Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer

cury is 0.51 Nm/s; Temperature is 15.5 C; specific gravity =13.3, and an angle made by mercury with the glass was measured to be 50o. Assume mercury and glass form a nonwetted surface (5 points).

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m

If a wire lies withina magnetic field what must be true for the magnetic field to produce an electric current in the wire
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The magnetic field through the wire must be changing

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf, ε in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux,Φ  through it. This is stated mathematically as ε = dΦ/dt.

Now for the wire, the magnetic flux through it is given by Φ = ABcosθ where A = cross-sectional area of wire, B = magnetic field and θ = angle between A and B.

So, dΦ/dt = dABcosθ/dt

Since A and B are constant,

dΦ/dt = ABdcosθ/dt = -(dθ/dt)ABsinθ

Since dθ/dt implies a change in the angle between A and B, since A is constant, it implies that B must be rotating.

So, <u>for an electric current (or voltage) to be produced in the wire, the magnetic field must be rotating or changing</u>.

What is the answer I’m stuck on this one it’s a screenshot for the question
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

deceleration is the opposite of acceleration

Explanation:

We know that acceleration is the increase of speed with respect to time. So deceleration must be represented on the graph as a decrease in speed over time.a

A teacher discusses a scientific theory that has been in place for almost a century. which would present the greatest challenge
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.

Is a process that modifies light waves so they vibrate in a single plane
madam [21]

The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves. 

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

In ionic bonds what happens to electrons?
OverLord2011 [107]
I think the correct answer from the choices would be that metals donate electrons to nonmetals. Ionic bonding involves transfer of valence electrons. The metal looses its valence electrons which makes it a cation while the nonmetal accepts these electrons.
