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.

puteri [66]

Answer:

C. A rubber rod and a glass rod charged this way have opposite charges on them.

Explanation:

When a rubber rod is rubbed against cat fur, it acquires a negative charge, it becomes negatively charged.

When you then try to bring two rubber rod's together, they repel because like charges repel.

Meanwhile, when you rub a glass rod against silk, it loses electrons to the silk material and becomes positively charged.

When you bring two positively charged glass rod's together, they repel, because like charges repel.

However, when you bring the rubber rod and a glass rod together, the attract each other because unlike/opposite charges attract.

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.

<h3>What is the average speed of the train?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Distance traveled = 221miles
  • Elapsed time = 3 hours and 40 minutes

First we convert miles to meters and Hours minutes to seconds.

221 miles = ( 221 × 1609.344 )m = 355665.024 meters

3 hours and 40 minutes = ( 3×60×60)s + ( 40×60)s

= 10800s + 2400s

= 13200s

Now, determine the average speed.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Speed = 355665.024m / 13200s

Speed = 26.944m/s

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.

A particle of charge Q is fixed at the origin of an xy coordinate system. At t = 0 a particle (m = 0.727 g, q = 2.73 µC is locat
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Q = 12.466μC

Explanation:

For the particle to execute a circular motion, the electrostatic force must be equal to the centripetal force:

Fe = \frac{K*q*Q}{r^{2}} = \frac{m*V^{2}}{r}

Solving for Q:

Q = \frac{m*V^{2}*r}{K*q}

Taking special care of all units, we can calculate the value of the charge:

Q = 12.466μC
