Why are energy pyramids usually no more than 4 trophic levels?

Physics
1 answer:
Sav [38]3 years ago
4 0
There are usually no more than four trophic levels, because of the huge loss of energy at each trophic levels. Alomost 10 percent of the energy is lost at each level, as compared to the previous level, which occurs due to wastage of materials like bones and leftover tissues. So, till the fourth trophic level, very less energy is left to be continued to another level, and thus the process is like that.

How can two machines appear identical and yet not have the same actual mechanical advantage
STatiana [176]
There are many factors which contributes as to how a machine will be processing the input energy and convert it to output energy. Even with identical mechanism, these factors will have major effect on the output. Some factors are deflection, friction and wear. Some system maybe exposed to poor lubrication than the other which'll produce more friction and wear thus lower mechanical advantage.

Real-world examples of power
Paha777 [63]
By definition, power is the amount of energy consumed (or produced) in a second. (or more precisely, it is the rate of change in energy).
so anything which uses energy in a known time period can be labeled with a power rating.

an example for power could be a nuclear plant; traditional nuclear plants produce somewhat close to 1 giga watts (which means 1 giga joules in a second)

At t=0 a ball is projected vertically upward from a roof of a building of height 68.1 meters with a velocity of 42.4 m/s. The ba
Finger [1]

Answer:

7.45 s.

Explanation:

Given:

h = 68.1 m

vi = 0 m/s

vf = 42.4 m/s

g = 9.81 m/s^2

Using,

h = vi*t +1/2*(a*t^2)

68.1 = 1/2 * (9.81*t^2)

t = sqrt((68.1*2)/9.81)

= 3.726 s.

Total time of flight = 2*t

= 2 * 3.726

= 7.45 s.
