<h2>Answer: Transpiration </h2>

Vegetal transpiration is the loss of water in the form of vapor, in the plant through its different parts, especially its leaves.

In this process, soil water is absorbed by the roots of the plant and transported in liquid form to the leaves to be converted into water vapor, while a part is used in photosynthesis. That is why vegetal transpiration is considered a vital function in the photosynthesis process.

This is possible because the leaves have small pores that allow water to escape into the atmosphere in the form of vapor and absorb carbon dioxide. Then, most of the water in the plants is used in the process of transpiration and only a small percentage is retained in liquid state and used for its growth and storage.

dedylja [7]

According to Newton's second law

E.e = a * mp ..... (1)

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field; e = 1.6 * 10^-19 is the elementary charge; mp = 1.67*10^-27 kg is the proton mass; a is the acceleration.

So, the distance

l = at^2/2 .......(2)

The proton accelerated

a = 2l / t^2 ...........(3)

From equations (1) and (3)

E= 32.51 V/m

Electric field

The physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts a force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them, is known as an electric field (also known as an E-field). It can also refer to a system of charged particles' physical field. Electric charges and time-varying electric currents are the building blocks of electric fields. The electromagnetic field, one of the four fundamental interactions (also known as forces) of nature, manifests itself in both electric and magnetic fields.

The bonds that hold water molecules together are due to shared electrons and known as

miv72 [106K]

Answer: The bond that hold water molecules together are due to shared electrons. The bond of shared electrons is known as a covalent bond.

Explanation: Water is held together by bonds known as covalent bonds, in which electrons are shared by the elements. In this case, the two hydrogen atoms and the one oxygen atom share a bond in which they share electrons, attaining a full outer shell.

When hiking at altitude, the air pressure drops to 825,000Pa. Solve the force that site exerts against the side of a rectangular

OLga [1]

Answer:

The force is $1237500N$

Explanation:

We can apply the following expression

$pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

To find the area of rectangular tent wall:

$Area=length *width\\Area=2.00m*0.750m\\Area=1.5m^{2}$

Now to find the force:

$pressure=825,000pa$

$pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

$Force=pressure*Area\\Force=825000pa*1.5m^{2} \\Force=1237500N$

Which of the following is NOT a property of long-period comets that suggests that they originate from the Oort cloud?

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

b. They orbit around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the ecliptic plane.

Explanation:

All the objects of the solar system revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The comet coming from the Oort's cloud will also follow the same kind of orbit. That is why it can't be a property to distinguish an Oort's cloud comet.

All other properties are correct to identify an Oort's cloud comet as the Oort's cloud is a considered a spherical cloud just outside the Solar system.

A solid 200-g block of lead and a solid 200-g block of copper are completely submerged in an aquarium filled with water. Each bl

finlep [7]

Answer:

B. The buoyant force on the copper block is greater than the buoyant force on the lead block.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of lead block, m₁ = 200 g = 0.2 kg

mass of copper block, m₂ = 200 g = 0.2 kg

density of water, ρ = 1 g/cm³

density of lead block, ρ₁ = 11.34 g/cm³

density of copper block, ρ₂ = 8.96 g/cm³

The buoyant force on each block is calculated as;

$F_B = mg(\frac{density \ of \ fluid}{density \ of \ object} )$

The buoyant force of lead block;

$F_{lead} = 0.2*9.8(\frac{1}{11.34} )\\\\F_{lead} = 0.173 \ N$

The buoyant force of copper block

$F_{copper} = 0.2*9.8(\frac{1}{8.96})\\\\F_{copper} = 0.219 \ N$

Therefore, the buoyant force on the copper block is greater than the buoyant force on the lead block
