Approximately how many kilograms (kg) of carnivore (secondary consumer) biomass can be supported by an area of a field containin

Only 10 Kg of secondary consumers can be supported by the ecosystem.

There exists such a thing as the 10% rule in the transfer of energy in biomass from one trophic level to another. This rule ultimately controls the mass of biomass that is available at the next higher trophic level.

This rule state that only 10% of the energy in biomass is transferred to the next trophic level. By this rule, only 10% of the energy in the plant material is transferred to the carnivore population. Therefore, only 10 Kg of secondary consumers can be supported by the ecosystem.

Suppose you monitor a large number (many thousands) of stars over a period of 3 years, searching for planets through the transit
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2. You must be able to precisely measure variations in the star's brightness with time.

5. As seen from Earth, the planet's orbit must be seen nearly edge–on (in the plane of our line-of-sight).

6. You must repeatedly obtain spectra of the star that the planet orbits.

Explanation:

The transit method is a very important and effective tool for discovering new exoplanets (the planets orbiting other stars out of the solar system). In this method the stars are observed for a long duration. When the exoplanet will cross in front of theses stars as seen from Earth, the brightness of the star will dip. To observe this dip following conditions must be met:

1. The orbit of the planet should be co-planar with the plane of our line of sight. Then only its transition can be observed.

2. The brightness of the star must be observed precisely as the period of transit can be less than a second as seen from Earth. Also the dip in brightness depends on the size of the planet. If the planet is not that big the intensity dip will be very less.

3. The spectrum of the star needs to be studied and observe during the transit and normally to find out the details about the planets.

4. Also, the orbital period should be less than the period of observation for the transit to occur at least once.

What can be broken down into tiny fundamental subatomic particles?
Nana76 [90]

The correct answer is matter. Matter is a physical substance, so it is that only option provided that can be broken down to the subatomic particle level.

A e limb of mass 12kg falls straight down. If air resistance exerts 27 N of froce on the limb as it falls, what is the net force
Gelneren [198K]
During the falling down, two forces are present: gravitational force and air resistance.

So, the net force = mg - f = 12*9.8 - 27 = 90.6 N, the positive sign indicates the direction is pointing towards the center of the earth, which is the same as gravitational force
