2: It's not just the capillary action, but the pull from transpiration (the evaporation of water from the tree) that is used to pull water up from the roots.

The second question needs context. Strong bonds alone won't cause tension. I don't see how adhesion is different. High vapour pressure could do it, but it's the difference in pressures that'd cause tension (and the resistance of that pressure by the surface). So, a low and high pressure would be needed. Poorly worded question :( 

1: "Adhesion is the tendency of certain dissimilar molecules to cling together due to attractive forces." [1] 

3: The other three answere would not work. Think of a boat. 

3: If you push gas, it will be compressed(get smaller). If you push liquid it will push something else. Thus, liquids are good for transferring force. This is a hydraulic system.

A 1500kg car is travelling at v=30m/s. The cars kinetic energy is? *

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\text{D. 675000J}}$

Use the following formula to solve:

KE = 1/2mv², where:

KE = kinetic energy

m = mass (kg)

v = velocity (m/s)

Therefore:

KE = 1/2(1500)(30)²

KE = 1/2(1500)(900)

KE = 675000 J

What has more energy a 2 kg mass at 10 m/s or a 2 kg mass 5 m above the ground

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Both have same energy

Explanation:

Given:

Sample 1

Mass m = 2 kg

Velocity v = 10 m/s

Sample 2

Mass m = 2 kg

Height h = 5 m

Assume g = 10 m/s²

Find:

What has more energy

Computation:

In sample 1

Ke = 1/2(m)(v)²

Ke = 1/2(2)(10)²

Ke = 100 joule

In sample 2

Pe = mgh

Pe = (2)(10)(5)

Pe = 100 joules

Both have same energy
