Answer:

Why is there less energy at each trophic level?

Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. ... A food chain can usually sustain no more than six energy transfers before all the energy is used up.

A computer simulation showing models of planes crashing is a good way to study the effects of plane safety.why?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Flight simulators are widely used for pilot training in the aviation industry, military pilot training, simulation of disasters or failures in flight, and aircraft development.

These simulations are used for pilot training, whose essential function is to train the crew in normal, abnormal and emergency procedures, before and during flight, practicing innumerable situations, such as: failures in electronic systems, loss of power, tailwinds and many others, which cannot be done safely with an aircraft in real situations. Explains to the new pilots the movements and attitudes of the ships, becoming a fundamental part of the training, saving lives and large economic losses.

These simulations allow knowing the causes of each plane crash in order to modify the operating procedures and training, so that its repetition is avoided. Flight safety investigations are complex and analyze numerous factors, and rather than investigating the persons responsible, it tries to find out the causes of the incident, considering human factors and technical issues.
