The leaves of a tree lose water to the atmosphere via the process of transpiration. A particular tree loses water at the rate of

3 x 10^-8 m^3/s; this water is replenished by the upward flow of sap through vessels in the trunk. This tree's trunk contains about 2000 vessels, each 100Mu m in diameter. What is the speed of the sap flowing in the vessels?

Answer:

The speed of the sap flowing in the vessel is 1.90 mm/s

Explanation:

Given:

The rate of water loss, Q = 3 × 10 ⁻⁸ m³/s

Number of vessels contained, n = 2000

Diameter of the vessel, D = 100 Mu m

thus, the radius of the vessel, r = 50 × 10⁻⁶ m

Now, the rate of flow is given as:

Q = AV    .............(1)

where, A is the area of the cross-section

V is the velocity

Total area, A = n × (πr²)

substituting the values in the equation (1), we get

3 × 10 ⁻⁸ m³/s = [2000 × (π × (50 × 10⁻⁶)²)] × V

or

V = 1.909 × 10⁻³ m/s or 1.90 mm/s

Hence, the speed of the sap flowing in the vessel is 1.90 mm/s

If the sun were to vanish instantly would earth immediately fly out of its orbit explain why or why not
Zanzabum
<span>Answer: No, because Einstein demonstrated that nothing can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum and for something to happen instantly over that distance would require that speed to be exceeded. If somehow the sun were to vanish, without explosive effects, an enormous gravity wave would begin travelling outward affecting the planets at the speed of light - thus taking about 8 minutes to reach earth. But that is irrelevant because the only way to remove all that matter would be total conversion of the mass to energy and that energy would totally destroy everything - after the same 8 minutes.

In concave mirror, the size of image depends upon
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The distance of the object placed on the principal axis from the concave mirror.

Explanation:

In a concave mirror, the nature of the image formed formed by the object placed in front of the mirror depends on the position of the object placed in from of the mirror. It all depends on the distance between the mirror and the object placed on the principal axis.

The closer the object is to the lens, the more larger or magnified the image formed will be. For example an object placed between the focal point and the pole of a concave produces a much larger image than an object placed beyond the centre of curvature of such mirror.
