The answer would be B. It's really a circuit breaker but it works by comparing the amount of electrical current going to and returning from the item.

What do zooplankton and krill have in common?
serious [3.7K]
<h2><em>Hello, thank you for choosing brainly today. My name is Ethan and I'll be solving your question. </em><em><u>"What do zooplankton and krill have in common?"</u></em></h2>

Krill and plankton are two groups of organisms found in the ocean. Krill are species of crustacean related to shrimp, and serve as a very important link in the food chain of the sea. Plankton consist of a larger group of organisms with much more variety, including bacteria, algae, protozoans, jellyfish and some species of cephalopods.

Propulsion

The primary factor that determines whether a species is plankton or not is propulsion. Plankton organisms lack the ability to swim against the tide, and instead float from place to place on sea currents. They may be capable of some movement, and some types of plankton can even hunt for food, but none is powerful enough to make its own headway through the ocean. Adult krill are capable of swimming against currents, but their larvae and eggs fall into the plankton category.

Variation

Krill are crustaceans of the Euphausiacea order, which consists of 86 different species. Plankton, on the other hand, can come from a wide variety of different species and orders. Plankton fall into three broad categories, depending on their primary function. Phytoplankton are plant-like organisms, capable of photosynthesis. Zooplankton are animal plankton species that get their nutrients by eating other microscopic organisms. Bacterioplankton are the smallest plankton, and often serve as food for zooplankton and other lifeforms.

Appearance

Krill species have similar characteristics and generally resemble tiny shrimp. Most species reach around 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) as adults, while the largest species can reach sizes of up to 15 centimeters (5.9 inches). Plankton, on the other hand, consists of organisms of many different shapes and sizes. The smallest categories include microscopic viruses, protozoans, small crustaceans, and other tiny organisms. At the larger end of the scale, megaplankton are any plankton over 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) in size, and include large animals, such as cephalopods and jellyfish. The largest plankton is the lion's mane jellyfish, which can reach 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) in diameter and grow tentacles more than 36.5 meters (120 feet) long.

Role

Plankton and krill serve similar, but slightly different, roles in the food chain. Phytoplankton synthesize nutrients, while bacterioplankton recycle nutrients from decomposing matter in the ocean, providing some of the fundamental sources of nutrition for all ocean creatures. Zooplankton serve to concentrate those nutrients by eating smaller plankton and serving as food for larger creatures. Krill are one step up in the food chain, eating plankton and serving as a nutrient bridge from microscopic life forms to larger fish and mammals.

A satellite is revolving the earth 4km above the surface.find the orbital velocity of the satellite (R =6400km,g=9.8m/s^2)​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

v ≈ 7900 m/s

Explanation:

centripetal force will equal gravity force

mv²/R = mg

v²/R = g

v² = Rg

v = √(Rg)

v = √(6.4e6(9.8))

v = 7.91959...e+3

v ≈ 7900 m/s

of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of small vehicle compared to a large vehicle
Nadusha1986 [10]
The kinetic energy for a large vehicle is different from that of a smaller vehicle, assuming that the vehicles are travelling at the same speed and stopping the same distance. This is because for a larger vehicle the kinetic energy is higher, as the mass for a larger vehicle, is more than the smaller vehicle.

A 4g bullet, travelling at 589m/s embeds itself in a 2.3kg block of wood that is initially at rest, and together they travel at
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The  percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before is 0.174 %

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m₁ = 4g = 0.004kg

initial velocity of bullet, u₁ = 589 m/s

mass of block of wood, m₂ = 2.3 kg

initial velocity of the block of wood, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the system after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)

0.004(589) + 2.3(0) = v(0.004 + 2.3)

2.356 = 2.304v

v = 2.356 / 2.304

v = 1.0226 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of the system

K.E₁ = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

K.E₁ = ¹/₂(0.004)(589)² = 693.842 J

Final kinetic energy of the system

K.E₂ = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂ x 1.0226² x (0.004 + 2.3)

K.E₂ = 1.209 J

The kinetic energy left in the system = final kinetic energy of the system

The percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before = (K.E₂ / K.E₁) x 100%

                       = (1.209 / 693.842) x 100%

                        = 0.174 %

Therefore, the  percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before is 0.174 %
