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).

What is the gravitational force of attraction between a planet and a 17-kilogram mass that is falling freely toward the surface
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. 150 N

Explanation:

Gravitational Force: This is the force that act on a body under gravity.

The gravitational force always attract every object on or near the earth's surface. The earth therefore, exerts an attractive force on every object on or near it.

The S.I unit of gravitational force is Newton(N).

Mathematically, gravitational force of attraction is expressed as

(i) F = GmM/r² ........................ Equation 1 ( when it involves two object of different masses on the earth)

(ii) F = mg ............................... Equation 2 ( when it involves one mass and the gravitational field).

Given: m = 17 kg, g = 8.8 m/s²

Substituting into equation 2,

F = 17(8.8)

F = 149.6 N

F ≈ 150 N.

Thus the gravitational force = 150 N

The correct option is a. 150 N

Hope you can answer this: A Student Visits A Farm And Makes These Notes In Her Journal.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Common Sense

Explanation:

The chick has probably seen other chicks get caught by the Hawk and knows not to go near, or saw a giant bird flying straight towards it and used common sense to identify it as danger and run away. Although if this is for a test or a grade or something, please do not use the answer, it is most likely incorrect. This is honestly my best answer.

A thick steel sheet of area 100 in.2 is exposed to air near the ocean. After a one-year period it was found to experience a weig
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

Explanation:

The corrosion rate is the rate of material remove.The formula for calculating CPR or corrosion penetration rate is

CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}

K= constant depends on the system of units used.

W= weight =485 g

D= density =7.9 g/cm³

A = exposed specimen area =100 in² =6.452 cm²

K=534 to give CPR in mpy

K=87.6  to give CPR in mm/yr

mpy

CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}

        =\frac{534\times( 485g)\times( 10^3mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3) \times (100in^2)\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}

        =37.4mpy

mm/yr

CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}

        =\frac{87.6\times (485g)\times (10^3 mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3)\times (100in^2)\times(2.54cm/in)^2\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}

       =0.952 mm/yr

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

A 1.25 in. by 3 in. rectangular steel bar is used as a diagonal tension member in a bridge truss. the diagonal member is 20 ft l
pentagon [3]

Answer:

axial stress in the diagonal bar =36,000 psi

Explanation:

Assuming we have to find axial stress

Given:

width of steel bar: 1.25 in.

height of the steel bar: 3 in

Length of the diagonal member = 20ft

modulus of elasticity E= 30,000,000 psi

strain in the diagonal member ε = 0.001200 in/in

Therefore, axial stress in the diagonal bar σ = E×ε

=  30,000,000 psi×  0.001200 in/in =36,000 psi

You traveled 150.meters south at a speed of 1.50m/s, and then traveled 600. Meters north at a rate of 2.00 m/s.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

1.) 400s

2.) 1.875 m/s

3.) 1.125 m/s

Explanation:

Given that you traveled 150.meters south at a speed of 1.50m/s,

Time = distance/ speed

Substitute speed and distance into the formula

Time = 150/1.5

Time = 100 s

and then traveled 600. Meters north at a rate of 2.00 m/s.

Time = 600 / 2

Time = 300 s

1.) Total time = 100 + 300

Total time = 400 s

2.) The average speed will be total distance travelled over total time.

Total distance travelled = 150 + 600

Total distance travelled = 750 m

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

Average speed = 750/400

Average speed = 1.875 m/s

3.) Average velocity will be displacement over total time

Displacement = 600 - 150

Displacement = 450 m

Average velocity = 450/400

Average velocity = 1.125 m/s
