abruzzese [7]4 years ago
7 0

Hello!

Answer-  Capillary action and evaporation. 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. This is why the correct answer is option C) capillary action and evaporation.

Hope this helps! Have a great day,

A 2-kg object is initially at the bottom of a long 50° inclined plane, and is beginning to slide up this inclined plane. The ini
Over [174]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of object m=2 kg

inclination \theta =50^{\circ}

\mu _k=0.3

\mu _s=0.4

initial velocity u=3 m/s

acceleration of block during upward motion

a=g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta

a=g(\sin 50-0.3\cos 50)

a=5.617 m/s^2

using relation

v^2-u^2=2a\cdot s

where s=distance\ moved

v=final\ velocity

v=0 because block stopped after moving distance s

0-(3)^2=2\cdot (-5.617)\cdot s

s=\frac{4.5}{5.617}

s=0.801

If block stopped after s m then force acting on block is

F=mg\sin \theta =friction force f_r=\mu mg\cos \theta

F>f_r therefore block will slide back down to the bottom

A fishing boat drags a net for 25 seconds, doing 3500 Joules of work. How much power was the boat using?
Blizzard [7]
The equation for power is P=w/t, where w=work done in joules and t=time in seconds. 

in this case:

p=w/t
p=3500/25 
p=140

so, the boat was using 140 watts of power.

When talking about Acceleration ,what is significant about the about the sign(+ or -)?​
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Acceleration at its most basic is the act of increasing your running speed. From a standing start (or blocks), you explode into action. If you’re already running, you pick up the pace. Acceleration continues until you can no longer increase your speed, at which point you achieve maximum velocity (top-end speed). Acceleration seems simple enough. The plus means your increasing speed, the k=minus means your decreasing in speed.

An explosion occurs 34 km away. the time it takes for its sound to reach your ears, traveling at 340 m/s, is
Murrr4er [49]
Let's convert the distance in meters first:
d=34 km=34000 m=3.4 \cdot 10^4 m
The sound wave travels at speed 
v=340 m/s
So we can use the basic relationship between space, time and velocity to calculate the time it takes for the sound to reach our ears:
t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{3.4 \cdot 10^4 m}{340 m/s}=100 s

1. While John is traveling along an interstate highway, he notices a 160-mile marker as he passes through town. Later John passe
pogonyaev

Number of miles that marker shows when passes through town= 160 miles.

Number of miles that marker shows currently to John = 115 miles.

We need to find the distance between town and John's current location.

For the problem, we can clearly see that Town is at 160 miles away but when John passes the marker shows 115 miles.

So, it's just the difference between 160 miles and 115 miles.

In order to find that difference, we need to subtract those two numbers.

160miles - 115miles = 45 miles.

So, we could say the distance between town and John's current location is 45 miles.
