Anton [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Direction

Explanation:

A vector is a geometrical representation of physical quantity. It has a particular direction with a specific magnitude.

In the geometry of space whether it is two dimensional or three dimensional the vector quantity has a specific direction. Such as a stone is thrown with a velocity in a particular direction.

The path of the stone in three-dimension shows its direction and speed is its magnitude.  

Hence, the velocity of stone has two property magnitude mentioned as speed and particular direction.

On writing the mathematical expressions for vectors, it is denoted by arrow mark on its top as shown below.

                          \vec{A}

How does the physical structure of a plant have<br> Large leaves help it survive?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The large leaves help it survive as they serve as the<u> organ for photosynthesis.</u>

Explanation:

  • Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.
  • During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds
  • Leaves provide food and air to help a plant stay healthy and grow. Through photosynthesis, leaves turn light energy into food.
  • Through pores, or stomata, leaves breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Leaves also release excess water.
  • Most leaves are broad and so have a large surface area allowing them to absorb more light
  • A thin shape means a short distance for carbon dioxide to diffuse in and oxygen to diffuse out easily.
  • The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf occurs through pores called stomata.
  • Normally stomata open when the light strikes the leaf in the morning and close during the night.

A rain cloud contains 5.32 × 107 kg of water vapor. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . How long would it take for a 2.0
Alja [10]

Answer:

20.85 years

Explanation:

2.61 km = 2610 m

2.07 kW = 2070 W

First we need to calculate the potential energy required to take m = 5.32 * 10^7 kg of rain cloud to an altitude of 2610 m is

E = mgh = 5.32 * 10^7 * 9.81 * 2610 = 1.4*10^{12}J

With a P = 2070 W power pump, this can be done within a time frame of

t = E/P = \frac{1.4*10^{12}}{2070} = 658037739 s

or 658037739/(60*60) = 182788 hours or 182788 / 24 = 7616 days or 7616 / 365.25 = 20.85 years
