The scientific law of one organism feeding off to other where energy is transferred from one form to another is known as the law of conservation of energy.

Explanation-

Energy from the the highest energy source that is sun is absorbed by plants to convert it into food (i.e a form of energy). plants are the only ones that can convert sunlight into another form of energy directly.

The animals and organisms that feed off of the plants take some part of this energy for their life cycles and then the animals that feed off of these animals again take some part of this energy and carry on with their life cycle, this is how energy from sun (highest source) is transferred to different organisms by Just changing form.

Answer:

Law of conservation of energy

Explanation:

As per the law of conservation of energy 'Energy in a system can neither created nor destroyed but it can be transformed from its one form to another'. In the given question, energy is coming from the sun which is primary and biggest source of energy. So energy of get transformed by the process of photosynthesis to the food of trees in the ecosystem. Then from primary food chain to successive food chains in the ecosystem by ten percent rule( only 10% energy  passes from one level to another in the food chain).

Answer:

The time to boil the water is 877 s

Explanation:

The first thing we must do is calculate the external resistance (R) of the circuit, from the description we notice that it is a series circuit, by which the resistors are added

    V = i (r + R)

We replace we calculate

     r + R = V / i

     R = v / i - r

     R = 10/12 -0.04

     R = 0.793 Ω

We calculate the power supplied

     P = V i = I² R

     P = 12² 0.793

     P = 114 W

This is the power dissipated in the external resistance

We use the relationship, that power is work per unit of time and that work is the variation of energy

     P = E / t

     t = E / P

     t = 100 10³/114

     t = 877 s

The time to boil the water is 877 s

A 0.20-kg object attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius = 80 cm). at the top of the circle the spee
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Tension in the string at this position: 3.1 N.

Explanation:

Convert the radius of the circle to meters:

r = 80\;\text{cm} = 0.80\;\text{m}.

What's the net force on the object?

The object is in a circular motion. As a result,

\displaystyle \Sigma F = \frac{m\cdot v^{2}}{r},

where

  • \Sigma F is the net force on the object,
  • m is the mass of the object,
  • v is the velocity of the object, and
  • r is the radius of the circular motion.

For this object,

\displaystyle \Sigma F = \frac{0.20\times {4.5}^{2}}{0.80} = 5.0625\;\text{N}.

The output unit of net force should be standard if the unit for mass, velocity, and radius are all standard. The net force shall always point towards the center. In this case the net force points downwards.

What are the forces on this object?

There are two forces on the object at this moment:

  • Weight, W, which points downwards. W = m\cdot g = 0.20\times 9.81 = 1.962\;\text{N}.
  • Tension, T, which also points downwards. The size of the tension force needs to be found.

What's the size of the tension force?

Gravity and tension points in the same direction. The size of their resultant force is the sum of the two forces. In other words,

\Sigma F = T + W.

T = \Sigma F - W = 5.0625 - 1.962 = 3.1.

All three values in this question are given with two sig. fig. Round the value of T to the same number of significant figures.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Sugars...

Explanation:

Several meteorites have been found to carry molecules of sugars that are essential for life. These sugars include Ribose, Arabinose and Xylose. These are found in meteorites that are rich in carbon. These significant discoveries can pave way in finding the origin of life on Earth.

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 13.5 n accelerates at 6.5 m/s^2 to the right. what is the mass of the ball?
Art [367]

Answer:

2.08 kg

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, the ball is kicked with a force of F=13.5 N, and its acceleration is a=6.5 m/s^2, therefore we can re-arrange the equation to find the mass of the ball, m:

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{13.5 N}{6.5 m/s^2}=2.08 kg
