Answer:
hhere is your answer this might help u..
Explanation:
this is because..
mercury forms <u>convex meniscus</u>... with object.. which make it not to wet any type of surfaces..
but...
water forms <u>concave meniscus.</u>.. which act opposite like mercury and wets the body...
and another reason is that water has <em><u>adhesive</u></em> properties...
thanks for question
Answer:
Surface tension ____. a. is the inward force which tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid b. may be increased by detergents c. is decreased by hydrogen bonding d.
Note: option d is missing
The correct answer to the question is "option A (is the inward force which tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid)"
Explanation:
Surface tension is the most important for small fluid bodies. The surface comes under tension from the imbalanced forces and is often expressed as an amount of force exerted in the surface perpendicular to a line of unit length and it is a direct measure of energy loss per unit area of a surface.
The resistance that a surface shows against extension is a proof that an internal surface tension is present in the surface. Formula for measuring surface tension is: gamma equals force divided by length. The SI unit is newton per meter, dyne per centimeter is also used.
Water has a high surface tension because the water molecules on the surface are pulled together by strong hydrogen bonds. Surface tension of a liquid surface is that property of that liquid surface that makes it act like a stretched elastic sheet. Example of effect of surface tension on water is the flotation of objects denser than water, the separation of oil and water due to tension which arises in surface between dissimilar liquids. In the surface tension of liquid, the net force of attraction acting on the molecule is zero.
Metals are goods conductors of electricity because the electrons in the electrons sea are free to flow and carry electric currents. Metals are ductile and malleable because local bonds can be easily broken and reformed.
GPE = mgh (for objects close to earth where g can be considered to be constant) Where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity (which the question has told us to assume is 10ms^-2), and h is the height of the object.
Substituting the values in:
GPE = 70*10*10 = 7000J
