A liquid in a given capillary tube always rises up to a fixed height but not infinitely why

The answer is; the density of the liquid suppresses the height to which it can rise

The density acts in the opposite direction of capillary action. Capillary action allows the liquid to rise in the tube and the narrower the tube the higher the capillary action and the higher the liquid rises. The denser the liquid however, the lower it will rise. The column stops rising when the capillary force is balanced by the weight of the rising liquid due to gravity.

Where in the motion is the magnitude of the force from the spring on the object zero? Where in the motion is the magnitude of th

kkurt [141]

Answer:

1. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is zero on Equilibrium.

2. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is a maximum on The top and bottom.

3. The magnitude of the net force on the object is zero on The Bottom.

4. The magnitude of the force on the object is a maximum on the Top.

Explanation:

1. Because the change in position delta X is zero.

2. Because of delta X.

3. Beacuse, the force of gravity and the force of the spring oppose each other to keep the block at rest, away from the equilibrium position.

4. Because, the force of the spring from compressiom and the force of gravity both act on the mass.

What is the Genetic Modification Process? Brainlyist for the best answer

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Production of GMOs is a multistage process which can be summarized as follows:

1. identification of the gene interest;

2. isolation of the gene of interest;

3. amplifying the gene to produce many copies;

4. associating the gene with an appropriate promoter and poly A sequence and insertion into plasmids;

5. multiplying the plasmid in bacteria and recovering the cloned construct for injection;

6. transference of the construct into the recipient tissue, usually fertilized eggs;

7. integration of gene into recipient genome;

8. expression of gene in recipient genome; and

9. inheritance of gene through further generations.

xeze [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lets say that a,b,c,d,e are the five allowed energy states in order of decreasing energy. Then the number of possible different spectral lines comes from the electron dropping from a high state to a lower state. So, they will do so in following ways:

a - b

a - c

a - d

a- e

b - c

b - d

b- e

c - d

c- e

d- e

Ans- Ten different possible energy jumps giving six different colors or lines in the spectrum.

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one-third the acceleration due to gravity on Earthâ€™s surface.

aksik [14]

Answer:

one-third of its weight on Earth's surface

Explanation:

Weight of an object is = W = m*g

Gravity on Earth = g₁ = 9.8 m/s

Gravity on Mars = g₂ = $\frac{1}{3}$ g₁

Weight of probe on earth = w₁ = m * g₁

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₂ -------- ( 1 )

As g₂ = g₁/3 --------- ( 2 )

Put equation (2) in equation (1)

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₁ /3

Weight of probe on Mars = $\frac{1}{3}$ m * g₁ = $\frac{1}{3}$ w₁

⇒Weight of probe on Mars = $\frac{1}{3}$ Weight of probe on earth
