Why must the height of the meniscus in the graduated cylinder match the height of the water in the tub when measuring volume?

Physics

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

First, in order for you to understand, remember the basic concept of meniscus in graduated cylinder.

<em>"The meniscus is the curve seen at the top of a liquid in response to its container. The meniscus can be either concave or convex, depending on the surface tension of the liquid and its adhesion to the wall of the container".</em>

Now, according to this definition, and for water, the reading of the volume must be donde at the bottom of the curve of the meniscus. This is because the water  gives a concave curve.

If you read it and matches the height of water, you are getting two results:

One, get an accurate value or volume, because it's been done at eye level.

The second fact is that when you do the reading this way, The total pressure is made equal to the atmospheric pressure by adjusting the height of the cylinder until the water level is equal.

Im going to tell you what to do but not the result. So pay close attention: the first thing you need to do is convert miles/h to m/s. Then for the part a) <span>divide the final velocity by the initial velocity. That will give you the amount of it will take to accelerate to the final velocity.Now for the part b you </span>use the formula v=vo+at. I hope this can help you

Effects of the earths orbit around the sun

<h3><u>Effects of the earths orbit around the sun:</u></h3>

The earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, Johannes Kepler, a "German mathematician, and astronomer" described this elliptical orbit first. The orbit is close to being a circle but not a circle. Earth orbiting the sun mainly effects on seasons on earth.

Earth's four seasons are determined when Earth is tilted 23.4 degrees on the vertical axis, which is called as “axial tilt”. When a "southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun", it experiences summer and northern hemisphere experiences winter, exactly opposite happens when northern hemisphere tilts towards Sun and this climate change goes on in all countries.

The wheel on an upside-down bicycle moves through 18.0 rad in 5.39 s. What is the wheel’s angular acceleration if its initial an
Elden [556K]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate angular acceleration is as follows.

   \Delta (\theta) = \frac{1}{2} \alpha \Delta t^{2} + \omega_{1} \Delta t

or,      \alpha = \frac{2(\Delta (\theta) - \omega_{1} \Delta t)}{\Delta t^{2}}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

    \alpha = \frac{2(\Delta (\theta) - \omega_{1} \Delta t)}{\Delta t^{2}}

                = \frac{2(18.0 rad - 2.5 rad/s \times 5.30 s)}{(5.39)^{2}}    

                = 0.326 rad/s^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the wheel’s angular acceleration if its initial angular speed is 2.5 rad/s is 0.326 rad/s^{2}.
