The answer is: abiotic factors.
Abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical things of the environment.
On the contrary, biotic factors are all of the living organisms within an ecosystem.
Abiotic factors can include water, light, radiation, temperature, humidity, atmosphere, and soil.
For example, abiotic factors found in terrestrial ecosystems are sunlight, rain, wind, temperature, soil, pollution, nutrients, pH of soil and water, types of soil.
Because they don’t have the same elements i guess, what is question 1?
Answer:
The entity that decreases is the Weight.
Explanation:
Every object on the surface of the earth is usually pulled downwards by the action of gravity. The force or weight is W = mg
Now, the farther one gets away from the surface of the earth by climbing a mountain, the further the person is from the Earth's centre of gravity.
We know that the formula for Force of gravity away from the Earth's surface is given by;
F_g = GM1M2/r²
So the greater the distance, the lesser the gravitational force.
Now, the gravitational force equals the weight of the individual.
Thus, the entity that decreases is the Weight of the individual.
I would think energy has been transferred <span />
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
heat gained by metal + heat lost by water = 0
m₁C₁ΔT₁ + m₂C₂ΔT₂ = 0
C₁ = -(m₂C₂ΔT₂)/(m₁ΔT₁)
The factors determining C₁ are
- mass of water
- temperature change of water (T_f - Ti)
- mass of metal
- temperature change of metal (T_f - Ti)
Any factor that makes the numerator higher or the denominator lower than what you thought, will give a calculated C₁ that is too high (and vice versa).
The major sources of uncertainty are probably in determining the temperatures, especially the initial and final temperatures of the metal. However, you will have to decide what the principal factors were in your experiment.
For example, did the metal have a chance to cool during the transfer to the calorimeter? How easy was it to determine the equilibrium temperature, etc?
