Explain briefly where the energy come from when a liquid Rises against Gravity in a capillary tube​

Physics
1 answer:
SSSSS [86.1K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Surface tension

Explanation:

When liquid rises against gravity in a capillary tube, the energy comes from surface tension.

This is because surface tension is the energy that's needed to increase the liquid surface area.

As a result of hydrogen bonding present in Water, it usually has high surface tension which makes it to possess a tough skin that can make it not to break despite high forces applied to it.

The liquid will be in contact with the capillary tube and as such experiences surface tension which in turn makes the capillary tube to experience an upward force that makes the liquid begin to rise up.

The more the liquid keeps rising, the more it gets to the point where the surface tension becomes balanced from the weight of the liquid.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is the solution. I hope the answer will help. 

<span>Cl^- 1s^2 2s^2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 1s^2 2s^2p^6 S = 10; 3s^2 3p^6 S = 0 </span>
<span>Zeff = Z-S = 17- 10 =7 </span>
<span>K^+ 1s^2 2s^2p^6 3s^2 3p^6; 1s^2 2s^2p^6 S = 10; 3s^2 3p^6 S = 0 </span>
<span>Zeff = Z-S = 19- 10 = 9 
</span>
S = 2 + 6.8 + 2.45 = 11.25 
<span>Zeff(Cl^-) = 17 – 11.25 = 5.75 </span>
<span>K^+ 1s^2 2s^2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 same S as for Cl^- but Z increases by 2 hence </span>
<span>Zeff(K^+) = 19 - 11.25 = 7.75</span>

A total Δν of 15 km/s is required to achieve an interplanetary mission. The proposed rocket has two stages. The first stage alon
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

102000 kg

Explanation:

Given:

A total Δν = 15 km/s

first stage mass = 1000 tonnes

specific impulse of liquid rocket =  300 s

Mass flow rate of liquid fuel = 1500 kg/s

specific impulse of solid fuel = 250 s

Mass flow of solid fuel = 200 kg/s

First stage burn time = 1 minute = 1 × 60 seconds = 60 seconds

Now,

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

or

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = 1500 × 60 = 90000 kg

Also,

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

or

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = 200 × 60 = 12000 kg

Therefore,

The total jettisoned mass flow of the fuel in first stage

= 90000 kg +  12000 kg

= 102000 kg
