Answer:

Due to high salt in the sea water the density of the sea water is higher as compared to river water.

Sea water contains more amount of salt as compared to river/fresh water as a result it’s density increases and hence the buoyant force increases which makes it easier to swim in sea water .

A tree loses water to the air by the process of transpiration at the rate of 110 g/h. This water is replaced by the upward flow
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The answer is 1.87nm/s.

Explanation:

The 110g/hr  water loss must be replaced by 110g/hr of sap. 110g of sap corresponds to a volume of  

110g \div \dfrac{1040*10^3g}{1*10^6cm^3}  = 106cm^3

thus rate of sap replacement is

106cm^3/hr = 106*10^{-6}m^3/3600s  = 2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s

The volume of sap in the vessel of length x is

V = Ax,

where A is the cross sectional area of the vessel.

For 2000 such vessels, the volume is

V = 2000Ax

taking the derivative of both sides we get:

\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 2000A \dfrac{dx}{dt}

on the left-hand-side \dfrac{dx}{dt} is the velocity v of the sap, and on right-hand-side \dfrac{dV}{dt}  = 2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s; therefore,

2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s=2000Av

and since the cross-sectional area is

A = \pi (\dfrac{100*10^{-3}m}{2} )^2 = 7.85*10^{-3}m^2;

therefore,

2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s =2000(7.85*10^{-3}m^2)v

solving for v we get:

v = \dfrac{2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s}{2000(7.85*10^{-3}m^2)}

\boxed{v =1.875*10^{-9}m/s = 1.875nm/s}

which is the upward speed of the sap in each vessel.

A displacement vector 5 units long makes an angle of 67° with the x-axis. What is the horizontal component of displacement?
Harman [31]

Yo sup??

magnitude of original vector is 5 units.

angle made with x axis is 67°

horizontal component=5*cos67°

=5*0.4

=2 units (approx)

Therefore the correct answer is option B

Hope this helps

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).
