Answer:

2 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

The length of a wire, l = 15 m

Force on the wire, F = 60 N

Surface tension on the liquid, S = ?

The formula to solve this problem is given as

F = S * 2 L, where

F = force on the liquid

S = surface tension of the liquid

L= length of the wire

On substituting the values of each, we have

60 = S * (2 * 15)

S = 60 / 30

S = 2 N/m

Thus, we can say then, that the surface tension of the liquid is 2 N/m

A. Radiation, conduction

B.
*Radiation will occur between the mug of hot tea and the room
*conduction will occur between the mug of hot tea and the table

C. The table as well as the surrounding air will become warmer.
This is because heat is given off from the mug of hot tea.

Why is it important for a muscle to be attached to a fixed origin at one end and a moving insertion at the other? Discuss how th
vlabodo [156]
Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.

Sunlight has its maximum intensity at a wavelength of 4.83 x 10'm; wha energy does this correspond to in e?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

E = 2,575 eV

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the Planck equation and the relationship of the speed of light with the frequency and wavelength

     E = h f

     c = λ f

Where the Planck constant has a value of 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s

Let's replace

    E = h c / λ

Let's calculate for wavelengths

    λ = 4.83 10-7 m     (blue)

    E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / 4.83 10⁻⁷

    E = 4.12 10-19 J

The transformation from J to eV is 1 eV = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E = 4.12 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

    E = 2,575 eV
