How much energy is passed from one trophic level to the next

1 answer:

6 0

The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

When you look at a white light bulb through red sunglasses, why does the light look red to your eyes? What happened to all the o

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The answer is explained below in explanation

Explanation:

Whenever light falls on a colored surface, that color of light is reflected by the surface and all the other colors are absorbed. That is a black body appears black in all lights, because it absorbs every color and a white surface appears to be of the color of the light shone upon it because it is the mixture of all colors of light and reflects every color. The eyes only see the reflected light colors. The absorbed colors are not apparent to the eyes.

<u>Hence, when the white bulb is seen through red sunglasses, it does look like red to our eyes, while all the other colors are absorbed by the sun glasses.</u>

A Ferris wheel turns at a constant 150.0 revolutions per hour. (a) Express this rate of rotation in units of radians per second.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.261 rad/s

(b) 1007.72 m

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the Ferris wheel is 150.0 revolutions per hour.

(a) To calculate the angular velocity of the wheel in units of radians per second, you take into account the following equivalence:

1 hour = 3600 seconds

1 revolution = 2π radians

You use the previous conversion factors:

$150.0\ \frac{rev}{h}*\frac{2\pi \ rad}{1\ rev}*\frac{1\ h}{3600\ s}=0.261\frac{rad}{s}$

In units of radians per seconds the wheel turns at 0.261 rad/s

(b) To find the arc length described by the wheel, you first calculate the angle described by the wheel in the time t, by using the following formula:

$\theta=\omega t$ (1)

ω: angular velocity = 0.261 rad/s

t: time = 4.95 min

You first convert the time to units of seconds

$4.95min*\frac{60s}{1min}=297s$

Next, you replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

$\theta=(0.261\frac{rad}{s})(297s)=77.51rad$

Next, you use the following formula for the arc length:

$s=r\theta$ (2)

r: radius of the wheel = 13.0 m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$s=(13.0m)(77.51rad)=1007.72m$

The arc length described by the wheel is 1007.72m

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

#see details below.

Explanation:

-The net distance travelled would double because they had double the horizontal speed.

-The marbels would consequently spend about the same time in the air since vertical motion is not affected.

Can you go around a curve with zero acceleration? Explain

Serjik [45]

“Yes, it is impossible to go around the curved path with zero acceleration. Acceleration is change in velocity. And velocity( speed+ direction) changes at every point in a curved path because there is change in direction at every point.”
