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

What is the calculation for elastic potential?
grin007 [14]
Elastic potential energy is equal to the force times the distance of movement. Elastic potential energy = force x distance of displacement. Because the force is = spring constant x displacement, then the Elastic potential energy = spring constant x displacement squared.

A uniform rod of length L, mass M, is suspended by two thin strings. Which of the following statements is true
Fantom [35]

Answer:

(d) not enough info

Explanation:

because it doesn't specify where the strings are attached

if it was the two ends of the rod then T1 would be equal to T2

What the name for the phenomenon of inducing voltage by changing the magnetic field around a conductor?
8090 [49]

The phenomenon of inducing voltage by changing the magnetic field around a conductor will be Electromagnetic Induction. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is the Faraday law of electromagnetic induction?</h3>

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the rate of change of magnetic flux link with the coil is responsible for generating emf in the coil to result in the flow of amount of current .

So in order to increase the current, we need to increase the EMF;

so we can increase it by;

1) Increasing the number of turns

2) Increase the area of the loop

3) By moving the magnet faster

Hence, option B is correct.

To learn more about Faraday law of electromagnetic induction:

Explain why more stars are circumpolar for observers at higher latitudes.
PIT_PIT [208]

Explanation:

When you observe the night sky you will notice that the stars are moving. They rise from eastern horizon and set in the western horizon. It happens due to rotation of Earth. When observed closely you will notice that the all the stars seem to go around the pole star. Out of all the stars there are some stars which neither set not rise, such stars are called as Circumpolar stars. This means that they are always above the horizon. If we trace the path of such stars they will appear to make complete circle around the pole star.

Also, you will notice that the altitude of pole star (separation of pole star from the horizon in degrees) will depend on the location of observe on the Earth. This happens due to Earth being spherical. So if you are on equator the pole star will be on the horizon i.e. 0° altitude. If you are at Poles, altitude of the pole star will be 90°. Technically the altitude of pole star at any place on Earth is equal to the latitude of the place.

If the altitude of pole star varies and increases as you move towards higher latitude on Earth, the distance between horizon and pole star will also increase. This will result in more stars being circumpolar.

If you are at Poles, all the stars will be circumpolar and if you are at equator no star will be circumpolar.
