Water is said to travel from the roots of a tree to the uppermost branches via capillary action. assuming that the smallest capi

llaries observed in plant material have diameters of 20 µm and that the surface tension of water is 0.065 n/m, how high can water rise in such a capillary? what does your answer say about the mechanism in question?

<span>Water  molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. Cohesion helps plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. This transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. Transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.</span>

A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series across an ideal battery having a constant voltage across its terminals. Long
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage.

Explanation:

When the capacitor is fully charged after long hours of charging , its  potential becomes equal to the emf of the battery and its polarity is opposite to that of battery . Hence net emf becomes equal . The capacitor itself becomes a battery which is connected in the circuit with opposite polarity . This results in the net emf and  current becoming zero . There is no charging current when the capacitor is fully charged .

12. A volcano erupts on Earth's surface causing a piece of rock with a mass of 95 kg to be ejected from rest to an acceleration
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The force exerted on the rock by the eruption is, D. 902.5 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the rock ejected by the volcano, m = 95 kg

The acceleration of the ejected rock, a 9.5 m/s²

The force acting on an object is defined as the product of the mass and its acceleration. It is given by the relation,

                                 F = m x a

                                    = 95 x 9.5

                                    = 902.5 N

Hence, the force exerted on the rock by the eruption is, F = 902.5 N

A student connects a 1 hp motor to a bicycle. How much time will it take for the bicycle to accelerate from rest to a speed of 5
bija089 [108]

Answer:

t=2s

Explanation:

The definition of power is:

P=\frac{W}{t}

And the work-energy theorem states that:

W=\Delta K

Since the movement starts from rest, we have that:

\Delta K=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}

And putting all together:

P=\frac{mv_f^2}{2t}

Since we want the time taken:

t=\frac{mv_f^2}{2P}

Which for our values is:

t=\frac{(120kg)(5m/s)^2}{2(746W)}=2s

Ket [755]
She can first measure the mass on the scale, then measure the cm^3 by putting water in the cylinder and measuring the original water level minus the water level after you put the rock in. The take the measurement from the scale (g) and divide it by the measurement in the graduated cylinder (c^3).
