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

Physics
1 answer:
podryga [215]4 years ago
6 0

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.

Lightning a. occurs when a positively charged cloud base induces a negative charge on the Earth's surface. b. travels most often
mart [117]

Answer:

c. may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Explanation:

Lightning is a discharge which is due to the reaction between oppositely charged charges in the clouds, or between clouds base and the Earth surface.

The motion of the cloud causes charging of clouds by friction, thus the reaction between opposite charges (jumping of charges from one cloud to another) in the cloud can lead to lightning. Also, oftentimes the bottom of a cloud is negatively charged so that this is attracted to the positive charge on the earth surface. Thus leading to a discharge called lightning.

Thus in the given question, the appropriate option is C. This implies that, lightning may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.
