Which of the following is an observation only? *

A tree loses water to the air by the process of transpiration at the rate of 110 g/h. This water is replaced by the upward flow

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The answer is 1.87nm/s.

Explanation:

The $110g/hr$ water loss must be replaced by $110g/hr$ of sap. 110g of sap corresponds to a volume of

$110g \div \dfrac{1040*10^3g}{1*10^6cm^3} = 106cm^3$

thus rate of sap replacement is

$106cm^3/hr = 106*10^{-6}m^3/3600s = 2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s$

The volume of sap in the vessel of length $x$ is

$V = Ax$ ,

where $A$ is the cross sectional area of the vessel.

For 2000 such vessels, the volume is

$V = 2000Ax$

taking the derivative of both sides we get:

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 2000A \dfrac{dx}{dt}$

on the left-hand-side $\dfrac{dx}{dt}$ is the velocity $v$ of the sap, and on right-hand-side $\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s$ ; therefore,

$2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s=2000Av$

and since the cross-sectional area is

$A = \pi (\dfrac{100*10^{-3}m}{2} )^2 = 7.85*10^{-3}m^2$ ;

therefore,

$2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s =2000(7.85*10^{-3}m^2)v$

solving for $v$ we get:

$v = \dfrac{2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s}{2000(7.85*10^{-3}m^2)}$

$\boxed{v =1.875*10^{-9}m/s = 1.875nm/s}$

which is the upward speed of the sap in each vessel.

A car travels a distance of 320 km in 4 hours. What is your average speed in meters per second?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

22.2 m/s

Explanation:

First, we need to convert km to m by multiplying by 1000. This means that the car traveled 320 000 meters.

Next, we convert hours to minutes by multiplying by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour). This means that overall, the car traveled 320 000 m in 14 400 seconds.

The average speed can be found by using the equation $\frac{distance}{time}$ . After substitution, this gives the fraction $\frac{320 000}{14 400}$ , which reduces to 22 $\frac{2}{9}$ m/s, or about 22.2 m/s.
