What is water potential???

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions. Water potential quantifies the tendency of water to move from one area to another due to osmosis, gravity, mechanical pressure and matrix effects such as capillary action.

A point P1 is located by the vector A = (3.74)î + (1.64)ĵ and a point P2 is located by the vector B = (1.60)î + (3.66)ĵ. The vec

seropon [69]

Answer:

$\vec{C} = ( \ - 2.14 \ , \ 2.02 \ )$

Explanation:

The vector that point from point P1 to point P2 its found simply by taking the vector at which point P2 its located and subtracting the vector at which point P1 its located:

$\vec{C} = \vec{B} - \vec{A}$

So:

$\vec{C} = ( \ 1.60 \ , \ 3.66 \ ) - ( \ 3.74 \ , \ 1.64 \ )$

$\vec{C} = ( \ 1.60 \ - \ 3.74 \ , \ 3.66 \ - \ 1.64 \ )$

$\vec{C} = ( \ - 2.14 \ , \ 2.02 \ )$

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics

spayn [35]

Answer:

$v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}$

Explanation:

This is a projectile motion problem. We will first separate the motion into x- and y-components, apply the equations of kinematics separately, then we will combine them to find the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is in the x-direction, and there is no acceleration in the x-direction.

On the other hand, there no initial velocity in the y-component, so the arrow is basically in free-fall.

Applying the equations of kinematics in the x-direction gives

$x - x_0 = v_{x_0} t + \frac{1}{2}a_x t^2\\63 \times 10^{-3} = v_0t + 0\\t = \frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}$

For the y-direction gives

$v_y = v_{y_0} + a_y t\\v_y = 0 -9.8t\\v_y = -9.8t$

Combining both equation yields the y_component of the final velocity

$v_y = -9.8(\frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}) = -\frac{0.61}{v_0}$

Since we know the angle between the x- and y-components of the final velocity, which is 180° - 2.8° = 177.2°, we can calculate the initial velocity.

$\tan(\theta) = \frac{v_y}{v_x}\\\tan(177.2^\circ) = -0.0489 = \frac{v_y}{v_0} = \frac{-0.61/v_0}{v_0} = -\frac{0.61}{v_0^2}\\v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}$

A two-slit Fraunhofer interference-diffraction pattern is observed with light of wavelength 672 nm. The slits have widths of 0.0

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of diffraction , angular width of central maxima =2 λ/d

λ is wave length of light and d is slit width

In case of interference , angular width of each fringe

= λ /D

D is distance between two slits

No of interference fringe in central diffraction fringe

=2 λ/d x D/λ = 2 x D /d = 2 x .24/.03 = 16.

Describe why cars are inefficient machines in terms of thermodynamics.

Alina [70]

Cars are the mechanical device which convert chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, the engine used in the automobiles car are very inefficient, they can only convert 30-40% of chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, since thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of energy, thus due to poor conversion rate of chemical energy into mechanical energy, cars are known as inefficient machine.
