Oil flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called

Physics

quester [9]3 years ago

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a liquid, when an attractive force is exerted on the surface molecules by the inner molecules then there will be molecules in bulk on the surface of liquid. Due to this, the liquid acquires the shape having the least surface area. This is known as surface tension.

Whereas when a liquid rises  in the upward direction due to surface tension and resists any external force then this action is known as capillary action.

Thus, we can conclude that oil flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called capillarity.

ololo11 [35]

<span>The answer is 6 kg the mass of the second object. By using Inversely proportional formula it means that (14 kg) (3 m/s</span>²<span>) = M (7 m/s</span>²<span>). Where M is the mass of the second object. For the Newton’s second law of motion formula which is: Force = mass x acceleration, we have:</span>

<span>F = (14 kg) (3 m/s</span>²<span>) = 42 N</span>

 

Therefore:

<span>42 N = M (7 m/s</span>²)

<span>M = (42 N) / (7 m/s</span>²<span>)</span>

M = 6 kg mass of the second object

ohaa [14]

Answer:

He sees the light as 1c

Explanation:

According to relativity, the speed of light is the same in all inertial frame of reference.

If we were to add the velocities as applicable to a normal moving bodies, the relative speed of the light beam will exceed c which will break relativistic law since nothing can go past the speed of light.

Answer:

All of the genetic information comes from one parent.

Explanation:

The question states that the organism has genes that are identical to the parent's. The egg is a type of Gamete, which means that it needs a sperm in order to produce anything, which would have to come from another parent, but, since the genes are unchanged, it can't be that one. The same logic applies to the 2nd and 4th as well
