Surface tension _____.

Physics
1 answer:
Trava [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer : The correct option is, (D) Surface tension is caused by cohesion between water molecules on the surface.

Explanation :

Surface tension : It is caused by the cohesion between water molecules on the surface or we can say that it is a tension of the surface of liquid caused by the attraction of the particles which are present on the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area.

And due to the surface tension phenomena the shape of the water molecule tend to assume a spherical shape to attain the minimum surface area.

Hence. the correct option is, (D) Surface tension is caused by cohesion between water molecules on the surface.

Some superconductors are capable of carrying a very large quantity of current. If the measured current is 1.00 ´ 105 A, how many
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 1 \times 10^{5} A

Charge of electron e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Time t = 1 sec

From the formula of current,

Current is the number of charges flowing per unit time.

   I = \frac{ne}{t}

Where n = number of charges means in our case number of electrons

   n = \frac{It}{e}

   n = \frac{1 \times 10^{5} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19} }

   n = 6.25 \times 10^{23}

Therefore, 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting. A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchan
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Explanation:

As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.

This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.

This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.

This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.

More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

4.5 m/s

Explanation:

The rock must barely clear the shelf below, this means that the horizontal distance covered must be

d_x = 5 m

while the vertical distance covered must be

d_y = 6 m

The rock is thrown horizontally with velocity v_x, so we can rewrite the horizontal distance as

d_x = v_x t

where t is the time of flight. Re-arranging the equation,

t=\frac{d_x}{v_x} (1)

The vertical distance covered instead is

d_y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where we omit the term ut since the initial vertical velocity is zero. From this equation,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d_y}{g}} (2)

Equating (1) and (2), we can solve the equation to find v_x:

\frac{d_x}{v_x}=\sqrt{\frac{2d_y}{g}}\\\frac{d_x^2}{v_x^2}=\frac{2d_y}{g}\\v_x = d_x \sqrt{\frac{g}{2d_y}}=5\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{2(6)}}=4.5 m/s
