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.

A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with speed v0. At the same instant, a second ball is dropped from rest from a heigh
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

a)t = H/v_0

b)H = v_0^2/g

Explanation:

Let the first ball throw be the point of reference, we can have following the equation of motion:

1st ball: h_1 = v_0t - gt^2/2

2nd ball: h_2 = H - gt^2/2

a)When the 2 balls collide they are at the same spot at the same time:

h_1 = h_2

v_0t - gt^2/2 = H - gt^2/2

v_0t = H

t = H/v_0

b) The first ball is at its highest point when v = 0. That is

t = v_0/g

After this time, the 2 balls would have traveled through a distance of

h_1 = v_0t - gt^2/2 = v_0^2/g - v_0^2/2g

h_2 = gt^2/2 = v_0^2/2g

SinceH = h_1 + h_2 we can solve for H

H = v_0^2/g - v_0^2/2g + v_0^2/2g = v_0^2/g

A 12 Volt lead-acid car battery, engineered for "up to 500 or more charge/discharge cycles," has a rating of 95.0 Ampere-hours.
Lena [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrical energy = potential x charge

potential = 12V ,

Charge = 95 amp-hours

= 95 x 60 x 60 coulomb

= 342000 coulomb

Electrical energy stored in battery  = 342000 x 12

= 4104000 J

= 4.1 x 10⁶ J .

A block of iron at 33.0°C has mass 2.30 kg. If 3.50×104 J of heat are transferred to the block, what is its resulting temperatur
spayn [35]

Answer:

66.8°C

Explanation:

dQ = m*cp*dT where:

m = mass of block

cp = specific heat of iron

dT = temperature change

-------

dQ = 3.5 10^4 J

cp = 0.45 Kj / Kg = 450 J / Kg

3.5 10^4 = 2.3 * 450 * dt-----dt = 35000 / 450 * 2.3 = 33.8 °

-------

Final temperature = 33 + 33.8 = 66.8 °C
