explain why when water is poured on a dry class slab it spreads uniformly but it forms spherical droplets on a waxed glass slab

Answer and Explanation:

The texture of the slabs affects the type of bonding the water molecules has with each other.

The dry glass slab allows the water to form cohesive bonds with each other, making the water stick to itself and not the slab, which makes it flow uniformly, or regularly.

The Waxed glass slab has a different texture that forms an adhesive-type bonding with water, making the water stick to the slab at certain parts/forming the spherical droplets.

A mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that $F \propto v^2$ , provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, $F_1$ , is

$F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F$

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.

sammy [17]

Answer:

1) Q ’= 8 Q , 2) q ’= 16 q , 3) r ’= ¾ r

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Coulomb's law

F = k q Q / r²

It asks us to calculate the change of any of the parameters so that the force is always F

Original values

q, Q, r

Scenario 1

q ’= 2q

r ’= 4r

F = k q ’Q’ / r’²

we substitute

F = k 2q Q ’/ (4r)²

F = k 2q Q '/ 16r²

we substitute the value of F

k q Q / r² = k q Q '/ 8r²

Q ’= 8 Q

Scenario 2

Q ’= Q

r ’= 4r

we substitute

F = k q ’Q / 16r²

k q Q / r² = k q’ Q / 16 r²

q ’= 16 q

Scenario 3

q ’= 3/2 q

Q ’= ⅜ Q

we substitute

k q Q r² = k (3/2 q) (⅜ Q) / r’²

r’² = 9/16 r²

r ’= ¾ r

A resistor, capacitor, and switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Initially, the s

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the terminal voltage of the battery.

Explanation:

This is because when a capacitor is charged no current or voltage flows through it so it will have a voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the battery
