5 0

Answer:

548800J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of roller coaster  = 800kg

Height of hill  = 70m

Unknown:

Change in potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The change in potential energy is the difference between the potential energy at the bottom and at the top.

Potential energy at the bottom is 0J

  So;

      Change in potential energy  = mgh - 0

m is the mass, g is the acceleration, h is the height

  Change in potential energy  = 800 x 9.8 x 70  = 548800J

Discuss the effects of breaking a food chain.
Tom [10]

Explanation:

Food chain is linear sequence of the organisms through which the nutrients and the energy pass as one organism eats the another.

<u>If one species in the food chain ceases to exist, the other members in rest of chain could cease to exist too or may increase in population which can affect other food chains. (Breaking of food chain).</u>

This is because the animals in the food chain are dependent on the nutrient present in the another.

For example in the food chain,

Grass ----  Deer ------ Lion

If all deer extinct, the lion will die as they will have nothing to feed on and the population of grass increases.
