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

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
liraira [26]

For a wave:

v = fλ

v is the velocity, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

Assuming the velocity of the wave doesn't change...

If you increase its frequency, its wavelength will shorten.

According to Bernoulli's fluid formula a An increase in the speed will lower the internal pressure b An increase in the speed wi
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a An increase in the speed will lower the internal pressure

Explanation:

Bernoulli's fluid formula

P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2+\rho gh_1=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2+\rho gh_2

where

P = Pressure

ρ = Density of fluid

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height

v = Velocity of fluid

If there is no change in height then we get

P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\Rightarrow P+\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2=constant

According to the Bernoulli's principle when the speed of the fluid is larger in a region of streamline flow the pressure is smaller in that region. From the above equation it can be seen that increase in speed should simultaneously reduce pressure in order for their sum to be constant.

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.550 m . what is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground?
Alexxx [7]
Since my givens are x = .550m [Vsub0] = unknown
 [Asubx] = =9.80
 
 [Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]

[Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]) 

Vsubx is the final velocity, which at the max height is 0, and Xsub0 is just 0 as that's where it starts so I just plug the rest in

0^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[-9.80]*(.550)

0 = [Vsub0x]^2 -10.78

10.78 = [Vsub0x]^2

Sqrt(10.78) = 3.28 m/s
