Answer:

Surface tension ____. a. is the inward force which tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid b. may be increased by detergents c. is decreased by hydrogen bonding d.

Note: option d is missing

The correct answer to the question is "option A (is the inward force which tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid)"

Explanation:

Surface tension is the most important for small fluid bodies. The surface comes under tension from the imbalanced forces  and is often expressed as an amount of force exerted in the surface perpendicular to a line of unit length and it is a direct measure of  energy loss per unit area of a surface.

The resistance that a surface shows against extension is a proof that an internal surface tension is present in the surface. Formula for measuring surface tension is: gamma equals force divided by length. The SI unit is newton per meter, dyne per centimeter is also used.

Water has a high surface tension because the water molecules on the surface are pulled together by strong hydrogen bonds. Surface tension of a liquid surface is that property of that liquid surface that makes it act like a stretched elastic sheet. Example of effect of surface tension on water is the flotation of objects denser than water, the separation of oil and water due to tension which arises in surface between dissimilar liquids. In the surface tension of liquid, the net force of attraction acting on the molecule is zero.

Students measured the mass of 25.0 mL of water and found it be 25.4 g. The accepted mass is 25.0 g. What is the percent error of
Andre45 [30]
Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct. 
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at 
standard temperature, then the mass of  25.0 mL  could
very well be  25.4 grams.  We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:

The 'error' was  (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram

As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was

                            +0.4 / 25.0  =  +0.016 .

To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way  ===> .

                           + 0.016  =  +1.6 % .

     
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.

Let's not call it an 'error'.  Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value.  OK ?

about how much more energy is released in a 6.5 richter magnitude earthquake than in one with magnitude 5.5?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

For example, an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 releases about 32 times as much energy as an earthquake measuring 4.5. Another way to look at this is that it takes about 900 magnitude 4.5 earthquakes to equal the energy released in a single 6.5 earthquake.

Anyone please helps me with this question... I'm stuck..

Highest fluid potential energy: answer A
Because the fluid is pushed upwards and potential energy is function of height. Since point A is the highest, there is the highest potential energy.

highest fluid pressure: answer C
This is because it is at the bottom where you have a hydrostatic pressure component

increasing fluid speed: answer B
This is because the section of the pipe is smaller and in order to have the same fluid flow rate the speed must increase
