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.

Answer:

-450 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

p₀ = p

0 = (1.5 kg) (1.5 m/s) + (0.005 kg) v

v = -450 m/s

A police car is located 50 feet to the side of a straight road. A red car is driving along the road in the direction of the poli

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:74.33 feet per sec

Explanation:

Given

Police car is 50 feet side of road

Red car is 140 feet up the road

Distance between them is decreasing at the rate of 70 feet per sec

From figure

$x^2+y^2=z^2$

$z=\sqrt{140^2+50^2}$

z=148.66 feet

as the red car is moving

therefore its velocity magnitude is given by

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$2x\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+0=2z\frac{\mathrm{d} z}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=z\frac{\mathrm{d} z}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$140\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=148.66\times 70$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=74.33 feet\ per\ sec$

A positively charged particle 1 is at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system, and there are no other charged objects nearby

8090 [49]

Answer:

P=(2 nm, 8mn)

Explanation:

Given :

Position of positively charged particle at origin, $O=(0\ nm,0\ nm)$

Position of desired magnetic field, $D\equiv(1\ nm,8\ nm)$

Magnitude of desired magnetic field, $E=0\ N.C^{-1}$

Let q be the positive charge magnitude placed at origin.

<u>We know the distance between the two Cartesian points is given as:</u>

$d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

<u>For the electric field effect to be zero at point D we need equal and opposite field at the point.</u>

$\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q}{r^2 } =\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q}{r^2 }$

$\therefore (1-0)^2+(8-0)^2=r^2$

$r^2=65\ nm$

$r=\sqrt{65}$

as we know that the electric field lines emerge radially outward of a positive charge so the second charge will be at equally opposite side of the given point.

assuming that the second charge is placed at (x,y) nano-meters.

Therefore,

$x=2\times 1=2\ nm$

and

$y=2\times 8=16\ nm$

Sati [7]

Alright, to begin with. The unit of Force is in Newtons. Meaning the first two options are out of the answers. Now in order to find the force. You will need to take the mass and multiply that by the acceleration. Which will give you 26.75 Newtons.
