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.

A mass of M-kg rests on a frictionless ramp inclined at 30°. A string with a linear mass density of μ=0.025" kg/m" is attached t
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

44.3 m/s

Explanation:

a) Draw a free body diagram of the mass M.  There are three forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the ramp,

and tension force T pulling parallel up the ramp.

Sum of forces in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

T − Mg sin 30° = 0

T = Mg sin 30°

T = Mg / 2

Draw a free body diagram of the hanging mass m.  There are two forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

and tension force T pulling up.

Sum of forces in the vertical direction:

∑F = ma

T − mg = 0

T = mg

Substitute:

mg = Mg / 2

m = M / 2

M = 2m

b) Velocity of a standing wave in a string is:

v = √(T / μ)

T = mg, and m = 5 kg, so T = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 49 N.  Therefore:

v = √(49 N / 0.025 kg/m)

v = 44.3 m/s

A ship sets out to sail to a point 120 km due north. an unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 100 km due east of its starti
Pavel [41]
If you draw the problem, it would look like that shown in the attached picture. The total length the ship will now travel can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem. The solution is as follows:

d = √(120)²+(100)²
d = 156.2 km

So, the ship will have to travel 156.2 km to the northwest direction.

HURRY PEASE what happens to current when there is a diode on the circuit and why?
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The current can't 'split down the parallel branch, because the diode is reverse biased so is blocking the flow of current. So basically it's acting as an open circuit. Also when the current flows it wouldn't reduce the currents amount flow through the resistor.
