How temperature, surface tension and the diameter of the tube affect capillary action.​

Physics
1 answer:
Alexus [3.1K]2 years ago
5 0

The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules. ... Water wants to stick to the glass and surface tension will push the water up, until the force of gravity prevents further rise.

Narrower tube openings allow capillary action to pull water higher

A force of 30 N stretches a very light ideal spring 0.73 m from equilibrium. What is the force constant (spring constant) of the
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = k*n

F = 30N

k = ???

N = 0.73 M

F = k* N

30N = k * 0.73

k = 30N / 0.73

k = 41.1

A current of 1.41 A in a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field of 5.61 uT at a certain distance from the wire. Find
pshichka [43]

Answer:

0.050 m

Explanation:

The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

where

\mu_0=4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} H/m is the vacuum permeability

I is the current in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

And the magnetic field around the wire forms concentric circles, and it is tangential to the circles.

In this problem, we have:

I=1.41 A (current in the wire)

B=5.61\mu T=5.61\cdot 10^{-6} T (strength of magnetic field)

Solving  for r, we find the distance  from the wire:

r=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi B}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})(1.41)}{2\pi (5.61\cdot 10^{-6})}=0.050 m

An object with velocity 141 ft/s has a kinetic energy of 1558.71 ft∙lbf, on a planet whose gravity is 31.5 ft/s2. What is its
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the object, K.E = 1558.71 ft.lbf

velocity of the object, V = 141 ft/s

The kinetic energy of the object is calculated as;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} mV^2\\\\mV^2 = 2K.E\\\\m = \frac{2K.E}{V^2} \\\\1 \ lbf = 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2\\\\m  = \frac{2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ ft.lbf \ \times \ 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2 }{(141 \ ft/s)2 \ \  \times \ \ \ \ 1   \ lbf\ }

m  = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71  \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm.ft^2/s^2 }{(141 )^2\ ft^2/s^2 }\\\\m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71  \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm }{(141 )^2 }\\\\m = 5.045 \ lbm

Therefore, the mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.
