What is demonstrated by water moving up a straw?

2 answers:

<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>

Suppose that you have been chosen for a space mission to a distant planet. Due to the length of time you'll be away from Earth y

Contact [7]

Answer:

I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

Explanation:

Since time dilates in moving objects, we use the formula t = t₀/√(1 - β²) where t = time in space vehicle, t₀ = time on earth = 9 hours and β = v/c where v = speed of space vehicle = 0.8c.

So, t = t₀/√(1 - β²)

t = 9/√(1 - (v/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8c/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.64)

= 9/√0.36

= 9/0.6

= 15 hr

So, according to a timer on the space vehicle, I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

A very delicate sample is placed 0.150 cm from the objective lens of a microscope. The focal length of the objective is 0.140 cm

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

m = 14*26 = 364

Explanation:

overall magnification is given as m

$m = m_{o}* m_{e}$

mo magnification of objective lens

me magnification of EYE lens

where mo is given as

$m_{o} = \frac{v_{o}}{-u _{0}}$

and me as

$m_{e} = 1+\frac{D}{f_{e}}$

d is distant of distinct vision = 25.0 cm for normal eye

fe = focal length of eye piece

focal length of objective lense is 0.140 cm

we know that

$\frac{1}{v_{0}}-\frac{1}{u_{0}}=\frac{1}{f_{0}}$

$\frac{1}{v_{0}} = \frac{1}{u_{0}} + \frac{1}{f_{0}}$

$\frac{1}{v_{0}} = \frac{1}{0.150} + \frac{1}{0.14}$

$\frac{1}{v_{o}} = 2.1 cm$

$m_{o} = \frac{2.1}{0.150} = 14$

$m_{e} = 1+\frac{25}{1}$

$m_{e} =26$

$m = m_{o}* m_{e}$

m = 14*26 = 364

If a car is traveling at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour how long does it take to travel 12 kilometers

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The time taken to travel is, t = 12 minutes

Explanation:

Given data,

The speed of the car, v = 60 km/h

The distance of travel, d = 12 km

The time taken for the travel is t = ?

The speed is defined as the distance divided by the time taken to travel. The formula for speed is,

v = d/t

∴ t = d/v

t = 12 km / 60 km/h

t = 0.2 h

t = 12 minutes

Hence, the time taken to travel is, t = 12 minutes.
