Transpiration is water loss through the root. True False

1 answer:

3 0

False. Transpiration is best defined as water loss from aerial plant parts, or in other words, the leaves. Up to 99% of the water absorbed by roots is lost through transpiration through plant leaves.

I hope this answer helped you! If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask! :)

A penny is kicked horizontally off the roof of a 10-story building (33.3 m high) and lands 52 m away on the ground. A) what is t

yanalaym [24]

A) The penny was kicked horizontally off the building. By this very statement, the penny had 0 initial vertical velocity.

B) Apply the following kinematics equation to the penny's vertical motion:

D = Vt + 0.5At²

D = vertical distance traveled, t = time, V = initial vertical velocity, A = vertical acceleration

Given values:

D = 33.3m, V = 0m/s, A = 9.81m/s²

Plug in and solve for t:

33.3 = 4.905t²

t = 2.61s

C) The penny fell for 2.61 seconds, therefore it moved horizontally for 2.61 seconds.

v = x/t

v = horizontal velocity, x = horizontal distance traveled, t = time

Given values:

x = 52m, t = 2.61s

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 52/2.61

v = 19.9m/s

D) Let's calculate the penny's vertical speed right before it hits the ground:

v = at

v = final vertical speed, a = vertical acceleration, t = time

Given values:

a = 9.81m/s², t = 2.61s

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 9.81(2.61)

v = 25.6m/s

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the final speed:

V = √(Vx²+Vy²)

V = final speed, Vx = final horizontal speed, Vy = final vertical speed

Given values:

Vx = 19.9m/s, Vy = 25.6m/s

Plug in and solve for V:

V = √(19.9²+25.6²)

V = 32.4m/s

A cart, which has a mass of m - 2.50 kg, is sitting at the top of an inclined plane which is 3.30 meters long and which meets th

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Part(i) the time taken for this cart to reach the bottom of the inclined plane is 1.457 s

Part(ii) the velocity of the cart when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane is 4.531 m/s

Part(iii) the kinetic energy of the cart when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane is 25.663 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the cart = 2.5 kg

angle of inclination, β = 18.5⁰

length of inclined plane = 3.3m

Part(i) the time taken for this cart to reach the bottom of the inclined plane

s = ut + ¹/₂×at²

initial vertical velocity, u = 0

s = 3.3 m

s = ¹/₂×at²

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} }$

acceleration, of the cart, a = gsinβ

a = 9.8sin(18.5) = 3.11 m/s²

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2X3.3}{3.11 }}= 1.457 s$

Part(ii) the velocity of the cart when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane

V = a×t

V = 3.11 × 1.457 = 4.531 m/s

Part(iii) the kinetic energy of the cart when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane

KE = ¹/₂MV²

= ¹/₂ × 2.5× (4.531)²

= 25.663 J

A force of 16.88 n is applied tangentially to a wheel of radius 0.340 m and causes an angular acceleration of 1.20 rad/s2. What

telo118 [61]

Answer:

4.78 kg/m^2.

Explanation:

τ = Iα

Where,

τ = torque, around a defined axis (N∙m)

I = moment of inertia (kg∙m2)

α = angular acceleration

= 1.2 rad/s^2

τ = F * r

= 16.88 * 0.34

= 5.74 N.m

Therefore, I = 5.74/1.2

= 4.78 kg/m2

A stream of water strikes a stationary turbine blade horizontally, as the drawing illustrates. The incident water stream has a v

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

F = 1908 N

Explanation:

GIVEN,

Incident water stream has a velocity = U = +18.0 m/s,

Exiting water stream has a velocity = V = -18.0 m/s.

Mass of water per sec : M / t = 53 kg /s

Change in velocity d v =18 m / s – ( -18 m / s)

= 36 m / s

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade

F = ( M / t ) x dv

=( 53 kg /s ) x ( 36 m/s )

F = 1908 N
