3. Learn: Energy is transferred along food chains, however, the amount of available energy decreases from one

1 answer:

8 0

''Energy is destroyed because animals are higher levels do not need as much energy'' is not the valid reason.

<h3>What is respiration?</h3>

Respiration is the cellular process of releasing energy from food. Some of the energy released is used to produce ATP. 90 percent of energy is lost as heat energy whereas 10 percent energy is transferred to other trophic levels.

So we can conclude that ''Energy is destroyed because animals are higher levels do not need as much energy'' is not the valid reason.

A 49 kg bear slides, from rest, 11 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 3.3 m/s just before hitting the ground.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

a) $\Delta U_g=-5.3kJ$

b) $K=0.27kJ$

c) $F_f=0.45kN$

Explanation:

the gravitational potential energy is given by:

$U_g=m.g.h\\$

$\Delta U_g=m.g.h_f-m.g.h_i\\\Delta U_g=49kg*9.8m/s^2*(0m-11m)\\\Delta U_g=-5.3kJ$

The kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^2\\$

the initial kinetic energy is zero because the motion started from rest, so:

$K=\frac{1}{2}*49kg*(3.3m/s^2)^2\\K=0.27kJ$

applying the conservation of energy theorem:

$U_g-W_f=K_f\\W_f=-(\Delta K+\Delta U)\\W_F=5.3kJ-0.27kJ\\W_F=-5.0kJ$

The work done by the friction force is given by:

$W_f=F_f.h.cos(\theta)\\$

the angle of the force is 180 degrees because it's against the movement:

$F_f=\frac{W_f}{h.cos(\theta)}\\\\F_f=\frac{-5.0kJ}{11m.cos(180^o)}\\\\F_f=0.45kN$

A force of 40N is applied to a 28 g mass, what is the acceleration? (round to the hundredths place)

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

1428.6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force applied on the body = 40N

Mass of the body = 28g

1000g = 1kg

28g will therefore be 0.028kg

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression derived from Newton's second law of motion.

Force = mass x acceleration

Insert the parameters and solve;

40 = 0.028 x acceleration

Acceleration = $\frac{40}{0.028}$ = 1428.6m/s²

Newton’s first law says that a body will remain in a state of rest, or move in a straight line at a constant speed, unless it is

dangina [55]

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

The Hubble is continually attracted to the earth due to the action of gravity. Therefore, it is thanks to gravity that the space telescope is kept in orbit. Without him, the direct motion generated by inertia would take him out of course. Gravity slows it down and keeps it in the curved path of its orbit around the Earth.
