2: It's not just the capillary action, but the pull from transpiration (the evaporation of water from the tree) that is used to pull water up from the roots.
<span>The second question needs context. Strong bonds alone won't cause tension. I don't see how adhesion is different. High vapour pressure could do it, but it's the difference in pressures that'd cause tension (and the resistance of that pressure by the surface). So, a low and high pressure would be needed. Poorly worded question :( </span>
<span>1: "Adhesion is the tendency of certain dissimilar molecules to cling together due to attractive forces." [1] </span>
<span>3: The other three answere would not work. Think of a boat. </span>
<span>3: If you push gas, it will be compressed(get smaller). If you push liquid it will push something else. Thus, liquids are good for transferring force. This is a hydraulic system.</span>
Answer:
Starting from the beginning.
There is a radio signal that is received by the radio.
The radio interprets the signal and produces a current in response to it.
That current goes to a membrane that oscillates producing sound, the oscillation of the membrane is the first mechanical energy event here.
These oscillations can travel in material mediums, for example, the air. Then there is a production of waves (soundwaves) that travel in the air (second event).
Those waves now hit the wall that separates you and your neighbor, as the wall is made of a material, the soundwaves can travel through it, but they will be dispersed (a part of the waves rebounds on the wall, and another part is dissipated as the wave travels through the wall), there is also a transmitted part of the wave, that is now in your house. (this change of medium will be the third event). Now only the lower frequencies survive, this is why the sound is "muffled".
Those remaining frequencies now travel in your house, and when they reach your ear, your ear sends a signal to your brain and your brain interprets them as sound. The wave interacting with your ear will be the fourth and last mechanical energy event.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Heat required, Q = 1200 J
Mass of the object, m = 20 kg
The increase in temperature, 
We need to find the specific heat of the object. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :
So, the specific heat of the object is 
.
Earth's gravity and the satellite's velocity keeps it so that it stays in orbit. (there is a more complicated side, too...)
A good heat insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the heat energy
from any heat that flows through it.
A good electrical insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the energy
from any electric current that flows through it.
