To explain the statement "10 kg of deer's meat is equivalent to 1 kg of lion's flesh" in relation to energy transfer in an ecosystem, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Energy Transfer**: - In an ecosystem, energy transfer occurs in a unidirectional manner. This means that energy flows in one direction, from producers to consumers. 2. **Food Chain Concept**: ...

A 60 kg boy running at 5.0 m//s while playing basketball falls down on the floor and skids along on his leg until he stopes. How many calories of heat are generated between his leg and the floor? Assume that all this heat energy is confined to a volume of 2.0cm^3 of his flesh. What will be temperature change of the flesh? Assume c=1.0(cal)/(g^@C) and rho=950(kg)/(m^3) for flesh.

Two particles of masses 1kg and 2kg respectively are initially 10m aprt. At time t=0 , they start moving towards each other with uniform speeds 2m//s and 1m//s respectively. Find the displacement of their centre of mass at t=1s .

A ball of mass 3 kg is thrown upwards with velocity 20 m/s. After 1 s it explodes in 2 pieces one of mass 1 kg and other or 2 kg. After explosion both the pices maintain their vertical velocities but on ground they fall 90 m aport Energy produced (in joule) during explosion is

An ice cube of mass 0.1 kg at 0^@C is placed in an isolated container which is at 227^@C . The specific heat s of the container varies with temperature T according to the empirical relation s=A+BT , where A= 100 cal//kgK and B = 2xx (10^-2) cal//kg . If the final temperature of the container is 27^@C , determine the mass of the container. (Latent heat of fusion for water = 8xx (10^4) cal//kg , specific heat of water =10^3 cal//kg-K ).
