The energy lost between trophic levels why?

Physics

1 answer:

serious [3.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels

What is the energy in the spark produced by discharging the second capacitor? 1. The same as the discharge spark of the first ca

Nastasia [14]

Complete Question

The two isolated parallel plate capacitors be- low, one with plate separation d and the other with D > d, have the same plate area A and

are given the same charge Q.

What is the energy in the spark produced by discharging the second capacitor?

1. The same as the discharge spark of the first capacitor

2. More energetic than the discharge spark of the first capacitor

3. Less energetic than the discharge spark of the first capacitor

Answer:

The correct option is 2

Explanation:

The formula for the energy stored in the capacitor is

$U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$

And generally the formula for finding the capacitance of a capacitor is

$C = \frac{\epsilon_oA}{d}$

We can denote the capacitance of the first capacitor as $C_1 = \frac{\epsilon_oA}{d}$

and denote the capacitance of the second capacitor as $C_2 = \frac{\epsilon_oA}{D}$

Looking at this formula we can see that C varies inversely with d

as D > d it means that $C_1 > C_2$

Since the charge is constant

$U\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{C}$ i.e U varies inversely with C

So $C_1 > C_2$ => $U_2 >U_1$

This means that the energy of spark would be more for capacitor two compared to capacitor one

The correct option is 2

A sample of oxygen gas at 25.0Â°c has its pressure tripled while its volume is halved. What is the final temperature of the gas?

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

447 K

Explanation:

25 C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Assuming ideal gas, we can apply the ideal gas law

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$T_2 = T_1\frac{P_2}{P_1}\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

Since pressure is tripled, then $P_2 / P_1 = 3$ . Volume is halved, then $V_2 / V_1 = 0.5$

$T_2 = 298*3*0.5 = 447 K$

A 45.0 kg skater is skating at a speed of 12.0 m/s. The skater coasts to a speed of 6.00 m/s. How much kinetic energy has the sk

ratelena [41]

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object that is moving. It is calculated from one-half the product of the mass and the change in square of the velocity of the object. It is the opposite of potential energy which the energy possessed by an object at rest. We calculate as follows:
KE = mΔv^2 / 2 = 45 ( 6^2 - 12^2 ) = -4860 J had been lost by the skater

Difference between hair dryer and heat gun

Bumek [7]

The heat gun obviously wins this round. Master Appliance heat guns can reach temperatures of up to 1,000 Fahrenheit. A handheld blow dryer might reach 131 degrees Fahrenheit. A hair dryer gets hot enough to burn skin, but not hot enough to complete serious tasks like striping paint and removing serious. By the way I got this from google.
