Explain the following behaviour of molecules water rises up in a harrow tubes but mercury which is also a liquid falls in a narr

ow tubes to level below the outside surface

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.

How do you relate and explain a planet's distance from the Sun to things like the time of their year & their average tempare
anzhelika [568]
What we call a "year" is the time a body takes to complete one orbital revolution
in its path around the sun.  The way gravity works, the farther a planet is from the
sun, the slower it moves, and the longer it takes to complete that trip.  So, farther
out from the sun means a longer "year".

Everybody knows that if you want to get more warmth, then you have to stand closer
to the fire, and it's the same with planets.  The farther a planet is from the sun, the less
heat it gets from the sun, and in most cases, that means its average temperature is
lower. (The planet's average temperature is affected by other things besides its distance
from the sun, such as how much heat comes up from inside, and how much heat its
atmosphere traps.)

The farther a planet's rotation axis is tilted from being perpendicular to the plane
of its orbit, the more seasonal variation there can be in the temperature at any one
place on its surface.  Of course, this is kind of irrelevant if the planet has no surface.

Just need to confirm an answer
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Remark

If, when it reaches its maximum height where the PE is the greatest, that the maximum energy is when the ball is first kicked. That would mean its starting energy is 10 Joules.

Formula

KE = 1/2 m v^2

Givens

KE = 10 J

m = 0.2 kg

v = ?

Solution

10 = 1/2 * 0.2 * v^2

10 * 2 = 0.2 * v^2

20 = 0.2 * v^2

20/0.2 = v^2

100 = v^2

v = 10 m/s

What is the gravitational force of attraction between a planet and a 17-kilogram mass that is falling freely toward the surface
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. 150 N

Explanation:

Gravitational Force: This is the force that act on a body under gravity.

The gravitational force always attract every object on or near the earth's surface. The earth therefore, exerts an attractive force on every object on or near it.

The S.I unit of gravitational force is Newton(N).

Mathematically, gravitational force of attraction is expressed as

(i) F = GmM/r² ........................ Equation 1 ( when it involves two object of different masses on the earth)

(ii) F = mg ............................... Equation 2 ( when it involves one mass and the gravitational field).

Given: m = 17 kg, g = 8.8 m/s²

Substituting into equation 2,

F = 17(8.8)

F = 149.6 N

F ≈ 150 N.

Thus the gravitational force = 150 N

The correct option is a. 150 N
