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

(g) <u>Eₐ = 3.818 Volts</u>

<h3>Question:</h3>

The complete question is stated below and the figure is provided in the attachment:

In Fig. 27-47, E 1 = 6.00 V, E 2 = 12.0 V, R1 = 100 Ω,

R2 = 200 Ω, and R3 = 300 Ω. One point of the circuit is grounded

(V = 0). What are the (a) size and (b) direction (up or down) of the

current through resistance 1, the (c) size and (d) direction

(left or right) of the current through resistance 2, and the

(e) size and (f) direction of the current through resistance 3?

(g) What is the electric potential at point A?

<h3></h3><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Applying Kirchoff's voltage law in the loops of botg E₁ and E₂, in the clockwise and anti clockwise direction:

E₁ - i₂R₂ - i₁R₁ = 0

E₂ - i₃R₃ - i₁R₁ = 0

If, we apply Kirchhoff's current law at junction A, we get:

i₁ = i₂ + i₃

Using these relations in loop equations, and re-arranging:

E₁ - i₂R₂ - (i₂ + i₃) R₁ = 0 ___________ eqn (1)

E₂ - i₃R₃ - (i₂ + i₃) R₁ = 0 ___________ eqn (2)

Eqn (1) implies:

6 - 200 i₂ - 100 i₂ - 100 i₃ = 0

i₂ = (6 - 100i₃)/300

Eqn (2) implies:

12 - 300 i₃ - 100 i₂ - 100 i₃ = 0

12 - 400 i₃ = 100 i₂

using value of i₃ from eqn (1)

12 - 400 i₃ = (1/3)(6 - 100 i₃)

36 - 1200 i₃ = 6 - 100 i₃

1100 i₃ = 30

using this value in eqn of i₂:

i₂ = [6 - 100(0.02727)]/300

i₂ = (6 - 2.727)/300

Since:

i₁ = i₂ + i₃

i₁ = 0.01091 A + 0.02727 A

<u></u>

(a)

(b)

Since, the value of current is positive, thus it will have the direction that was assumed.

Therefore, its direction will <u>downward</u>

(c)

(d)

Since, the value of current is positive, thus it will have the direction that was assumed.

Therefore, its direction will <u>rightward</u>

(e)

(f)

Since, the value of current is positive, thus it will have the direction that was assumed.

Therefore, its direction will <u>leftward</u>

With respect to the grounded portion, the potential drop at the resistance 1 will be equal to the potential at A Eₐ.

Therefore,

Eₐ = i₁R₁

Eₐ = (0.03818 A)(100 Ω)

<u>Eₐ = 3.818 Volts</u>

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a. 5 × 10¹⁹ protons b. 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.42 A. (a) How many protons strike the target in 19 seconds? (b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 17-gram block of metal whose specific heat capacity is 860 J/(kg Co), and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block at the end of 19 s?

Solution

i = Q/t = ne/t

n = it/e where i = current = 0.42 A, n = number of protons, e = proton charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and t = time = 19 s

So n = 0.42 A × 19 s/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

= 4.98 × 10¹⁹ protons

≅ 5 × 10¹⁹ protons

The total kinetic energy of the protons = heat change of target

total kinetic energy of the protons = n × kinetic energy per proton

= 5 × 10¹⁹ protons × 6.0 × 10⁻¹² J per proton

= 30 × 10⁷ J

heat change of target = Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc where m = mass of block = 17 g = 0.017 kg and c = specific heat capacity = 860 J/(kg °C)

ΔT = Q/mc = 30 × 10⁷ J/0.017 kg × 860 J/(kg °C)

= 30 × 10⁷/14.62

= 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

A point charge with a charge q1 = 2.30 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with a charge q2 = -5.00 μC mo

Alla [95]

Answer:

W = 2.74 J

Explanation:

The work done by the charge on the origin to the moving charge is equal to the difference in the potential energy of the charges.

This is the electrostatic equivalent of the work-energy theorem.

$W = \Delta U = U_2 - U_1$

where the potential energy is defined as follows

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Let's first calculate the distance 'r' for both positions.

$r_1 = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_0)^2 + (y_1 - y_0)^2} = \sqrt{(0.170 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = 0.170~m\\r_2 = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_0)^2 + (y_2 - y_0)^2} = \sqrt{(0.250 - 0)^2 + (0.250 - 0)^2} = 0.353~m$

Now, we can calculate the potential energies for both positions.

$U_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2} = \frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(2.3\times 10^{-6})(-5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.170)^2} = -3.57~J\\U_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2} = \frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(2.3\times 10^{-6})(-5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.3530)^2} = -0.829~J$

Finally, the total work done on the moving particle can be calculated.

$W = U_2 - U_1 = (-0.829) - (-3.57) = 2.74~J$
