Adhesive.
Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.
When the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Initial reading on scale =40 N
So, we can conclude that weight of the sack is 40 N
After this a 10 N force is applied upward on the sack such that the net force becomes (40-10) N downward (because downward force is more)
This net downward force is the resultant of earth graviational pull and the applied upward force.
So, this downward force acts on the machine which inturn applies an upaward force of same magnitude called Normal reaction.
This situation can be diagramatically represented by figure given below
Answer:
The fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is

Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The time constant 
The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

Where
is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged
So at


Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor
Now since capacitance is constant at
The energy stored can be evaluated at as


Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is

Answer:
Pascal's law (also Pascal's principle or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure) is a principle in fluid mechanics given by Blaise Pascal that states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.
1) The total mechanical energy of the rock is:

where U is the gravitational potential energy and K the kinetic energy.
Initially, the kinetic energy is zero (because the rock starts from rest, so its speed is zero), and the total mechanical energy of the rock is just gravitational potential energy. This is equal to

where

is the mass,

is the gravitational acceleration and

is the height.
Putting the numbers in, we find the potential energy

2) Just before hitting the ground, the potential energy U is zero (because now h=0), and all the potential energy of the rock converted into kinetic energy, which is equal to:

where v is the speed of the rock just before hitting the ground. Since the mechanical energy of the rock must be conserved, then the kinetic energy K before hitting the ground must be equal to the initial potential energy U of the rock:

3) For the work-energy theorem, the work W done by the gravitational force on the rock is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the rock, which is:
