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.

A 23.5 g piece of aluminum metal is initially at 100.0°C. It is dropped into a coffee cup-calorimeter containing 130.0 g of wate
vivado [14]

Answer: The molar heat capacity of aluminum is 25.3J/mol^0C

Explanation:

heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}

As we know that,  

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]         .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of water = 130.0 g

m_2 = mass of aluminiunm = 23.5 g

T_{final} = final temperature = 26.0^oC=(273+26)K=299K

T_1 = temperature of water = 23^oC=(273+23)K=296K

T_2 = temperature of aluminium = 100^oC=273+100=373K

c_1 = specific heat of water= 4.184J/g^0C

c_2 = specific heat of aluminium= ?

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

130.0\times 4.184\times (299-296)=-[23.5\times c_2\times (299-373)]

c_2=0.938J/g^0C

Molar mass of Aluminium = 27 g/mol

Thus molar heat capacity =0.938J/g^0C\times 27g/mol=25.3J/mol^0C

Suppose a ball is dropped from shoulder height, falls, makes a perfectly elastic collision with the floor, and rebounds to shoul
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:Same magnitude

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from shoulder height h then velocity at the bottom is given by

v_1=\sqrt{2gh}

if it makes elastic collision then it will acquire the same velocity and riser up to the same height

If m is the mass of ball then impulse imparted is given by

J=m(v_2-v_1)

J=2m\sqrt{2gh}

Thus impulse imparted by gravity and Floor will have same magnitude of impulse but direction will be opposite to each other.

What is the density (in kg/m3) of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.92% of her volume above the surface
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given;

fraction of the woman's volume above the surface = 4.92%

then, fraction of the woman's volume below the surface = 100 - 4.92% = 95.08%

the specific gravity of the woman = \frac{95.08}{100 } = 0.9508

The density of the woman is calculate as;

Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman = \frac{Density \ of \ the \ woman }{Density \ of \ fresh \ water }\\\\ Density \ of \ the \ woman  = Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman \ \times \ Density \ of \ fresh \ water

Density of fresh water = 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 0.9508 x 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 950.8 kg/m³

Therefore, the density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

Which state of matter takes both the shape and volume of its container?
Tresset [83]

The <em>gaseous state</em> of matter does that.  A gas expands to take the shape and volume of whatever you put it into.
