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

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.

At the same instant that a 0.50-kg ball is dropped from 25 m above Earth, a second ball, with a mass of 0.25 kg, is thrown strai
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.

Explanation:

<u>Motion of 0.50 kg ball:</u>

Initial speed, u = 0 m/s

Time = 2 s

Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

Initial height = 25 m

Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 s = 0 x 2 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 19.62 m

Height above ground = 25 - 19.62 = 5.38 m

<u>Motion of 0.25 kg ball:</u>

Initial speed, u = 15 m/s

Time = 2 s

Acceleration = -9.81 m/s²

Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 s = 15 x 2 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 10.38 m

Height above ground = 10.38 m

We have equation for center of gravity

          \bar{x}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

          m₁ = 0.50 kg

          x₁ = 5.38 m        

          m₂ = 0.25 kg

          x₂ = 10.38 m    

Substituting

         \bar{x}=\frac{0.50\times 5.38+0.25\times 10.38}{0.50+0.25}=7.05m

The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.
