How does the way that matter cycles through an ecosystem differ from the way that energy flows?

1 answer:

7 0

Unlike the one-way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems. Every living organism needs nutrients to build tissues and carry out essential life functions.

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air

Bess [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity of the ball = 20 m/s

angle of ramp = 22°

ball travel at a distance = 5 m

a) for friction less

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 - mgh$

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gh$

$v = \sqrt{u^2- 2 g h cos 22^0}$

$v = \sqrt{20^2- 2\times 9.8 \times 5 cos 22^0 }$

v = 17.58 m/s

b) considering the friction

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 - mgh-\mu_kmgl$

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gh-2\mu_kmgl$

$v = \sqrt{u^2- 2 g h cos 22^0-2\mu_kgl}$

$v = \sqrt{20^2- 2\times 9.8 \times 5 cos 22^0-2\times 0.15\times 9.8 \times 5 }$

v = 17.16 m/s

A 1500 kg elevator, suspended by a single cable with tension 16.0 kN, is measured to be moving upward at 1.2 m/s. Air resistance

kirill115 [55]

Tension in the Cable is 0.87 m/s6^2, Elevator's speed after it has moved 10m is 1.6*10^5 N, Work done by gravity is 1.47 * 10^3 N, Elevator Kinetic Energy is 13897.5J and Elevator Speed after rising to 10m is 4.312 m/s.

Tension is a pulling force that operates in one dimension along the cables' axes in the opposite direction from the direction of the applied force. The combined weight of the elevator box and the passenger riding inside it, in the case of an elevator, provides the pulling force in the cables is called Tension.

A moving object or particle's kinetic energy, which depends on both mass and speed, is one of its characteristics. The type of motion can be vibration, translation, rotation around an axis, or any combination of these. Kinetic energy is a type of energy that an item or particle possesses as a result of motion.

We know that,

Tension in the Cable

T = m(g+a) = g+a = T/m = 16 * 103 / 1500 = 10.67 m/s2

a = 10.67 - 9.8 = 0.87 m/s6^2

Elevator's speed after it has moved 10m.

U^2 = u^2 +2as

= 1.22 +2*0.87*10

=1.6*10^5 N

Work done by gravity = mg * 10 = 14700 * 10 = 1.47 * 10^3 N

Elevator Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2*1500*18.53 = 13897.5J

Elevator Speed after rising to 10m ,

U^2 = u^2 +2as = 1.2 +2*0.87*10 = 18.6

U =(18.6)^1/2=4.312 m/s

a 100g ice cube at 0 degrees celsius is placed in 650 grams of water at 25 degrees celsius. When the mixture reaches equillibriu

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The latent heat of fusion of water is 334.88 Joules per gram of water.

Explanation:

Let the latent heat of ice be 'x' J/g

1) Thus heat absorbed by 100 gram of ice to get converted into water equals

$Q_1=100\times x$

2) heat energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 25 degree Celsius equals

$Q_2=100\times 4.186\times 11=4604.6Joules$

Thus total energy needed equals $Q_1+Q_2=100x+4604.6$

3) Heat energy released by the decrease in the temperature of water from 25 to 11 degree Celsius is

$Q_3=650\times 4.186\times (25-11)\\\\Q_{3}=38092.6Joules$

Now by conservation of energy we have

$Q_1+Q_2=Q_3\\\\100x+4604.6=38092.6\\\\\therefore x=\frac{38092.6-4604.6}{100}=334.88J/g$
