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.

Complete question:

A 0.50 kilogram frog is at rest on the bank surrounding a pond of water. As the frog leaps from the bank, the magnitude of the acceleration of the frog is 4.0 meters per second^2. Calculate The magnitude of the net force exerted on the frog as it leaps.

Answer:

2.0N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m of the frog = 0.5 kg

The acceleration of the frog = 4.0 m/s².

We have been asked To find,

The magnitude of the net force exerted on the frog as it leaps.

So

We calculate this using the formula below :

F = ma

When we insert the values into the formula, we have:

F = 0.5 kg × 4 m/s²

F = 2.0 N

Therefore, the magnitude of net force is 2.0 N.

What effect does an unbalanced force have on an object?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

An unbalanced force can change an object's motion. An unbalanced force acting on a still object could make the object start moving. An unbalanced force acting on a moving object could make the object change direction, change speed, or stop moving.
