B. lower than the mercury in the vessel, and shaped like the outside of an umbrella.
C. lower than the mercury in the vessel, and shaped like the inside of a bowl.
D. higher than the mercury in the vessel, and shaped like the outside of an umbrella.

The pressure outside (atmosphere) is greater than that inside the tube. This means that the mercury will be pushed up in the glass tube. This phenomenon is called the capillary rise. It shape would be like that of the outside of the umbrella. The answer is therefore letter D.

An object is at rest on the ground. The object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth. Which of the following pre
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

If the object is at rest, it means that no net force is exerted on it.

As the object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth, in order to be at rest, it must experience an upward force with the same magnitude as the gravitational force on the object.

This force is supplied by the normal force, which can adopt any value in order to meet the condition imposed by Newton´s 2nd Law, and is always perpendicular to the surface on which the object is placed (in this case, the ground).

At a molecular level, this normal force is supplied by the bonded molecules of the ground that behave like small springs being compressed by the molecules of the object, exerting an upward restoring force upward on them.

So, the statements A) and B) are true.

Please Help!!!!

Answer:

v = 0.92 c

Explanation:

Here, we will use the time dilation formula from Einstein's theory of relativity to find the speed of traveling of the friend:

t =\frac{t_o}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}} \\\\\\\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}=\frac{t_o}{t}\\\\

where,

v = speed of traveling = ?

c = speed of light

t = time of return = 10 years

t₀ = time passed on earth = 4 years

Therefore,

\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}} = \frac{4\ years}{10\ years}\\\\  1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}=(\frac{2}{5})^2\\\\\frac{v^2}{c^2} = 1-\frac{4}{25}\\\\\frac{v^2}{c^2} = \frac{21}{25}\\\\v^2 = 0.84c^2\\\\

<u>v = 0.92 c</u>

If the current in each wire is the same, which wire produces the strongest magnetic field?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: option 4: A wire that is 2-mm thick and coiled.

Explanation:

The current in each wire is same. The magnetic field due to a current carrying wire increases if the wire is coiled with the more number of turns. A thick wire would cause low resistance to the current. Hence, a 2-mm thick wire which is coiled would produce the strongest magnetic field.

What potential difference is needed to give a helium nucleus (q=2e) 85.0 kev of kinetic energy?
Vilka [71]
The kinetic energy K given to the helium nucleus is equal to its potential energy, which is 
E=q \Delta V
where q=2e is the charge of the helium nucleus, and \Delta V is the potential difference applied to it.
Since we know the kinetic energy, we have
E=K=85~keV=q \Delta V
and from this we can find the potential difference:
\Delta V =  \frac{K}{q}= \frac{85~keV}{2e}=42.5~kV
