Application of surface tension:
1) A needle placed on water can be made to float due to the surface tension of water.
2) Mosquito eggs can float on water because of its surface tension.
3) Toothpaste contains soap, which reduce the surface tension and helps it spread freely in the mouth.
There are so many to choose from, I'll give you two. One is a big one. The other so/so. People used to believe the earth was flat and you would fall off, until Christopher Columbus sailed across. And another interesting one is the vulcan planet theory, which is that there was an extra planet between Mercury and T sun. however it turned out to be false. So there, need anymore just tell me.
Answer:
Potential Energy
Explanation:
Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to it's position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.
Answer:
It would take the object 5.4 s to reach the ground.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The equation of the height of a free-falling object at any given time, neglecting air resistance, is the following:
h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²
Where:
h = height of the object at time t.
h0 = initial height.
v0 = initial velocity.
g = acceleration due to gravity (-32.2 ft/s² considering the upward direction as positive).
t = time
Let´s supose that the object is dropped and not thrown so that v0 = 0. Then:
h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²
We have to find the time at which h = 0:
0 = 470 ft - 1/2 · 32.2 ft/s² · t²
Solving for t:
-470 ft = -16.1 ft/s² · t²
-470 ft / -16.1 ft/s² = t²
t = 5.4 s
