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.

Work is done on a locked door that remains closed while you try to pull it open. True False.

dsp73

Answer:False

Explanation:

Work is being done on a body when it causes displacement of body on the application of force

$Work\ done=Force\times displacement$

When we pull the door by a force it causes zero displacements of the door. So we can say that work done on it is zero.

Thus the above-given statement is false

Consider the following cyclic process carried out in two steps on a gas. Step 1: 44 J of heat is added to the gas, and 20. J of

notka56 [123]

Answer:37 J

Explanation:

Given

Step :1

Heat added Q=44 J

Work done=-20 J

$\Delta E_1=Q+W=44-20=24 J$

Step :2

Heat added Q=-61 J

work done $W_2$

$\Delta E_2=Q+W_2$

$\Delta E_2=61+W_2$

$\Delta E_1+\Delta E_2=0$

as the process is cyclic

$44-20-61+W_2=0$

$W_2=37 J$

work done in compression is 37 J

If santa slides 5.00 m before reaching the edge, what is his speed as he leaves the roof?

AveGali [126]

Even with no friction, it depends on the slope of the roof. That is, it depends on how much elevation (altitude) he loses during the slide.

Whatever that number is ... call it 'h' ... Santa's speed when he reaches the edge is

Square root of (19.6h) meters per second.

It doesn't matter how much he weighs, or how far he has slud. Only how much altitude he lost on the slope while sliding.

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of (a) a mass of 1.0 g traveling at 1.0 m s−1 , (b) the same, traveling at 1.00 × 105 km s−1

lesantik [10]

Answer:

a) $\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m$

b) $\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m$

c) $\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m$

d) $\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}$ m

e)λ=∞

Explanation:

De Broglie discovered that an electron or other mass particles can have a wavelength associated, and that wavelength (λ) is:

$\lambda=\frac{h}{P}=\frac{h}{mv}$

with h the Plank's constant ( $6.63\times10^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}$ ) and P the momentum of the object that is mass (m) times velocity (v).

a) $\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}kg*1.0)}$

$\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m$

b) $\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}*(1.00\times10^{8}))}$

$\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m$

c) $\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(6.65\times10^{-27}*1000)}$

$\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m$

d) $\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*2.22)}$

$\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}$ m

e) $\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*0)}$

λ=∞
