A banyan, also spelled "banian",[1] is a fig that begins its life as an epiphyte,[2] i. e. a plant that grows on another plant, when its seed germinates in a crack or crevice of a host tree or human edifice. "Banyan" often specifically denominates Ficus benghalensis (the "Indian banyan"), which is the national tree of the Republic of India,[3] though the name also has been generalized to denominate all figs that share a common life cycle and used systematically in taxonomy to denominate the subgenus Urostigma.[4]Aerial roots are roots above the ground. They are almost always adventitious. They are found in diverse plant species, including epiphytes such as orchids, tropical coastal swamp trees such as mangroves, the resourceful banyan trees, the warm-temperate rainforest rātā (Metrosideros robusta) and pōhutukawa (M. excelsa) trees of New Zealand and vines such as Common Ivy (Hedera helix) and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).

If a bowler rolls a bowling ball at a constant speed, would the force increase if he or she changes the weight of the ball? Expl

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

This is what we call Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

If the bowler is rolling a ball, let's say 5 LBS, It should travel at normal speed.

The speed is also dependent on how the bowler throws the ball.

If they were to change the weight of the ball. It would most likely slow the ball down more, as it would be too heavy to go as fast if it was a lightweight ball.

It's like a person. The bigger and heavier they are, the slower they will move with their own consecutive speed. If they are lighter, they'll most likely go faster
