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.

The upward force exerted on an object falling through air is _____.
stira [4]

(C) Air Resistance

<u>Explanation:</u>

When an object falls through air, air resistance acts on it in upward direction. When air resistance acts, acceleration during a fall will be less than g because air resistance affects the motion of the falling objects by slowing it down. Air resistance depends on two important factors - the speed of the object and its surface area. Increasing the surface area of an object decreases its speed.

A long line of charge with uniform linear charge density λ1 is located on the x-axis and another long line of charge with unifor
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

A.The positive z-direction

Explanation:

We are given that

Linear charge density of long line which is  located on the x-axis=\lambda_1

Linear charge density of another long line which is  located on the y-axis=\lambda_2

We have to find the direction of electric field at z=a on the positive z-axis if \lambda_1 and \lambda_2 are positive.

The direction of electric field  at z=a on the positive z-axis  is positive z-direction .

Because \lambda_1 and \lambda_2 are positive and the electric field is  applied away from the positive charge.

Hence, option A is true.

A.The positive z-direction

A suspended object A is attracted to a charged object B, can one conclude that A is charged? Explain
irinina [24]

Explanation:

In my view, when the Object A is attracted to a Charged object B. Object B should be Negatively or Positively charged. So Object B should be the Opposite charged according to the Object B

Example =

If Object B is Negatively Charged, the Object A should be Positively Charged

If the Object B is Positively Charged, the Object A should be Negatively Charged

Sometimes it can Mix as a Neutral as well

Hope this Helps

How much pressure is on the bottom of a pot that holds 20N of soup? the surface area of the pot is 0.05m2
fomenos

Answer:

400

Explanation:

Formula used in solution:

P = \frac{F}{A}

P - pressure,\: F - force,\:  A - area

The given information:

F = 20N

A = 0.05m^{2}

Solution

P = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{20}{0.05} = 20 * 20 = 400

Answer:

Pressure = 400 \: Pascals

Define couple and give 2 examples
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line, form a couple. A couple is always needed to produce the rotation.

For example, turning a key in a lock and turning a steering wheel.
