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.

A meter stick balances horizontally on a knife-edge at the 50.0 cm mark. With two 5.12 g coins stacked over the 24.2 cm mark, th
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The mass of the meter stick is  1.66054054054g

Explanation:

Here since the meter stick is in equilibrium position its net torque and net force should be equal to zero

      Since at the begging the meter stick is balanced at center of the meter stick that means its center of mass should be present at 50.0cm

Now lets consider the later case where stick is balanced by two 5.12 g coins .

Here torque due to two coins = t_{c} = 5.12\times(27.8-24.2)\times2\times9.8

  Torque due to weight of meter stick =  t_{m} =  m\times(50-27.8)\times9.8

  where m = mass of the meter stick

    Here t_{c} = t_{m}.

Upon equating we will be getting mass of the meter stick =1.66054054054g

A uniform 1.0-N meter stick is suspended horizontally by vertical strings attached at each end. A 2.0-N weight is suspended from
fgiga [73]

Answer:

3.5 N

Explanation:

Let the 0-cm end be the moment point. We know that for the system to be balanced, the total moment about this point must be 0. Let's calculate the moment at each point, in order from 0 to 100cm

- Tension of the string attached at the 0cm end is 0 as moment arm is 0

- 2 N weight suspended from the 10 cm position: 2*10 = 20 Ncm clockwise

- 2 N weight suspended from the 50 cm position: 2*50 = 100 Ncm clockwise

- 1 N stick weight at its center of mass, which is 50 cm position, since the stick is uniform: 1*50 = 50 Ncm clockwise

- 3 N weight suspended from the 60 cm position: 3*60 = 180 Ncm clockwise

- Tension T (N) of the string attached at the 100-cm end: T*100 = 100T Ncm counter-clockwise.

Total Clockwise moment = 20 + 100 + 50 + 180 = 350Ncm

Total counter-clockwise moment = 100T

For this to balance, 100 T = 350

so T = 350 / 100 = 3.5 N

How to change V=72km/hr to m/s
lapo4ka [179]
Multiply by (1000 meters / 1 km).
Then multiply by (1 hour / 3600 seconds).

Both of those fractions are equal to ' 1 ', because the top
and bottom numbers are equal, so the multiplications
won't change the VALUE of the 72 km/hr.  They'll only
change the units.

(72 km/hour) · (1000 meters / 1 km) · (1 hour / 3600 seconds)

= (72 · 1000 / 3600) (km·meter·hour / hour·km·second)

=  20 meter/second

The ball of a ballpoint pen is 0.5 mm in diameter and has an ASTM grain size of 12. How many grainsare there in the ball
Alina [70]

Answer:

the number of grains in the ball is 274,848

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter = 0.5 mm

so radius r = 0.25 mm

first we determine the volume of the ball using the following equation;

V = 4/3×πr³

we substitute

V = 4/3×π(0.25)³

V =  0.06544 mm³

Now form table 1.1 "Grain sizes" a metal with grain size number of 12 has about 4,200,000 grains/mm³

so;

Number of grains N = 0.06544 × 4,200,000

N = 274,848 grains

Therefore, the number of grains in the ball is 274,848
