cranberry plants are grown in areas called bogs.In the fall,each bog is flooded with water.when the plants are underwater,the cranberries are knocked off the plants and rise to the surface of the water.The farmers scoop them up.What property of craberries do farmers use in their harvest?Explain.
their density?
I think ???? That I'm confused done
i don't know the answer someone give it to me my god ;[
Farmers use the property of buoyancy in their cranberry harvest. Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float or rise in a liquid.
In the case of cranberries, when the bogs are flooded with water, the cranberries become buoyant due to their hollow interior and air pockets. As the water level rises, the cranberries detach from the plants and float to the surface of the water. This makes it easier for the farmers to collect the cranberries by scooping them up.
The hollow interior of cranberries allows them to trap air, making them naturally buoyant. When the cranberries are submerged underwater, this air within them assists in lifting them to the surface. The amount of air trapped within each cranberry determines its buoyancy. The more air trapped, the better it floats. This property is advantageous to the farmers as it helps them separate the cranberries from the plants and facilitates their collection.
By flooding the bogs and utilizing the cranberries' buoyancy, the farmers can efficiently and effectively harvest the cranberries without having to manually pick each one from the plants.
