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

Physics
1 answer:
galben [10]3 years ago

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.

A playground merry-go-round has radius 2.10m and moment of inertia 2500kg*m^2 about a vertical axle through its center, and it t
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer

Radius of the wheel r = 2.1 m

Moment of inertia I = 2500 Kg m²

Tangential force applied F = 18 N

Time interval t = 16 s

Initial angular speed ω1 = 0

Final angular speed ω2 = ?

Let α be the angular acceleration.

Torque applied τ = Iα

                         F r = Iα

Angular acceleration α = F r/I

                                    = \dfrac{18\times 2.1}{2500}

                                    = 0.015 rad/s²

(a)From rotational kinematic relation

            Final angular speed ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

                                                 = 0 + (0.015 rad/s^2 * 16 s)

                                                 = 0.24 rad/s

(b) Work done W = 0.5 Iω₂² - (1/2)Iω₁²

                      = 0.5*( 2500 Kg m²)(0.24 rad/s)^2 - 0

                      =  72 J

(c) Average power supplied by the child P = W/t = \dfrac{72}{16}

                                                                        = 4.5 watt

100 POINTS! PLEASE HELP!
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

By the information given, I am not sure how the event has played out. However, using common knowledge, I can give a scenario of how it may play out.

When removing the first block (the foundation), gravity will pull the other blocks down, as the strength of gravity exceeds that of the strength of air holding it up. This means that all the blocks on top would fall.

By definition of Newton's 1st - 3rd laws, the blocks would not move unless a force is given to it (i.e., removing the bottom block, which causes gravity). Gravity would pull the other blocks downwards. This would lead to the falling of the stack of blocks.
