What does Lifting an ax higher when chopping wood adds to the of the ax?
potential mechanical energy
1 cm diameter 6 cm long core is removed from a carrot?
The pure water surrounding the carrot has a higher water potential. A net gain of water will enter the plant cells, swelling the cells. Water will rise in the tube.
Is heat measured in degrees?
No. Heat is one of many forms of energy, and is measured in units of energy ... joules, calories, watt-seconds, BTU, foot-pounds, etc. "Degrees" describe the temperature of an object or a sample of a substance. That's a measure of how "full of heat" it is. One joule of heat will fill an ounce of water higher than the same joule will fill a gallon of water. So after absorbing the same amount of heat, the temperature of the ounce is higher than the gallon's temperature.
How do mountains get higher?
mountains get higher as the sea level lowers
What is a two or three dimensional counterpart of a collinear?
Two points are collinear if there is a line going through them. A higher-dimensional counterpart to this is "coplanar": objects are coplanar if there is a plane that contains the objects. There's always a plane containing any three points, so you'd need at least four points (in at least three dimensions) for this distinction to be meaningful. However, it's also possible to discuss two or more coplanar lines, for example - if two lines are not coplanar, they are called skew. To visualize this, imagine a bridge crossing a river: the bridge and the river could be extended into lines that are not contained in any common plane. Beyond coplanar objects, it's possible to discuss "cospatial" objects that lie in the same three-dimensional space. However, you'd need at least four dimensions to even talk about this, since in three dimensions everything is cospatial, in a way. Another related concept to collinear is "concurrent." This refers to three or more lines (or circles) that all intersect at the same point.
