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.

It is rate for any motion to
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

a. stay the same for very long

Explanation:

It is rare for any motion to stay the same for a very long time. The force applied on a body causes changes in the magnitude of motion.

  • For motion to remain constant, there must not be a net force acting on the body
  • All the forces on the body must be balanced.
  • This is very hard to come by.
  • Motion changes very frequently.

The Grand Canyon is 1800 meters deep at its deepest point. A rock is dropped from the rim above this point. Write the height of
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

height of grand canyon is h=1800\ m

Rock is dropped i.e. initial velocity is zero

u=0

Using Equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

h=height

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

here a=acceleration due to gravity

1800=0+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2

t^2=\frac{2\times 1800}{9.8}

t=19.166\ s

PV = nRT, is the a. equation of state of an ideal gas
romanna [79]

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

P = pressure, V = volume, n = # of moles, R = gas constant, T = temperature

Equipartition theorem:

Each degree of freedom that a molecule has adds 0.5kT to its total internal energy where k = Boltzmann's constant and T = temperature

2nd law of thermodynamics:

A set of governing principles that restrict the direction of net heat flow (always hot to cold, heat engines are never 100% efficient, entropy always tends to increase, etc)

Clearly the answer is Choice A

We want to design a cylindrical vacuum capacitor, with a given radius a for the outer cylindrical shell, that will be able to st
anastassius [24]

Solution :

a). Using Gauss's law :

  $E=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0r^2}$  ,    $b    .........(1)

Let $E=E_0,\ r=b$ in equation (1)

Therefore, $Q=4 \pi \epsilon_0b^2E_0$  .............(2)

$V_b-V_a = \int^a_b \vec E. d\vec l$

             $=\int^a_b E \ dx$

            $=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \int^a_b \frac{1}{x^2} \ dx$

            $=\frac{Q(a-b)}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 a b}$  ....................(3)

Therefore, $U=\frac{1}{2}Q \Delta V$

                     $=\frac{1}{2}(4 \pi \epsilon_0 b^2 E_0)\left(\frac{Q(a-b)}{4\pi \epsilon_0 a b}\right)$

                     $=\frac{4 \pi \epsilon_0}{2a} \ E^2_0 b^3(a-b)$  .............(4)

Now differentiating the equation (4) w.r.t. 'b', we get

$b=\frac{3}{4}a$  

Thus the radius for the inner cylinder conductor is $b=\frac{3}{4}a$

b). For the energy storage, substitute the radius in (4), we get

$U = 4 \pi\epsilon_0 \frac{27a^3E^2_0}{512}$

This is the amount of energy stored in the conductor.
