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

2 answers:

4 0

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.

A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.60 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 3.80 mm . If the separ

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Part a)

$E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J$

Part b)

$E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J$

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of capacitor when it is not connected to potential source is given as

$U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$

As we know that initial energy is given as

$8.60 = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$

now we know that capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is given as

$C = \frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}$

now the new capacitance when distance is changed from 3.80 mm to 1.45 mm

$C' = \frac{Cd}{d'}$

$C' = \frac{C(3.80)}{1.45}$

$C' = 2.62 C$

Now the new energy of the capacitor is given as

$E = \frac{Q^2}{2(2.62C)}$

$E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J$

Part b)

Now if the voltage difference between the plates of capacitor is given constant

now the energy energy of capacitor is

$U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$

$8.60 = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$

now when capacitance is changed to new value then new energy is given as

$E = \frac{1}{2}C'V^2$

$E = \frac{1}{2}(2.62C)V^2$

$E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J$

c. Wind power can turn turbines to generate electrical power.

Explanation:

The correct statement of all is that wind power can turn turbines to generate electrical power.

This is simply the way wind energy from waves are usually harnessed to produce electricity.

When a metallic conductor passes in between magnetic fields, it induces and generates electricity as it turns.
This is how electricity generating plants are fashioned.
Geothermal energy is not generated from moving water. It is produced from heat within the earth brought to the surface. Power from moving water is hydroelectric power.
Oil is a non-renewable resource
Propane is a non-renewable resource

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°

Explanation:

According to Snell's Law,

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n

n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)

Note that from trigonometric relations,

Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁

n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁

(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1

tan θ₁ = 1

θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°

Hope this Helps!!!
