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.

Two small charged spheres are located on the y-axis. One is at y = 1.00 m, the other is at y = −1.00 m, and they both have a cha

yuradex [85]

Answer:

(a) 23.946 kV

(b) -0.077 J

Explanation:

(a) The electric potential is given by the following formula:

$V=k\frac{q_1}{r_1}+k\frac{q_2}{r_2}$ (1)

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

q1 = q2 = 1.60*10^{-6}C

r1 and r2 are the distance from the charges to the point in which electric potential is evaluated.

Firs, you calculate the distance r1 and r2 by taking into account the position of the charges

$r_1=\sqrt{(1.00)^2+(0.670)^2}m=1.20m\\\\r_2=\sqrt{(-1.00)^2+(0.670)^2}m=1.20m$

Next, you replace the values of the parameters to calculate V:

$V=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{1.6*10^{-6}C}{1.20m}+(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{1.6*10^{-6}C}{1.20m}\\\\V=23946.66\ V=23.946\ kV$

(b) The potential electric energy is given by:

$U_T=U_{1,2}+U_{1,3}+U_{2,3}\\\\U_T=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}+k\frac{q_1q_3}{r_{1,3}}+k\frac{q_2q_3}{r_{2,3}}\\\\r_{1,2}=2.00m\\\\r_{1,3}=1.20m\\\\r_{2,3}=1.20m\\\\U_T=(8.98*10^9)[\frac{(1.6*10^{-6})^2}{2.00m}+\frac{(1.6*10^{-6})(-3.70*10^{-6})}{1.20}+\frac{(1.6*10^{-6})(-3.70*10^{-6})}{1.20}]J\\\\U_T=-0.077J$

A ball is thrown upward. The total time the ball remains in the air is 14 s. a) With what speed was the ball thrown upward? b) W

wolverine [178]

Answer:

a) Vi = 137.2 m/s

b) h = 960.4 m

Explanation:

In order to find the initial speed we will use first equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + gt

where,

Vf = Final velocity = 0 m/s (since ball stops at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

g = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign for upward moyion)

t = time interval = 14 s

Therefore,

0 m/s = Vi + (-9.8 m/s²)(14 s)

Vi = 137.2 m/s

Now, we use second equation of motion to find height (h):

h = Vi t + (1/2)gt²

h = (137.2 m/s)(14 s) + (1/2)(-9.8 m/s²)(14 s)²

h = 1920.8 m - 960.4 m

h = 960.4 m
