You want to draw a free body diagram of the forces on the sled in the horizontal x-direction.
If you visualize the system in an x-y coordinate plane, the force along the x-direction is the angle it makes with the x-axis multiples by the force.
The angle made with the x-axis is cosine of the angle theta.
Please see picture attached.
The large leaves help it survive as they serve as the<u> organ for photosynthesis.</u>
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.
Formula: s = d/t
s = speed
d = distance
t = time
Solve using the values we are given.
s = 300/40
s = 7.5m/s
Best of Luck!
