What color of light can plants "see"?

1 answer:

6 0

As you know, plants are usually green, which means that most other colors are absorbed. One of the most common pigments is called chlorophyll, and one of the varieties is responsible for the green color of plants; it strongly absorbs blue and redlight, which leaves only the green light to make it to our eyes.

The mass of the particles that a river can transport is proportional to the sixth power of the speed of the river. A certain riv

kow [346]

Answer:

1.122 m/s

Explanation:

So usually a river with a speed of 1 meters per second can transport particle that weighs:

$1^6 = 1 kg$

If the particle is twice as massive as usual, then its weights would be 1 * 2 = 2kg

This means the river must be flowing at a speed of

$2^{\frac{1}{6}} = 1.122 m/s$

Where did we use rotational and irrotational flow

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The term rotational and irrotational flow is associated withe the flow of particles in fluid.

The common example of irrrotational flow can be seen on the carriages of the Ferris wheel (giant wheel).

Explanation:

If the fluid is rotating along its axis with the streamline flow of its particles,then this type of flow is rotational flow.
Similarly if fluid particles do not rotate along its axis while flowing in a stream line flow then it is considered as the irrotational flow.
In majority, if the flow of fluid is viscid then it is rotational.
Fluid in a rotating cylinder is an example of rotating flow.

A running student has half the kinetic energy that his brother has. The student speeds up by 1 m/s, at which point he has the sa

hoa [83]

Answer:

V = (√2) + 1) m/s

Explanation:

Let the mass and speed of the running student be M and V respectively.

We are told that when he speeds up by 1 m/s, he has the same kinetic energy as his brother.

Thus, his speed at which he mow has the same kinetic energy as his brother is (V + 1) m/s

Now, we are told that the mass of the student is twice as large as that of his brother. Thus, his brother's mass is; M/2

Since kinetic energy is given by the formula K.E = ½mv²

Therefore, since we want to find the original speed of both students and that the initial condition says that the running student had half the kinetic energy of the brother, we now initial condition as;

½MV²= ½(½(M/2)V²) - - - - (eq 1)

Since he has sped up by 1 m/s, and has a kinetic energy now equal to that of his brother, we have;

(½M(V + 1)²) = (½(M/2)V²) - - - - (Eq2)

Dividing eq 1 by eq 2 gives;

V²/(V + 1)²= 1/2

Taking square root of both sides gives;

V/(V + 1) = 1/√2

Cross multiply to give;

(√2)V = V + 1

(√2)V - V = 1

V((√2) - 1) = 1

V = 1/((√2) - 1)

Simplifying this using surfs gives;

V = [1/((√2) - 1)] × ((√2) + 1))/((√2) + 1))

V = ((√2) + 1))/1

V = (√2) + 1) m/s

Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the world record in the 1500 m running race. He ran the final 400 m in a time of 51.9 s.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: His average speed in mph over the last 400 m is 7.7 m/s.

Explanation:

Given: Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco holds the world record in the 1500 m running race. He ran the final 400 m in a time of 51.9 s.

We know that , speed = $\dfrac{distance}{time}$

Here , distance = 400m and time = 51.9 s

Then, speed = $\dfrac{400}{51.9}\approx7.7\ m/s$

Hence, his average speed in mph over the last 400 m is 7.7 m/s.
