The large leaves help it survive as they serve as the organ for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.
During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds

Leaves provide food and air to help a plant stay healthy and grow. Through photosynthesis, leaves turn light energy into food.
Through pores, or stomata, leaves breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Leaves also release excess water.
Most leaves are broad and so have a large surface area allowing them to absorb more light
A thin shape means a short distance for carbon dioxide to diffuse in and oxygen to diffuse out easily.
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf occurs through pores called stomata.
Normally stomata open when the light strikes the leaf in the morning and close during the night.

Answer:

a) y = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m = 0.24 cm

b) y = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m = 0.32 cm

Explanation:

The formula of Young's Double Slit experiment will be used here:

$y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\$

where,

y = distance between dark spots = ?

λ = wavelength

L = distance of screen = 2 m

d = slit width = 4 x 10⁻⁴ m

a) FOR λ = 480 nm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁷ m:

$y = \frac{(4.8\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{4\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}$

y = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m = 0.24 cm

a) FOR λ = 640 nm = 6.4 x 10⁻⁷ m:

$y = \frac{(6.4\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{4\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}$

y = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m = 0.32 cm

The Pacific is loosely shaped like a triangle, opening widely to the south but barely at all to the north, while the Atlantic is shaped like an hourglass with the choke point located very loosely at the equator (somewhat south of it in the west).

Water, initially saturated vapor at 4 bar, fills a closed, rigid container. The water is heated until its temperature is 360°C.

salantis [7]

Explanation:

Using table A-3, we will obtain the properties of saturated water as follows.

Hence, pressure is given as p = 4 bar.

$u_{1} = u_{g}$ = 2553.6 kJ/kg

$v_{1} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$

At state 2, we will obtain the properties. In a closed rigid container, the specific volume will remain constant.

Also, the specific volume saturated vapor at state 1 and 2 becomes equal. So, $v_{2} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$

According to the table A-4, properties of superheated water vapor will obtain the internal energy for state 2 at $v_{2} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$ and temperature $T_{2} = 360^{o}C$ so that it will fall in between range of pressure p = 5.0 bar and p = 7.0 bar.

Now, using interpolation we will find the internal energy as follows.

$u_{2} = u_{\text{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}} + (\frac{v_{2} - v_{\text{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}}}{v_{\text{at 7 bar, 400^{o}C - v_{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}}}})(u_{at 7 bar, 400^{o}C - u_{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}})$
