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 1600 kg car on flat ground is moving 6.25 m/s. its engine creates 1150 N forward force as the car moves 45.8 m. what is it fin
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

83,900 J

Explanation:

First, find the acceleration:

F = ma

1150 N = (1600 kg) a

a = 0.719 m/s²

Now find the final velocity.

Given:

Δx = 45.8 m

v₀ = 6.25 m/s

a = 0.719 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (6.25 m/s)² + 2 (0.719 m/s²) (45.8 m)

v = 10.2 m/s

Now find the final KE:

KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (1600 kg) (10.2 m/s)²

KE = 83,920 J

Rounded to three significant figures, the final kinetic energy is 83,900 J.

A 0.50-kg red cart is moving rightward with a speed of 40 cm/s when it collides
lukranit [14]

The momentum of the red cart before the collision is 0.2 kgm/s and the blue cart is 0.

The momentum of the red cart after the collision is 0.05 kgm/s and the blue cart is 0.15 kgm/s.

The change in momentum of the system of the carts is 0.

<h3>Initial momentum of the carts before collision</h3>

The momentum of the carts before the collision is calculated as follows;

P(red) = 0.5 kg x 0.4 m/s = 0.2 kgm/s

P(blue) = 1.5 x 0 = 0

<h3>Momentum of the carts after collision</h3>

The momentum of the carts after the collision is calculated as follows;

P(red) = 0.5 x 0.1 = 0.05 kgm/s

P(blue) = 1.5 0.1 = 0.15 kgm/s

<h3>Change in momentum of the carts</h3>

\Delta P = P_f - P_i

ΔP = (0.05 + 0.15) - (0.2)

ΔP = 0
