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 box, initially at rest, has 36.7 N of force exerted on it for 2.81 s. If the box has a mass of 7.41 kg, what was its velocity

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

13.91 m/s

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration:

Acceleration = Force/mass

Acceleration = 36.7N/7.41 kg

Acceleration = 4.95 m/s² (rounded to two decimal places)

Then we find the velocity:

Velocity = Acceleration * Time

Velocity = 4.95 m/s² * 2.81 s

Velocity = 13.91 m/s (rounded to two decimal places)

Answer:

1. telescope

$f = \frac{r}{2}$

$f = \frac{r}{2}$ f- focal length

$f = \frac{r}{2}$ f- focal length r- the radius of curvature of the mirror

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{l}$

p-the distance of the object from the vertex of the mirror

l-the distance of the figure from the vertex of the mirror

What happens to a circuit's resistance (R), voltage (V), and current (1) when

hammer [34]

Answer:

R increases

V is constant

I decreases

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

$R = \frac{(Resistivity)(L)}{A}$

It is clear from this formula that resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire. So, when length of wire is increased, the resistance of circuit increases.

The voltage in the circuit will be constant as the voltage source remains same and it is not changed.

Now, we can use Ohm Law:

V = IR

at constant V:

I ∝ 1/R

it means that current is inversely proportional to resistance. Hence, the increase of resistance causes the current in circuit to decrease.

Therefore, the correct option will be:

D.

R increases

V is constant

I decreases

Planet Nine is speculated to be on average 20 times farther away from the Sun than Neptune (on average distance from the Sun). H

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The distance is 55.636 billion miles, or 528.2 AU.

Explanation:

Since the distance from the Sun to Neptune is 2.7818 billion miles, the distance from the Sun to Planet Nine would be 20 times that, which is:

$d=(20)(2781800000\ miles)=55636000000\ miles$

or 55.636 billion miles.

Since 1 astronomical unit (AU) is 93 million miles, that distance is also:

$d=(55636000000\ miles)(\frac{1AU}{93000000\ miles})=598.2\ AU$
