Explanation:

Energy pyramid: is a model that shows the flow of energy from one feeding level to the next in an ecosystem. It compares the energy used by organisms at each trophic level.

Unit: kilocalories (kcal).

While Biomass pyramid is a statistical graph that shows the biomass present in a unit area of various trophic levels. It shows the relationship between biomass and trophic level. It quantifies the amount of biomass available in each trophic level of an energy community at a given time.

Unit: grams per square meter (g/m^2), or calories per square meter (K/m^2).

The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
So since the boat has a lower density than the water, it will float.
So the answer is choice B

The intensity at distance from a spherically symmetric sound source is 100 W/m2. What is the intensity at five times this distan

ss7ja [257]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.

Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

The area of a sphere is given by

$A = 4\pi r^2$

So replacing we have to

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

Since the question tells us to find the proportion when

$r_1 = 5r_2 \rightarrow \frac{r_2}{r_1} = \frac{1}{5}$

So considering the two intensities we have to

$I_1 = \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}$

$I_2 = \frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}$

The ratio between the two intensities would be

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{ \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}}{\frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}}$

The power does not change therefore it remains constant, which allows summarizing the expression to

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=(\frac{r_2}{r_1})^2$

Re-arrange to find $I_2$

$I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2$

$I_2 = 100*(\frac{1}{5})^2$

$I_2 = 4W/m^2$

Therefore the intensity at five times this distance from the source is $4W/m^2$

An engineer is designing a runway for a witch. Several brooms will use the runway and the engineer must design it so that it is

jonny [76]

Answer:

1170 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.30 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 88.0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(88.0 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3.30 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 1173.33 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the runway must be at least 1170 meters long.
