Answer:

True, the flow of energy through living systems can be modeled as food chains

Explanation:

A food chain shows how energy flows from one organism to another. In general, energy flows from the Sun to producers and then to consumers. The path is linear as

the energy present in one step is transferred to the next.

For example, grasses and scattered trees growing in a field,the grass and trees are producers that use sunlight to carry out

photosynthesis. Grasshoppers are herbivores that live in grassland ecosystems. They get energy

by eating grass and leaves.

A car is driving at 85 km/h and the driver spots a stop sign ahead. What coefficient of friction is needed to stop the car at th

almond37 [142]

Answer:

μ = 0.0315

Explanation:

Since the car moves on a horizontal surface, if we sum forces equal to zero on the Y-axis, we can determine the value of the normal force exerted by the ground on the vehicle. This force is equal to the weight of the cart (product of its mass by gravity)

N = m*g (1)

The friction force is equal to the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction.

F = μ*N (2)

This way replacing 1 in 2, we have:

F = μ*m*g (2)

Using the theorem of work and energy, which tells us that the sum of the potential and kinetic energies and the work done on a body is equal to the final kinetic energy of the body. We can determine an equation that relates the frictional force to the initial speed of the carriage, so we will determine the coefficient of friction.

$\frac{1}{2} *m*v_{i}^{2}-(F*d)= \frac{1}{2} *m*v_{f}^{2}$

where:

vf = final velocity = 0

vi = initial velocity = 85 [km/h] = 23.61 [m/s]

d = displacement = 900 [m]

F = friction force [N]

The final velocity is zero since when the vehicle has traveled 900 meters its velocity is zero.

Now replacing:

(1/2)*m*(23.61)^2 = μ*m*g*d

0.5*(23.61)^2 = μ*9,81*900

μ = 0.0315
