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

You prepare tea with 0.250 kg of water at 85.0 ºC and let it cool down to room temperature (20.0 ºC) before drinking it. Essenti
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

232 J/K

Explanation:

The amount of heat gained by the air = the amount of heat lost by the tea.

q_air = -q_tea

q = -mCΔT

q = -(0.250 kg) (4184 J/kg/ºC) (20.0ºC − 85.0ºC)

q = 68,000 J

The change in entropy is:

dS = dQ/T

Since the room temperature is constant (isothermal):

ΔS = ΔQ/T

Plug in values (remember to use absolute temperature):

ΔS = (68,000 J) / (293 K)

ΔS = 232 J/K

Aunt Matilda goes to a well and throws a penny straight down the well at 3.0 m/s. She hears a splash after 0.5 seconds. How deep
nevsk [136]

Answer : The correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Explanation :

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance or height = ?

u = initial velocity  = 3.0 m/s

t = time = 0.5 s

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

s=(3.0m/s)\times (0.5s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (0.5s)^2

s=2.73m

Therefore, the correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Begin any simulation, and turn on Gravity Force in the central menu on the right. The gravity force arrow shows the direction an
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The gravity arrow for each body rotates, always pointing toward the other body. Both arrows grow longer when the bodies come closer to one another and shorter when they move farther apart. This change shows that the gravitational force is stronger the closer together the bodies are.

The nonreflective coating on a camera lens with an index of refraction of 1.21 is designed to minimize the reflection of 570-nm
lord [1]

Answer: 117.8 nm

Explanation:

Given,

Nonreflective coating refractive index : n = 1.21

Index of refraction: n_0 = 1.52

Wave length of light = λ = 570 nm = 570\times10^{-9}\ m

\text{ Thickness}=\dfrac{\lambda}{4n}

=\dfrac{570\times10^{-9}\ m}{4\times1.21}\\\\\approx\dfrac{117.8\times 10^{-9}\ m}{1}\\\\=117.8\text{ nm}

Hence, the minimum thickness of the coating that will accomplish= 117.8 nm
