Differentiate between adhesion and cohesion.

Physics
1 answer:
sergiy2304 [10]3 years ago
8 0
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Cohesion </h2>

Is the attraction that molecules have for others of their same type.

<h2>Adhesion </h2>

Is the attraction that molecules have for others of different type by  intermolecular forces.

A good example of both is water  that can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds (cohesion) and can also stick to a glass due to adhesion.

So, while Cohesion is the force of attraction between adjacent particles within the same body, Adhesion is the interaction between the surfaces of different bodies.

Diamond has an index of refraction of 2.419. What is the critical angle for internal reflection inside a diamond that is in air?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

C) 24.4°

Explanation:

let nd = 2.419 be the index of refraction of diamond and na  = 1.0 be the index of refraction of air  and ∅c be the critical angle.

according to Snell's Law:

sin(∅c) = na/nd

sin(∅c) = (1.0)/(2.419)

      ∅c = 24.4°

At baseball practice, Mason and Alfredo both picked up the same bat and neither would let go until one of them had it for himsel
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Option B. O because the net force was 5 N in Alfredo's direction

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, we shall determine the net force acting on the bat. This can be obtained as follow:

Force of pull by Mason (Fₘ) = 15 N

Force of pull by Alfredo (Fₐ) = 20 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = 20 – 15

Fₙ = 5 N in Alfredo's direction

From the calculation made above, we can see that the net force is 5N in Alfredo's direction. This is the reason why Alfredo end up having the bat.
