Capillarity  The state of being capillary; the attraction and repulsion of molecules on the surface of a liquid in contact with a solid, as the walls of it's container ,which results in the rise or fall of a liquid when in narrow tubes or fibers, or in the wetting of a solid by a liquid.

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The object will travel 675 m during that time.

Explanation:

A body moves with constant acceleration motion or uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (u.a.r.m) when the path is a straight line, but the velocity is not necessarily constant because there is an acceleration.

In other words, a body performs a u.a.r.m when its path is a straight line and its acceleration is constant. This implies that the speed increases or decreases uniformly.

In this case, the position is calculated using the expression:

x = xo + vo*t + ½*a*t²

where:

  • x0 is the initial position.
  • v0 is the initial velocity.
  • a is the acceleration.
  • t is the time interval in which the motion is studied.

In this case:

  • x0= 0
  • v0= 0  because the object is initially stationary
  • a= 6 \frac{m}{s^{2} }
  • t= 15 s

Replacing:

x= 0 + 0*15 s + ½*6 \frac{m}{s^{2} }*(15s)²

Solving:

x=½*6 \frac{m}{s^{2} }*(15s)²

x=½*6 \frac{m}{s^{2} }*225 s²

x= 675 m

<u><em> The object will travel 675 m during that time.</em></u>

If an object accelerates from rest, what will its velocity be after 1.3 s if it has a constant acceleration of 9.1 m/s^2?
HACTEHA [7]

\text{Given that,}\\\\\text{Initial velocity,} ~v_0 = 0~ \text{m~s}^{-1}\\\\\text{Time,  t = 1.3~sec}\\\\\text{Acceleration, a = 9.1 m s}^{-2}\\\\\\\\\text{Velocity,}\\\\v = v_0  +at\\\\\implies v = 0 + 9.1 \times 1.3 = 11.83~~ \text{m~s}^{-1}
