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.

Ahat [919]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Two loudspeakers are placed 1.8 m apart. They play tones of equal frequency. If you stand 3.0 m in front of the speakers, and exactly between them, you hear a minimum of intensity. As you walk parallel to the plane of the speakers, staying 3.0 m away, the sound intensity increases until reaching a maximum when you are directly in front of one of the speakers. The speed of sound in the room is 340 m/s.

What is the frequency of the sound?

Solution :

Given :

The distance between the two loud speakers, d = 1.8 \ m

The speaker are in phase and so the path difference is zero constructive interference occurs.

At the point D, the speakers are out of phase and so the path difference is $=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

Therefore,

$AD-BD = \frac{\lambda}{2}

$\sqrt{(1.8)^2+(3)^2-3} =\frac{\lambda}{2}$

$\lambda = 2 \times 0.4985$

$\lambda = 0.99714 \ m$

Thus the frequency is :

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f=\frac{340}{0.99714}$

f=340.9744 Hz

Aneli [31]

Answer:

–77867 m/s/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration = (final velocity – Initial velocity) /time

a = (v – u) / t

With the above formula, we can obtain acceleration of the ball as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (–23.9 – 34.5) / 0.00075

a = –58.4 / 0.00075

a = –77867 m/s/s

Thus, the acceleration of the ball is –77867 m/s/s.
