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.

Assume that the amplifiers on the stage operate at a combined power of 5,000 Watts, and that 80% of this is converted to sound.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

0.04

Explanation:

Fraction of power converted to sound = 80% = 0.08

Fraction incident upon each eardrum onstage = 0.08/2 = 0.04

What caused magnetic fields? What happens If you keep breaking a magnet in two until you reach a single atom?

mote1985 [20]

magnetic materials will produce magnetic field near it

All magnets are made up of small magnet type atoms which are known as domains

These all atoms will align itself so that they all produce strong magnetic field along the axis

this magnetic field will become more strong as more number of atoms are aligned.

Now if we break the magnet into small piece then the magnetic field strength will start decreasing and at the end when only one atom will remain then the magnetic field strength will reduce to the field of one atom only.
