Question
Water can form large dewdrops in nature. How droplets made of vegetable oil instead of water be different?
A. Oil can form the same large droplets as water because it has strong intermolecular forces.
B. Oil would form droplets, but only very tiny ones because its surface tension is lower than that of water.
C. Oil forms slicks, not droplets, because of its molecular structure.
D. All liquids will form the same large droplets that water does.

- A sea exhibit at an aquarium is 24 meters long and 11 meters deep with a glass wall. It is open to the air at the very top. i. What is the total pressure at the top of the tank (including atmospheric pressure)? ii. What is the total pressure at the bottom of the tank (including atmospheric pressure)? iii. The other side of the glass wall is at atmospheric pressure. What is the total net force on the wall? (hint: the pressure changes linearly as a function of depth, so you can use the average pressure to find the force)arrow_forward1.

- 5 How high would the level be in a gasoline-filled barometer (as shown in the figure below) at a pressure of 0.443 atm? The mass density of gasoline is 737 kg/m3. Assume that the vapor pressure of gasoline in the closed end of the barometer’s tube is negligible. Group of answer choices 60.9 m 6.21 m 4.58 m 14.0 m 2.77 marrow_forward3. Now you will design a pressure receptor. First, draw a circle on a piece of paper and then draw two or three lines from the center to beyond the perimeter of the circle. Imagine that the circle represents a balloon and the lines are threads, which are attached to the surface of the balloon. How would blowing into the balloon, to increase the pressure of the air inside, affect: a. The size of the balloon? b. The threads attached to the surface of the balloon? c. Imagine that the threads are the terminals and axons of sensory neurons. If the terminals are sensitive to stretch, what will happen to the frequency of the action potentials in the axons as the pressure inside the balloon is changed?arrow_forwardWhich liquid has the larger surface tension? A. Liquid A because it supports a greater weight per unit length B. Liquid B because it supports the same weight over a larger length C. The liquids have the same surface tension because they support the same weight D. It is impossible to compare the surface tensions of the liquids based on the given infoarrow_forward
