What is demonstrated by water moving up a straw?

2 answers:

8 0

<span>The answer is C: water is drawn up a straw by cohesion and adhesion. Water molecules stick to one another and the walls of the straw, just like in a capillary.
Cohesion is the attractive force between like materials (between water
molecules).
Adhesion is the attractive force between twounlike materials (such as between
water and a solid container).
Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise innarrow tubes or small openings as a result of adhesion and cohesion.
The liquid water molecules bind to the straw—a process known as adhesion. In the narrow space of the straw, the interaction of cohesion and adhesion causes theliquid to be drawn upward in the straw.</span>

Describe the principle of conversation of energy:

exis [7]

Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another

Explanation:

The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.

Practical examples include:

- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy

- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy

- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc

You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.27 meters above the ground. later, an acorn f

Alexandra [31]

The acorn was at a height of <u>4.15 m</u> from the ground before it drops.

The acorn takes a time t to fall through a distance h₁, which is the length of the scale. When the acorn reaches the top of the scale, its velocity is u.

Calculate the speed of the acorn at the top of the scale, using the equation of motion,

$s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2$

Since the acorn falls freely under gravity, its acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity g.

Substitute 2.27 m for s (=h₁), 0.301 s for t and 9.8 m/s² for a (=g).

$s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2\\ (2.27 m)=u(0.301s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^2)(0.301s)^2\\ u=\frac{1.8261m}{0.301s} =6.067m/s$

If the acorn starts from rest and reaches a speed of 6.067 m/s at the top of the scale, it would have fallen a distance h₂ to achieve this speed.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Substitute 6.067 m/s for v, 0 m/s for u, 9.8 m/s² for a (=g) and h₂ for s.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ (6.067m/s)^2=(0m/s)^2+2(9.8m/s^2)h_2\\ h_2=\frac{(6.067m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =1.878 m$

The height h above the ground at which the acorn was is given by,

$h=h_1+h_2=(2.27 m)+(1.878 m)=4.148 m$

The acorn was at a height <u>4.15m</u> from the ground before dropping down.

At $.110 per kWh, what does it cost to leave a 40-W porch light on day and night for a year?

nlexa [21]

The cost of electricity be $ 38.544.

<h3>What is electricity?</h3>

Electricity is the passage of charges in a conductor. From one end of the terminal to the other, charges are transmitted. Usually, the terminal moves from positive to negative. Since the nucleus holds the electrons loosely, they can move freely throughout the body.

Watts are units of power used to measure electrical output.

Price of electricity is $ 0.110 per kWh .

If a 40-W porch light on day and night for a year, total amount of electricity spend = power of the bulb × time

= 40 W × 1 year

= 40 W × 365 day

= 40 W × 365 ×24 h

= 350400 Wh

= 350.4 kWh.

Hence, the cost of electricity be = $350.4 × 0.110 = $ 38.544.
