Which organism would be a top consumer in a food chain

Physics

1 answer:

Kruka [31]2 years ago

Answer: A herbivore.

Explanation:

A herbivore would be a top consumer in a food chain because they are primary consumers which leads you to secondary consumers who are carnivores to make sure they don't get to over populated and keep balance.

Two electrons with a charge of magnitude 1.6×10-19 C in an atom are separated by 1.5×10-10 m, the typical size of an atom. What

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N$ , repulsive

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charged particles is given by Coulomb's law:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the two charges of the two particles

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is:

- repulsive if the two charges have same sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite signs

In this problem, we have two electrons, so:

$q_1=q_2=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the two electrons

$r=1.5\cdot 10^{-10} m$ is their separation

Substituting into the formula, we find the electric force between them:

$F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})^2}{(1.5\cdot 10^{-10})^2}=1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N$

And the force is repulsive, since the two electrons have same sign charge.

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar

just olya [345]

<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

Consider a large tank holding 1000 L of pure water into which a brine solution of salt begins to owat a constant rate of 6L/min.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

T = 693.147 minutes

Explanation:

The tank is being continuously stirred. So let the salt concentration of the tank at some time t be x in units of kg/L.

Therefore, the total salt in the tank at time t = 1000x kg

Brine water flows into the tank at a rate of 6 L/min which has a concentration of 0.1 kg/L

Hence, the amount of salt that is added to the tank per minute = $(6\times0.1)kg/min=0.6kg/min$

Also, there is a continuous outflow from the tank at a rate of 6 L/min.

Hence, amount of salt subtracted from the tank per minute = 6x kg/min

Now, the rate of change of salt concentration in the tank = $\frac{dx}{dt}$

So, the rate of change of salt in the tank can be given by the following equation,

$1000\frac{dx}{dt} =0.6-6x$

or, $\int\limits^{0.05}_0 {\frac{1000}{0.6-6x} } \, dx =\int\limits^T_0 {} \, dt$

or, T = 693.147 min (time taken for the tank to reach a salt concentration

of 0.05 kg/L)
