Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is transformed from one form of energy to another form. The total energy of the system remains constant.

In the Newton's cradle, there is elastic collision between the balls. The energy at first was potential energy and it was transformed in the form of kinetic energy as the ball swing up.

In elastic collision, the energy and momentum remains conserved.

The energy possessed by the first ball was potential energy due to its position. On collision, the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy and transferred to the second ball. The energy will be transferred to the rest of the balls in contact one by one till the last ball starts to move and kinetic energy transforms to potential energy again.

This process will continue until and unless stopped by an external unbalanced force. As we know, from the first law of motion an object continues to be in the state of rest or motion unless and until an external unbalanced force is applied on it.

Hence, the correct option is Option D.

Which method do you think best represents energy flow through ecosystems? Why?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The circle of life, in which energy flows into the world from the sun, giving plants that energy to live.  All of the organisms in an ecosystem are chemical machines driven by the energy captured in photosynthesis. The organisms that first capture energy, the producers, include plants, some kinds of bacteria, and algae. All other organisms in an ecosystem are consumers.

The plants energy will then be transferred to a small animal, most likely a rabbit or maybe a mouse; depending on the plant. The small animal will then be eaten by a bigger more dominating animal like an eagle or a snake. It just goes on and on. The eagle or the snake will get eaten by a bigger animal or will decompose into the earth giving the soil and plants around it that same energy.

What happen to the energy that was not passed on to the next tropic level?????<br> Please help AsAP
jekas [21]

Answer:

The energy that was not passed on the next tropic level is lost as heat

Explanation:

In an ecosystem flow of energy occur from one tropic level to the next one as the organism of one tropic level eats another organism belongs to the tropic level that is lower from that of previous one.

                    The 10% of total energy of one tropic level is passed to the next tropic level the rest of the energy is lost as heat in the environment.
