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.

The velocity of sound in air saturated with water vapour at 30°C
Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

The velocity of sound depends on the density of the medium.  So we need to find the density of air at each set of conditions.  The density of air is:

ρ = (Pd / (Rd T)) + (Pv / (Rv T))

where Pd and Pv are the partial pressures of dry air and water vapor,

Rd and Rv are the specific gas constants of dry air and water vapor,

and T is the absolute temperature.

At the first condition:

Pv = 31.7 mmHg = 4226.3 Pa

Pd = 650 mmHg - 31.7 mmHg = 618.3 mmHg = 82433 Pa

Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K

Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K

T = 30°C = 303.15°C

ρ = (82433 / 287.00 / 303.15) + (4226.3 / 461.52 / 303.15)

ρ = 0.94746 + 0.03021

ρ = 0.97767 kg/m³

At the second condition:

Pv = 0 Pa

Pd = 650 mmHg = 86660 Pa

Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K

Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K

T = 0°C = 273.15°C

ρ = (86660 / 287.00 / 273.15) + (0 / 461.52 / 273.15)

ρ = 1.1054 + 0

ρ = 1.1054 kg/m³

The square of the velocity of sound is proportional to the ratio between pressure and density:

v² = k P / ρ

Since the atmospheric pressure is constant, we can say it's proportional to just the density:

v² = k / ρ

Using the first condition to find the coefficient:

(340)² = k / 0.97767

k = 113018.652

Now finding the velocity of sound at the second condition:

v² = 113018.652 / 1.1054

v = 319.75

The Sun delivers an average power of 1.575 W/m2 to the top of Neptune's atmosphere. Find the magnitudes of max and max for the e
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T

34.46 V/m

Explanation:

\mu_0 = Vacuum permeability = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

I = Intensity = 1.575 W/m²

The maximum magnetic field intensity is given by

B_m=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\mu_0I}{c}}\\\Rightarrow B_m=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1.575}{3\times 10^8}}\\\Rightarrow B_m=1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T

The magnetic field intensity is 1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T

The maximum electric field intensity is given by

E_m=B_m\times c\\\Rightarrow E_m=1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\times 3\times 10^8\\\Rightarrow E_m=34.46\ V/m

The  electric field intensity is 34.46 V/m

A ball is launched from ground level and hits the ground again after an elapsed time of 4 seconds and after traveling a horizont
jeka94

Answer:

1)a. It is constant the whole time the ball is in free-fall.

2)b. = 14 m/s

3) e. = 19.6 m/s

Explanation:

1) given that the only force acting on the ball is gravity, gravity acts along the vertical axis. Since no other force acts on the ball then the horizontal velocity will remain constant all through the flight since there is no horizontal force acting on the ball.

2) speed = distance/time

horizontal distance = 56m

Time = 4 seconds

Speed = 56m/4s = 14m/s

3) acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2

Initial vertical velocity = u

Final vertical velocity = v = -u

Using the law of motion;

v = u + at

a = acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s^2

t = time of flight = 4

Substituting the values;

-u = u - 4(9.8)

-2u = -4(9.8)

u = -4(9.8)/-2

u = 2(9.8) = 19.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = u = 19.6 m/s
