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.

A solar cell, 3.0 cm square, has an output of 350 mA at 0.80 V when exposed to full sunlight. A solar panel that delivers close

Vesna [10]

Answer:

You will need 450 cells (3 cm each) to meet the voltage/current requirement.

The panel must be 3 cells in one side, by 150 cell in another side. 1350 cm^2 or 0.135 m^2. They must be connected 3 in row in parallel (to add current), then each of the former group must be connected in series to meet the voltage, so it would be 150 rows of connected in series.

The panel can be optimized using a voltage inverter, to convert current to voltage. In this way, less cells can be used achieving the same output specs.

Explanation:

To meet the voltage:

120 [v] required voltage

0.8 [v] voltage of each cell

$\frac{120}{0.8} =150[v]\\$

So we need 150 cells in series for the voltage.

To meet the current

1.0 [A] Required current

350[mA]=0.35[A] cell current

1/0.35=3 cell So we need 3 cells in parallel to add the currents and meet the requirement.

An athlete kicks a soccer ball that starts at rest so that it leaves their foot with a speed of 10m/s from the top o f a rectang

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$a=500m/s^2$

Explanation:

We need only to apply the definition of acceleration, which is:

$a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_i}$

In our case the final velocity is $v_f=10m/s$ , the initial velocity is $v_i=0m/s$ since it departs from rest, the final time is $t_f=0.02s$ and the initial time we are considering is $t_i=0s$

So for our values we have:

$a=\frac{10m/s-0m/s}{0.02s-0s}=500m/s^2$

A convex spherical mirror having a radius of curvature 18 cm (focal length = 1/2 radius of curvature for a spherical mirror) pro

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

distance between object and image = 18.9 cm

Explanation:

given data

radius of curvature = 18 cm

focal length = 1/2 radius of curvature

magnification = 40%

to find out

distance between object and image

solution

we know lens formula that is

1/f = 1/v + 1/u ....................1

here f = 18 /2 and v and u is object and image distance

and we know m = 40% = 0.40

so 0.40 = -v / u

so here v = - 0.40 u

so from equation 1

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

2/18 = - 1/0.40u + 1/u

u = -13.5 cm ..................2

and

v = -0.40 (- 13.5)

v = 5.4 cm ......................3

so from equation 2 and 3

distance between object and image = 5.4 + 13.5

distance between object and image = 18.9 cm

A 70 kg student stands on top of a 5.0 m platform diving board . how much gravitational potential energy does the student have?

Marianna [84]

Answer:

a. P.E = 3430Joules.

b. Workdone = 3430Nm

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 70kg

Distance = 5m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

To find the potential energy;

Potential energy = mgh

P.E = 70*9.8*5

P.E = 3430J

b. To find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

But force = mass * acceleration

Force = 70*9.8

Force = 686 Newton.

Workdone = 686 * 5

Workdone = 3430Nm
