Answer:

Because there is less energy at higher trophic levels

Explanation:

In a food chain that shows the feeding levels of organisms in an ecosystem, energy decreases as you move from the lowest trophic level to the highest trophic level.
The lowest trophic level consists of producers which have the highest energy as they trap energy directly from the sunlight.
The energy is lost from one trophic level to the next up to the highest trophic level which has the lowest energy.
Therefore, organisms at the highest trophic level are fewer in number but large in size.

A 4.60 gg coin is placed 19.0 cmcm from the center of a turntable. The coin has static and kinetic coefficients of friction with

Komok [63]

Answer:

62.64 RPM.

Explanation:

Given that

m= 4.6 g

r= 19 cm

μs = 0.820

μk = 0.440.

The angular speed of the turntable = ω rad/s

Condition just before the slipping starts

The maximum value of the static friction force =Centripetal force

$\mu_s\ m g=m\ \omega^2\ r\\ \omega^2=\dfrac{\mu_s\ m g}{m r}\\ \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{\mu_s\ g}{ r}}\\ \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.82\times 10}{ 0.19}}\ rad/s\\\omega= 6.56\ rad/s$

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi N}{60}\\N=\dfrac{60\times \omega}{2\pi }\\N=\dfrac{60\times 6.56}{2\pi }\ RPM\\N=62.64\ RPM$

Therefore the speed in RPM will be 62.64 RPM.

1. The Moon's mass is 7.34 x 1022 kg, and it is 3.8 x 105 km away from Earth. Earth's

sineoko [7]

Answer:

2.03 x 10²⁴N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of moon = 7.34 x 10²²kg

Mass of the earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴kg

Distance = 3.8 x 10⁵km

Unknown:

Gravitational force of attraction = ?

Solution:

To find the gravitational force of attraction between the masses, we use the expression below;

F = $\frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

G is the universal gravitation constant

m is the mass

1 and 2 represents moon and earth

r is the distance

F = $\frac{6.67 x 10^{-11} x 7.34 x 10^{22} x 5.97 x 10^{24} }{(3.8 x 10^{5})^{2} }$

F = $\frac{2.92 x 10^{35} }{1.44 x 10^{11} }$ = 2.03 x 10²⁴N

The Hubble telescope’s orbit is 5.6 × 105 meters above Earth’s surface. The telescope has a mass of 1.1 × 104 kilograms. Earth e

djverab [1.8K]

The gravitational field is the Force divided by the mass

Call g the gravitational fiel, F the force exerted by the earth and m the mass of the telescope.

g = F / m

g=9.1x10^4 N / 1.1 x 10^4 kg = 8.27 N/kg

Note that the unit N/kg is equivalent to m/s^2
