How can energy be lost in a food chain?
Energy can be lost in a food chain by heat or waste.
When a moving object hits another can energy be lost?
No energy is lost in such a collision, although kinetic energy is converted into thermal and possibly into potential energy.
What percent of energy is lost as heat?
Ninety percent of energy is lost as heat when an organism is consumed. for example if i ate an apple with 1,000 goels of energy,I'll only get 100 goels of energy.Then if a lion were to eat me, it would only get 10 goels of energy.The rest is lost as heat energy.
What happens to the amount of energy as you go up the energy pyramid?
Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
Energy that is lost to heat has merely been converted to another form not lost forever?
true
Where does energy go when it is transferred?
It is lost as heat.
How do you Test a rheostat?
how to test a rheostat?
Why does the pendulum not go as high when it swings back Where does lost potential energy go?
Most of it gets lost as friction.
Where does the lost energy go?
energy is never lost. It is either converted from one form of energy to another (from heat to mechanical, from mechanical to electric, from electric to heat).
Is energy lost when energy changes?
Energy is never lost or destroyed.
How do you install a rheostat in 1999 626 Mazda?

How is waste heat is inevitable in ecosystems?
Energy is neither created nor destroyed by chemical processes, merely transferred. Since energy is also lost every time energy is transferred between organisms, that lost heat must go somewhere. That lost energy becomes waste heat in the environment.
What type of energy is lost energy on energy?
energy can not be lost it can only be transported into other things
Where does the energy go?
energy is never lost. It is either converted from one form of energy to another (from heat to mechanical, from mechanical to electric, from electric to heat).
How do you take out the light rheostat on a 95 Monte Carlo?
How do you take a rheostat out of a 2003 monte carlo
What is the purpose of a rheostat in the determination of an unknown resistor?
In a bridge circuit the unknown resistor is compared to the rheostat. When the meter across the bridge reads in the middle the unknown and the rheostat are the same value.
How a rheostat is used is as a potential divider?
_____________ J| -_____/\/\/\/\_________+ | | | - + | |___i|i|___| E Well this is the circuit diagram , where r is the sliding jockey of the rheostat and a cell (E) is connected in parallel with the rheostat. By adjusting the jockey resistance of the rheostat can be altered which in turn would regulate the potential offered by the cell E to the main circuit. And thus a rheostat can be used as a potential divider.
