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.

Blababa [14]

As we know that

$Y = \frac{stress}{strain}$

now plug in all data into this

$1.8\times 10^{10} = \frac{1.68 \times 10^8}{strain}$

$strain = 9.33 \times 10^{-3}$

now from the formula of strain

$strain = \frac{\Delta L}{L}$

$9.33 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{\Delta L}{0.54}$

$\Delta L = 5.04 \times 10^{-3} m$

$\Delta L = 5.04 mm$

As we know that

pressure * area = Force

here we know that

$Area = 3.53 \times 11.6 = 40.95 m^2$

$P = 0.2 atm = 0.2 \times 1.01 \times 10^5 = 2.02\times 10^4 Pa$

now force is given as

$F = 40.95 \times (2.02\times 10^4) = 8.27 \times 10^5 N$

As we know that density of water will vary with the height as given below

$\rho = \frac{\rho_0}{1 - \frac{\Delta P}{B}}$

here we know that

$\Delta P = 2600 atm = 2600 \times 1.01 \times 10^5 = 2.63\times 10^8 Pa$

$B = 2.3 \times 10^9 N/m^2$

now density is given as

$\rho = \frac{1050}{1 - \frac{2.63\times 10^8}{2.3 \times 10^9}}$

$\rho = 1185.3 kg/m^3$

as we know that pressure changes with depth as per following equation

$P = P_o + \rho g h$

here we know that

$P = 3 P_0$

now we will have

$3P_0 = P_0 + \rho g h$

$2P_0 = \rho g h$

$2(1.01 \times 10^5) = 1025 (9.81)(h)$

here we will have

$h = 20.1 m$

so it is 20.1 m below the surface

Here net buoyancy force due to water and oil will balance the weight of the block

so here we will have

$mg = \rho_1V_1g + \rho_2V_2g$

$A(0.0476)979 = 922(A)(0.0476 - x) + 1000(A)(x)$

$46.6 = 43.89 - 922x + 1000x$

$x = 3.48 cm$

so it is 3.48 cm below the interface

A pursuit spacecraft from the planet Tatooine is attempting to catch up with a Trade Federation cruiser. As measured by an obser

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

0.384c

Explanation:

To find the speed of the pursuit ship relative to the cruiser you use the following relativistic equation:

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

u': relative speed

u: speed of the pursuit ship = 0.8c

v: speed of the cruiser = 0.6c

c: speed of light

You replace the values of the parameters to obtain u':

$u'=\frac{0.8c-0.6c}{1-\frac{(0.6c)(0.8c)}{c^2}}=0.384c$

Hence, the relative speed is 0.384c

Which equations represent the relationship between wavelength and frequency for a sounds wave

ioda

Waves can be described using a number of different characteristics of a wave. Wavelength and frequency are two such characteristics. The relationship between wavelength and frequency is that the frequency of a wave multiplied by its wavelength gives the speed of the wave

What happens to the structure of an atom when the atom is ionised?

Phoenix [80]

Answer: Explanation:

If the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons then the atom is uncharged and is electrically neutral. However, atoms can gain or lose electrons: increasing or decreasing the negative charge. Ionisation is the addition or removal of an electron to create an ion. ..Gaining an electron creates a negative ion.
