iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

A.)

Explanation:

The answer is food chain A, as plants produce their own food using photosynthesis, therefore making them producers.

A grasshopper then eats this grass, making it a consumer as it is obtaining its energy from the producer. It is then eaten by a fish and a human. This chain accurately describe the flow of energy in an ecosystem, as it goes, producer, consumer, consumer, consumer

A quantum system has three states, with energies 0, 1.6 × 10-21, and 1.6 × 10-21, in Joules. It is coupled to an environment wit

xenn [34]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply two concepts, the first is related to the calculation of average data and the second is the Boltzmann distribution.

Boltzmann distribution is a probability distribution or probability measure that gives the probability that a system will be in a certain state as a function of that state's energy and the temperature of the system. It is given by

$z = \sum\limit_i e^{-\frac{\epsilon_i}{K_0T}}$

Where,

$\epsilon_i =$ energy of that state

k = Boltzmann's constant

T = Temperature

With our values we have that

T= 250K

$k = 1.381*10^{23} m^2 kg s^{-2} K^{-1}$

$\epsilon_1=0J$

$\epsilon_2=1.6*10^{-21}J$

$\epsilon_3=1.6*10^{-21}J$

To make the calculations easier we can assume that the temperature and Boltzmann constant can be summarized as

$\beta = \frac{1}{kT}$

$\beta = \frac{1}{(1.381*10^{23} m^2)(250)}$

$\beta = 2.9*10^{20}J$

Therefore the average energy would be,

$\bar{\epsilon} =\frac{\sum \epsilon_i e^{-\beta \epsilon_i}}{\sum e^{-\beta \epsilon_i}}$

Replacing with our values we have

$\bar{\epsilon} = \frac{0e^{-0}+1.6*10^{-21}*e^{-\Beta(1.6*10^{-21})}+1.6*10^{-2-1}*e^{-(2.9*10^{20})(1.6*10^{-21})}}{1+2e^{-2.9*10^{20}*1.6*10^{-21}}}$

$\bar{\epsilon} = 0.9*10^{-22}J$

Therefore the average internal energy is $\bar{\epsilon} = 0.9*10^{-22}J$

A bus accelerates to 60 m/s to the east in 10 s. What is the buses acceleration? 2. A car traveling at 10.0 m/s to the west acce

professor190 [17]

Answers:

1) $a=6\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

2) $t=8s$

Explanation:

1) Acceleration $a$ is defined as the variation of Velocity $V$ in time $t$ :

$a=\frac{V}{t}$ (1)

A body also has acceleration when it changes its direction.

In this case we have a bus with a velocity of 60m/s to the east, that accelerates in a time 10s. So, we have to find the bus's acceleration:

$a=\frac{60m/s}{10s}$ (2)

$a=6m/s^{2}$ (3) This is the bus's accelerration

2) Now we have a car that accelerates $2m/s^{2}$ to the west in order to reach a speed of $16m/s$ in the same direction, and we have to find the time $t$ it takes to the car to reach that velocity.

Therefore we have to find $t$ from (1):

$t=\frac{V}{a}$ (4)

$t=\frac{16m/s}{2m/s^{2}}$ (5)

Finally:

$t=8s$ (6)

What is role of gravity in our daily life?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Well for starters, gravity keeps things down on Earth. Also, gravity applies its force on to cars to maintain stability by forcing the tires to make constant contact to the ground creating friction between the rubber and road surface allowing the car to be moved. I'm sure someone else has better ideas!
