and

Contact [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the definition of the ideal gas equation, where we will clear the density variable. In turn, the specific volume is the inverse of the density, so once the first term has been completed, we will simply proceed to divide it by 1. According to the definition of 1 atmosphere, this is equivalent in the English system to

$1atm = 2116lb/ft^2$
