Asap : )what best describes how water moves in one continuous column from a plant’s roots to its leaves? a. polarity and cohesionb. density and buoyancyc. cohesion and adhesiond. polarity and surface tension

The correct answer is option C, that is, cohesion and adhesion.  

The molecules of water stay near to each other via cohesion, that is, the combined activity of hydrogen bonds amongst the molecules of water. The property of cohesion assists the plant to move water upwards from the root via the xylem towards the leaf.  

At the same time, adhesion between the molecules of water to the cell walls of the plant assists to counteract gravity while water is conducted from the roots to the leaves. Thus, both the cohesion and the adhesion produces a capillary action, which keeps the molecules of water interacting with each other and conducting via the plants out to the cells of the leaf.  

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j

the electrical  conductivity  of asolution  of an electrolyte is measured by determining the resistance of thesolution  between two flat or cylindrical electrodes separated by a fixed distance.
