Answer:

343/1500

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the product force and velocity. The S.I unit of power is Watt (w).

From the question,

P' = mg×v................. Equation 1

Where P' = power used to gain an altitude, m = mass of the engine, g = acceleration due to gravity of the engine, v = velocity of the engine.

Given: m = 700 kg, v = 2.5 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

P' = 700(2.5)(9.8)

P' = 17150 W.

If the full power generated by the engine = 75000 W

The fraction of the engine power used to make the climb = 17150/75000

= 343/1500

Why do you think there are so many more autotrophs than consumers on Earth?<br> Helppp
goldfiish [28.3K]

There are many Autotrophs than consumers because : Autotrophs are the bases of any food chain/web

<h3>Function of Autotrophs </h3>

Autotrophs capture the energy required for every food chain or web from which sustains other organisms in the food chain form sunlight and chemicals. Also there is always more biomass present in the lower levels of the trophic system as biomass decreases as we move up the food chain.

Since autotrophs are producers, for a healthy food chain there would be more autotrophs than consumers.

Hence we can conclude that There are many Autotrophs than consumers because : Autotrophs are the bases of any food chain/web

omeli [17]

Answer:

4.96m/s

Explanation:

Using mv = m'v'

m = 0.04kg

v = 285 m/s

m' = 2.3kg

v'= ?

0.04×285 = 2.3v'

V' = 11.4/2.3

= 4.96m/s
