Mandarinka [93]3 years ago

Answer: find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

The capillarity of water molecules is different from the mercury molecules.

What is capillarity ?

This is the tendency of a liquid substance to rise in a capillary tube.

Molecules water rises up in a harrow tubes because of the force of adhesion between the water molecules and the tube molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between the water molecules. This helps water to wet the tube and rise. While mercury which is also a liquid falls in a narrow tubes to level below the outside surface because the force of cohesion between the mercury molecules is greater than the force of adhesion between the mercury molecules and the tube molecules. Mercury does not wet.

According to recent typical test data, a Ford Focus travels 0.240 mi in 19.3 s, starting from rest. The same car, when braking f
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

While breaking initial velocity u = 62.5 mph

= 62.5 x 1760 x 3 / (60 x 60 )  ft /s

= 91.66 ft / s

distance trvelled s = 150 ft

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 91.66²  - 2 a x 150

a = - 28 ft / s²

b ) While accelerating initial velocity u = 0

distance travelled s = .24 mi

time = 19.3 s

s = ut + 1/2 at²

s is distance travelled in time t with acceleration a ,

.24 = 0 + 1/2 a x 19.3²

a = .001288 mi/s²

= 2.06 m /s²

c )

If distance travelled s = .25 mi

final velocity v = ? a = .001288 mi / s²

v² = u² + 2as

= 0 + 2 x .001288 x .25

= .000644

v = .025 mi / s

= .0025 x 60 x 60 mi / h

= 91.35 mph .

d ) initial velocity u = 59 mph

= 86.53 ft / s

final velocity = 0

acceleration = - 28 ft /s²

v = u - at

0 = 86.53 - 28 t

t = 3 sec approx .

what is the percent efficiency of a light bulb that emits 14 joules of light for every 60 joules of electric energy thst enters
jasenka [17]
If you're using the bulb as a source of light, then it's. 14/60 = 23.3% efficient.
If you're using it to heat a bird nest or a hamster cage, then it's. 46/60 = 76.7% efficient !
It just depends on your point of view, and what you consider 'useful' output.

A car engine has power than a horse because a car engine does the same amount of work in time. Yasmin and Raj each had 10 boxes
labwork [276]

Answer:

A car engine has more power than a horse because a car engine does the same amount of work in time. Yasmin and Raj each had 10 boxes of equal weight to stack next to each other on the same shelf, at the same height and in the same arrangement. Yasmin completed the task in 2 minutes, while Raj took 3 minutes to stack his boxes. Raj applied less power than Yasmin because his stacking took more time to do the same amount of work.
