Welll, yes, but only for an instant. A rock or baseball tossed straight up is accelerated by gravity, and when it reaches the very peak and starts to fall, it's velocity is zero at that instant.
The moon is closer to the earth and the pull of gravity is reliant on distance.
Answer : The correct option is, (D) Surface tension is caused by cohesion between water molecules on the surface.
Explanation :
Surface tension : It is caused by the cohesion between water molecules on the surface or we can say that it is a tension of the surface of liquid caused by the attraction of the particles which are present on the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area.
And due to the surface tension phenomena the shape of the water molecule tend to assume a spherical shape to attain the minimum surface area.
Hence. the correct option is, (D) Surface tension is caused by cohesion between water molecules on the surface.
Answer:
Speed is a scalar quantity it has only magnitude. So in the given scenario the student actually described about the velocity.
Explanation:
In this situation, student is describing that the speed is -10 m/s. The speed with the negative sign is wrong because speed is a scalar quantity and scalar quantities have only magnitude, they do not have direction. So, his statement is wrong because he is describing the speed with the negative sign.
And also we know that velocity is a vector quantity, so it has magnitude as well as direction also. So in this situation, the student is actually want to describe the velocity because he is mentioning the magnitude in a particular direction.
