Ecosystem is an example of system.

Explanation

The best example of a system is the ecosystem.

The energy flow in the ecosystem starts from the sun which is the primary source of producing energy.

The sun provides energy to the plants and which will transfer energy to the animals or humans consuming them.

The energy is further transferred between the organisms by consumption of other organisms.

Even the decayed organisms are converted to fuel energy and the waste or unused energy is released as heat in the atmosphere.

Thus in the ecosystem, the law of conservation of energy is maintained as the energy transferred by the Sun to other organisms can be again converted to fossil energy once they have decayed.

When the temperature of ice-cold water is increased slightly, does it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?
miss Akunina [59]

From the freezing temperature up to about 4°C (39°F) the water CONTRACTS.  That is, it becomes MORE dense.  I think I read that water is the ONLY known substance whose solid phase floats in its liquid phase.  That's why the cubes float in your soda and bergs float in the ocean.  And if weren't so, then life on Earth would not be possible !  Oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, ONE TIME, and then never thaw again.

What is the equation for the potential energy stored in a spring when it is stretched or compressed?
gregori [183]

Answer:

if you stretch a spring with k = 2, with a force of 4N, the extension will be 2m. the work done by us here is 4x2=8J. in other words, the energy transferred to the spring is 8J. but, the stored energy in the spring equals 1/2x2x2^2=4J (which is half of the work done by us in stretching it).

If an exit sign is hanging from the ceiling by three chains each of which has a tension of 15N what is the weight of the sign
kvasek [131]
The weight is 45 N, because the three chains hold the sign, and each contributes 15 N.

Notice that the mass would be the weight/acceleration of gravity, m = 45/9.8 kg. But they ask the weight (force, so Newtons)
