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.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Normal Force, frictional force, kinematic equations of motion and Newton's second law.
From the kinematic equations of motion we know that the relationship of acceleration, velocity and distance is given by

Where,
Final velocity
Initial Velocity
a = Acceleration
x = Displacement
Acceleration can be expressed in terms of the drag coefficient by means of
Frictional Force
Force by Newton's second Law
Where,
m = mass
a= acceleration
Kinetic frictional coefficient
g = Gravity
Equating both equation we have that



Therefore,


Re-arrange to find x,

The distance traveled by the car depends on the coefficient of kinetic friction, acceleration due to gravity and initial velocity, therefore the three cars will stop at the same distance.
Answer:
a) 0 metres
b) From time 0 s to 10 s , the car was accelerated. Its velocity accelerated from 0m/s to 20 m/s
c) 20 m/s
Explanation:
a) <em>Formula of displacement= velocity x time</em>
time=40 s
velocity =0 m/s
∴ displacement= 0 x 40 = 0 m
Magnitude of displacement is 0 m
b) The increase in velocity shows that there has been acceleration.
c) The average velocity of the car is =
{initial velocity + final velocity}
=
=20
Therefore, the magnitude of the average velocity of the car is 20 m/s
