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.

In the aftermath of an intense earthquake, the earth as a whole "rings" with a period of 54 minutes.

The frequency of the oscillation in hertz is calculated to be 0.00031 Hz.

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of cycles completed per second while the period refers to the time taken to complete a cycle. The frequency is the inverse of period.

So;

Period(T) = 54 minutes or 3240 seconds

Frequency (f) = T-1 = 1/T = 1/3240 seconds = 0.00031 Hz

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all __________ waves because they __________.
algol [13]

Answer:

a. mechanical; require a medium to travel through

Explanation:

Longitudinal, transverse and surface waves are types of mechanical waves. For example, within the longitudinal waves are the sound waves, which needs a medium to propagate like the air. This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum.

And an example of a transverse wave is the waves that form in the water when a rock is thrown (ripples), these waves need a medium (the water) to propagate.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves such as light waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is why we can see the light of distant stars because their light travels through the vacuum until it reaches us.

So, the answer is:

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all mechanical waves because they require a medium to travel through .
