vovangra [49]

Adhesive.

Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.

When the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.

Arisa [49]

The first law states that “objects at rest and objects in motion remain in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force”. Keeping the ice smooth will make sure there is not friction, friction would slow the puck down

A charge of q= +15 uC moves in a Northeast direction with a speed 5 m/s, 25 degrees East of a magnetic field, pointing North, wi

grin007 [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnitude of charge, $q=15\ \mu C=15\times 10^{-6}\ C$

It moves in northeast direction with a speed of 5 m/s, 25 degrees East of a magnetic field.

Magnetic field, $B=0.08\ j$

Velocity, $v=(5\ cos25)i+(5\ sin25)j$

$v=[(4.53)i+(2.11)j]\ m/s$

We need to find the magnitude of force on the charge. Magnetic force is given by :

$F=q(v\times B)$

$F=15\times 10^{-6}[(4.53i+2.11j)\times 0.08\ j]$

<em>Since</em>, $i\times j=k\ and\ j\times j=0$

$F=15\times 10^{-6}[(4.53i)\times (0.08)\ j]$

$F=0.00000543\ kN$

$F=5.43\times 10^{-6}\ kN$

So, the force acting on the charge is $5.43\times 10^{-6}\ kN$ and is moving in positive z axis. Hence, this is the required solution.

How is the pressure of a gas related to its concentration of particles?A) Pressure will expand a gas, enlarging its volume and r

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

C) Pressure will compress a gas, reducing its volume and giving it a greater density and concentration of particles.

Explanation:

At constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely related.

P V = constant

$\Rightarrow P \propto \frac{1}{V}$

As the pressure increases, the gas compresses, the particles come closer reducing the volume of gas.

As we know, with decrease in volume, density increases.

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$Density \propto \frac{1}{Volume}$

Thus, the pressure of a gas is directly related to concentration of particles. Increase in pressure causes increase in concentration of the particles.
