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 high speed train is traveling at a speed of 44.7 m/s when the engineer sounds the 415 Hz warning horn. The speed of sound is 3

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of the source of sound = v = 44.7 m/s

Speed of sound = V = 343 m/s

a) Apparent frequency as the train approaches = f = [V /(V -v) ] × f

= [343 / (343 - 44.7) ] × 415 = 477.18 Hz

Wave length = λ = v / f = 343 / 477.18 = 0.719 m

b) Frequency heard as the train leaves = f ' = [V / ( V + v) ] f

= [343 / { 343 + 44.7 ) ] x 415

= 367.2 Hz

Wavelength when leaving = v / f = 343 / 367.2 = 0.934 m

Alright, to begin with. The unit of Force is in Newtons. Meaning the first two options are out of the answers. Now in order to find the force. You will need to take the mass and multiply that by the acceleration. Which will give you 26.75 Newtons.
