Answer:

Explanation:

Water potential is defined as potential energy of water per unit volume with respect to potential energy of pure water. When some salt is dissolved in water  , its potential energy becomes negative . Pressure on water increases its potential . Physical phenomena like osmotic pressure, surface tension etc influences the water potential.

Direction of flow of water is guided by water potential. Water always flows from higher water potential to lower water potential. In the given problem water will flow fro solution having water potential of -3.25 bars to that having water potential of - 6.25 bars.

Estimate the change in gravitational potential energy when a person with mass 80 kg rise from bed to a standing position. Assumi
Doss [256]

Answer:

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = 392 J

Explanation:

given data

mass of the person m  = 80 kg

height of the centre of mass Δh = 0.50 m

to find out

change in gravitational potential energy

solution

we get here change in gravitational potential energy that is express here as

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = m × g × Δh     .........1

put here value we get

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = m × g × Δh

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = 80 × 9.8 × 0.50

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = 392 J
