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

dem82 [27]

Answer:

v=v0 - gt

Explanation:

The equation for velocity is

v=v0 - gt

where v0=14m/s, g=10m/s^2.

in 1 second:

v=14-10=4m/s

it is positive so direction is upwards

in 2 seconds:

v=14-20=-6m/s

it is negative so direction is downwards
