Only 10% of energy available at each trophic level moves on to the next level. What happens to the other 90%

1 answer:

5 0

The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

What is the relationship between the electric field strength at a point and its distances from the source charge?

diamong [38]

Explanation:

The intensity of electric field from a certain point that is assumed is proportional inversely to the square of distance’s magnitude from source. As one can see the electric field intensity is proportional inversely. Then the increase in magnitude of the space between source charge the electric field intensity decreases.

Since the proportionality is to square of distance, hence change or increase in distance is squared and that many times intensity of electric field decreases. So relation between them is inverse proportionality.

Acidity is a measure of the amount of dissolved hydroxide ions in a solution.

Gekata [30.6K]

The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is a measure of its acidity. So the correct option is (b) false.

When an Arrhenius acid is dissolved in water, hydrogen ions are produced:

H+(aq) + A- = HA + H2O (aq)

Here, H+ is the hydrogen cation, A- is the solvated anion, also known as the conjugate base, and HA is the non-dissociated acid. When an Arrhenius base is dissolved in water, hydroxide ions are produced:

BOH + H2O → B+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Is a material with at least one hydrogen atom that has the ability to split apart in an aqueous solution to produce an anion and an H + ion (a proton), creating an acidic solution. Bases are substances that, when dissolved in water, create hydroxide ions (OH) and a cation, resulting in a basic solution.

A group of students are measuring how the acceleration of a mass will change due to a force.

Fudgin [204]

The graph of the plot of acceleration against force is a straight line graph. Option B

<h3>What is the relationship between force and acceleration?</h3>

From the Newton's second law of motion we can derive that; F = ma

F= mass

a = acceleration.

This implies that the acceleration and the mass of a body has a linear relationship. We could then assert that the force is directly proportional to the acceleration with the mass being the constant in the equation.

As such, the force that is imparted to the body is what determines the acceleration and the both increases or decreases linearly. Thus the graph of the plot of acceleration against force is a straight line graph. Option B

Which type of wires (copper, aluminum, or string) are ferromagnetic metals and why?

nalin [4]

Answer: Copper isn't ferromagnetic,

Aluminum isn't ferromagnetic,

String has a ferromagnetic property

Explanation: first of all it is important to understand that all materials have diamagnetic effect.

From this we can explain two distinct property which is Paramagnetism and Ferromagnetism.

1.What do we understand by a paramagnetic material?

Ans- this describes a material that doesn't retain it's magnetic property even when the magnetic field has been removed, an example is Aluminum.

2. Ferromagnetic materials describes those type of materials that even after the removal of magnetic field retains it's magnetism. A good example of this is Iron, nickel etc.

By definition ferromagnetism is a basic property ( which depends on temperature, crystal Structure, chemical composition, etc.) That gives a material that attraction to magnet's and can form permanent magnet.

So from the examples listed in the question,

1. copper doesn't follow as a ferromagnetic material because it requires so much magnetic field to operate and is so weakly magnetized.

2. We already established aluminium as a paramagnetic material because of its weak ability to retain magnetism in the absence of magnetic field.

3. String because of its component which is (iron+carbon) has the ability to form ferrous metals.
