Answer:
D = 25 miles
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we just need to know how much time it took both bicyclists to collide and that will be the same amount of time that the bee flew at 25miles per hour. With those values we could calculate the distance it traveled.
Since both bicyclists collide, we know that Xa=Xb, so:
Xa = V*t = 10*t and Xb = 20 - V*t = 20 - 10*t
10*t = 20 - 10*t Solving for t:
t = 1 hour Now we can calculate the distance for the bee:
D = Vbee * t = 25 * 1 = 25 miles
Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.
