The answer is Capillary action.        apex

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.

As the temperature of a substance approaches absolute zero, the random motion of the molecules
ehidna [41]
Answer:  Decreases

Explanation:
By definition, absolute zero temperature defines the temperature at which the atoms of a material no longer transmit thermal energy.

Engineering materials can transmit thermal energy at higher temperatures by random molecular motion.
It follows that as the temperature decreases toward absolute zero, random molecular motion decreases.

Why must weight be constant if acceleration is inversely proportional to mass? What’s the effect of the weight?
coldgirl [10]

acceleration equals to the force applied divided by mass

an object moving at a velocity of x carries the force of its mass times its speed.

when you apply a force onto an object, the increase in speed of it would be affected by its mass. Think of it this way: you apply some force onto an iron ball, and apply the same force on a plastic ball (they are of equal volume). Which one moves faster, and which one moves slower? The answer is obvious: the iron ball will accelerate slower and travel slower, while the plastic ball is faster.

The iron ball has a greater mass, so the force which makes it accelerate is deduced more. The plastic ball has a smaller mass, so the force applied is divided by a smaller number.

I hope this helps you a bit.
