A plant grows both upward and downward simultaneously. The shoot system, which includes the stem and leaves, grows upward toward the light, while the root system grows downward into the soil for nutrients and stability. This dual growth allows the plant to maximize its access to resources essential for survival.

A scientist performs an experiment to see if two different balls will roll down an incline at the same speed?

The scientist would set up an incline plane with the same angle for both balls and release them from the same height at the same time. If the balls reach the bottom of the incline plane at the same time, it suggests they roll down at the same speed. Any differences in speed could indicate that factors such as mass or shape affect their rolling speeds.

Why do roots grow down and stems grow up?

Its basically because of geotropism (when it grows downwards/follows gravity) plants always have their roots growing down because if they didn't grow down, they wouldn't support a plant very well. the stem always grows up, generally for the same reason, but also because the sun is up. phototropism comes into play here. plants always try to grow towards the sun, enabling them to have a good source. So the root grows downwards to get the nutrients/find the nutrients that the plant needs to grow and stay living.-(don't ask me y this part has a line through it!!)
