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

An object is at rest in front of a compressed spring. It travels over a surface that exerts a kinetic frictional force on it and
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

the object will travel 0.66 meters before to stop.

Explanation:

Using the energy conservation theorem:

E_i+K_i+W_f=K_f+U_f

The work done by the friction force is given by:

W_f=F_f*d\\W_f=\µ*m*g*d\\W_f=0.35*4*9.81*d\\W_f=13.7d[J]

so:

\frac{1}{2}1800*(10*10^{-2})+0-13.7d=0+0\\d=0.66m

A meteor is
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

A meteor is  B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.

Explanation:

Meteors are very small dust particles that, when penetrating into the Earth's atmosphere, burn quickly by rubbing with the gases of the same. Some meteors, those with larger dimensions and appreciable weights, are brighter and can describe longer trajectories, showing longer.

In other words, the meteoroids, celestial bodies can vary in size between 100 micrometers up to 50 meters, they collide with the atmosphere of our planet and if the particles are of a small size, upon impact they enter combustion creating a flash, is what we know as meteor or shooting star. Therefore, the meteor is a luminous phenomenon that leaves behind a persistent trail.

So, <u><em>a meteor is  B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.</em></u>
