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.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

3125 N

Explanation:

diameter /2 =radius

so r1 =14cm , r2 =35cm

f1/A1 =f2/A2.

f2 = f1 × A2 / A1

=500×1225 pi cm² / 96 pi cm²

f2 =3125N

Exposure to the Sun's harmful infrared radiation should be kept to a minimum.
zysi [14]

Of course! If it's harmful, then your exposure to it should be kept
to a minimum.  That's a no-brainer.  But the sun's infrared radiation
is generally less harmful than its ultraviolet radiation is.

How much heat is needed to boil 120 kg of water ?
nekit [7.7K]
Q = mc<span>∆t, where:
q = energy flow
m = mass, 120 000 g
c = specific heat capacity, 4.81 J/gC
</span><span>∆t = change in temperature, ~75 (100 - 25, which is room temperature)

Substituting in the values, we get:
q = 120000 x 4.81 x 75 = 43290000 Joules = 43.29 MJ

Hope I helped!! xx
