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.

The total electric flux from a cubical box 26.0 cm on a side is 1840 N m2/C. What charge is enclosed by the box?

vitfil [10]

The expression of the electric flux is

$\Phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

Here,

Q = Total charge enclosed in the closed surface

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity due to free space

Rearranging to find the charge,

$Q = \epsilon_0 \Phi$

Replacing with our values we have finally

$Q = (8.85*10^{-12}F\cdot m^{-1})(1.84*10^3 N\cdot m^2/C)$

$Q = 1.6284*10^{-8} C$ $(\frac{10^9nC}{1C})$

$Q = 0.1684nC$

The charge enclosed by the box is 0.1684nC

The sign of the charge can be decided by using the direction of the flux. The charge enclosed by the cube can be calculated by using the electric flux and the permitivity of free space.

A car’s bumper is designed to withstand a 4.0-km/h (1.1-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of th

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

avriage force F = 2722.5 N

Explanation:

For this problem we can use Newton's second law, to calculate the average force and acceleration we can find it by kinematics.

vf² = v₀² - 2 ax

The final carriage speed is zero (vf = 0)

0 = v₀² - 2ax

a = v₀² / 2x

a = 1.1²/(2 0.200)

a = 3.025 m / s²

a = 3.0 m/s²

We calculate the average force

F = ma

F = 900 3,025

F = 2722.5 N

In a game of egg-toss, you and a partner are throwing an egg back and forth trying not to break it. Given your knowledge of mome

F=dP/dt. So you want the momentum to change as slowly as possible in time to minimize the force. So as you catch the egg, let your hand move backward with it for awhile, slowly bringing it to a stop. If you hold your hand steady when you catch it the force due to the impact could break it.

4. What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that acts on a man

Cloud [144]

The gravitational force acting on the man is 800 N towards the Earth's centre

Explanation:

The weight of an object on the Earth is exactly the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the object

R is the radius of the Earth

And the direction of the force is towards the Earth's centre.

Since G, M and R are constant, they are grouped into a single constant called g, acceleration of gravity:

$g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

therefore the gravitational force can be rewritten as

$F=mg$

And this is the usual equation that we use to calculate the weight of an object.

Therefore, weight and gravitational force acting on an object on Earth are the same thing: so, the gravitational force acting on the man is equal to his weight, 800 N, and it acts towards the Earth's center.
