How much energy is passed from one trophic level to the next

1 answer:

6 0

The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Technician B

Explanation:

here on analyzing both the statements from technician A and technician B. The Statement from Technician B is more logical and correct. That the power-assisted brake system reduces the force that the driver must exert on the brake pedal.

The power-assisted brake system does not reduce the distance of stopping. What it does is it reduces the force to be applied by the driver. Thus, making the drive more comfortable.

The first and second coils have the same length, and the third and fourth coils have the same length. They differ only in the cr

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The ratio of the resistances of second coil to the first coil is the ratio of square of radius of the first coil to the square of radius of second coil.

And

The ratio of the resistances of fourth coil to the third coil is the ratio of square of radius of the third coil to the square of radius of fourth coil.

Explanation:

The resistance of the coil is directly proportional to the length of the coil and inversely proportional to the area of coil and hence inversely proportional to the square of radius of the coil.

So, the ratio of the resistances of second coil to the first coil is the ratio of square of radius of the first coil to the square of radius of second coil.

And

The ratio of the resistances of fourth coil to the third coil is the ratio of square of radius of the third coil to the square of radius of fourth coil.

A 65-kg person stands on a scale in a moving elevator while holding a 5.0 kg mass suspended from a massless spring with spring c

disa [49]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. However, I believe, it is asking for the acceleration of the elevator. This is 3.16 m/s².

Explanation:

By Hooke's law, $F = ke$

F is the force on a spring, k is the spring constant and e is the extension or compression.

From the question,

$F = (1.08\text{ kN/m}) \times (6.0 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}) = 64.8 \text{ N}$

This is the force on the mass suspended on the spring. Its acceleration, a, is given by

$F = ma$

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a = \dfrac{64.8 \text{ N}}{5\text{ kg}} = 12.96\text{ m/s}^2$

This acceleration is more than the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s². Hence the elevator must be moving up with an acceleration of

12.96 - 9.8 m/s² = 3.16 m/s²

A man pushes on a piano with mass 190 kgkg ; it slides at constant velocity down a ramp that is inclined at 18.0 ∘∘ above the ho

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The magnitude of applied force,parallel to the incline is 575.38 N and parallel to the floor is 605 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the piano $(m)$ = 190 kg

Inclined angle $(\theta)$ = 18 degree

Considering gravity, $g$ = 9.8 $ms^-^2$

And

Using, $sin(18) =0.30$ and $cos(18)=0.95$

<em>FBD diagram is attached with all the force acting on the floor and and the inclined. </em>

We have to find the magnitude of forces,when the man pushes it parallel to the incline and to the floor.

When the man pushes it parallel to the incline.

Balancing the forces as $\sum F=0$ .

⇒ $F+mgsin(\theta) =0$

⇒ $F=-mgsin(\theta)$

⇒ Here it is negative as the force is acting downward.

⇒ Plugging the values of mass $(m)$ and angle $(\theta)$ .

⇒ $F=190\times 9.8\times sin(18)$

⇒ $F=575.38$ N

When the force is parallel to the floor.

⇒ $Fcos(\theta)=mgsin(\theta)$

⇒ $F=\frac{mgsin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $F=\frac{190\times 9.8\times sin(18)}{cos(18)}$

⇒ $F=605$ N

So,

The magnitude of applied force in inclined direction is 575.38 Newton and parallel to the floor is 605 N.
