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 cylindrical capacitor has an inner conductor of radius 2.7 mmmm and an outer conductor of radius 3.1 mmmm. The two conductors
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

(A) Capacitance per unit length = 4.02 \times 10^{-10}

(B) The magnitude of charge on both conductor is Q = 4.22 \times 10^{-19} C and the sign of charge on inner conductor is +Q and the sign on outer conductor is -Q

Explanation:

Given :

Radius of inner part of conductor  (R_{1}) = 2.7 \times 10^{-3} m

Radius of outer part of conductor  (R_{2}) = 3.1 \times 10^{-3} m

The length of the capacitor (l) = 3 \times 10^{-3} m

(A)

Capacitance is purely geometrical property. It depends only on length, radius of conductor.

From the formula of cylindrical capacitor,      

     C = \frac{2\pi\epsilon_{o} l }{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } }

Where, \epsilon_{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

But we need capacitance per unit length so,

     \frac{C}{l}  = \frac{2\pi\epsilon_{o}  }{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } }

capacitance per unit length = \frac{6.28 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} }{ln(1.148)} = 4.02 \times 10^{-10}

(B)

The charge on both conductors is given by,

     Q = C \Delta V

Where, C = capacitance of cylindrical capacitor and value of C = 12.06 \times 10^{-13} F, \Delta V = 350 \times 10^{-3} V

∴ Q = 4.22 \times 10^{-19} C

The magnitude of charge on both conductor is same as above but the sign of charge is different.

Charge on inner conductor is +Q and Charge on outer conductor is -Q.

Why type of energy is present after a solar panel changes forms?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Explanation:

Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage.

An object falls from a high building and hits the ground in 8.0 seconds. Ignoring air resistance, what is the distance that it f
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

310 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 8.0 s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (8.0 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (8.0 s)²

Δy = -313.6

Rounded to two significant figures, the object fell 310 meters.
