A liquid in a test tube has a curved surface such that the edges touching the glass are higher than the surface at the center. T

his must mean that the cohesive forces are less than the adhesive forces. True/False

Temka [501]3 years ago

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The cohesive forces of the liquid are greater than the adhesive forces hence the liquid is drawn inwards instead of spreading out. cohesion refers to the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind. it keeps molecules of the same kind together. It prevents the liquid from spreading out and wetting the glass hence the liquid will have a curved surface when in contact with the glass and this curved surface will be higher than the surface at the center. When the adhesive forces are greater, the curved surface will be lower than the surface at the center.

Why is it safe to watch an eclipse of the Moon but not an eclipse of the Sun
gavmur [86]
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon crosses in front of the Sun, blocking some or all of its rays. A lunar eclipse happens when the moon is directly behind the earth, blocking the moon from receiving light. The only light comes from the light on earth's reflected shadow.

You can look at a lunar eclipse because there is very little light or none at all. You can't look at a solar eclipse because you are looking directly at the sun unless it is complete. Before totality, only some of the Sun is blocked, causing your pupils dilate to let in more light. Since they do this, more of the Sun's rays can be let in to the eye, which effectively allows your eyes to burn. 

Some doctors and eye care specialists say that after someone complains of blindness after looking at a solar eclipse unaided, they can see what the Sun and moon looked like at the time that they looked at it, as it is burned onto their retinas.

A pitcher throws a softball toward home plate. When the ball hits the catcher’s mitt, its horizontal velocity is 32 meters/secon
n200080 [17]
To calculate the force of impact F, first lets calculate the acceleration a of the ball: 

a=v/t where v is the velocity of the ball and t is time

a=32/0.8=40 m/s²

To get the force F we need the Newtons second law:

F=m*a where m is the mass of the ball and a is the acceleration.

F=m*a= 0.2*40 = 8 N

So the impact force is F= 8 N.

A solid block of mass m2 = 1.14 kg, at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface, is connected to a relaxed spring (with spring
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

v = 1 m/s

Explanation:

from the principle of conservation of momentum, we have following relation

initial momentum = final momentum

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1}+m_{2})v^{2}

where

m1 = 1.14 kg

v1 = 2.0 m/s

m2 = 1.14 kg

v2  = 0 m/s

putting all value in the above equation

1.14 *2.0+ 0 =(1.14+1.14)v^{2}

v =\frac{1.14*2.0}{1.14+1.14}

v = 1 m/s
