How does water get to the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity

Physics

Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.

Archy [21]

Answer:

The total amount  after 3 years is = $ 2054.10

Explanation:

Given data

Principal Amount (P) = $ 1800

Rate of interest (R) = 4.5 %

Thus the total amount after 3 years compounded annually is given by the formula =  P × [1 +\frac{R}{100}  ]^{3}

⇒ 1800 × [1 +\frac{4.5}{100}  ]^{3}

⇒ 2054.10

Thus the total amount  after 3 years is = $ 2054.10

Compound interest earned in three years = 2054.10 - 1800 = $ 254.10

A diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat at an angle of 30° relative to the normal. If the index of
son4ous [18]

Answer:

<h2>35</h2>

Explanation:

According to snell's law which states that the ratio of the sin of incidence (i) to the angle of refraction(n) is a constant for a given pair of media.

sini/sinr = n

n is the constant = refractive index

Since the diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat, the refractive index n = nw/ng

nw is the refractive index of water and ng is that of glass

sini/sinr = nw/ng

given i = 30°, nw = 1.33, ng = 1.5, r = angle the light leave the glass

On substitution;

sin 30/sinr = 1.33/1.5

1.5sin30 = 1.33sinr

sinr = 1.5sin30/1.33

sinr = 0.75/1.33

sinr = 0.5639

r = arcsin0.5639

r ≈35°

angle the light leave the glass is 35°

Explain the statement: “Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.”
babymother [125]

All living things are made up of cells.  Each cell's individual function helps the organism collectively function.  They are the most basic as they can be self-contained.  And there is no other particle smaller that can function on it's own.
