arth revolves around the Sun rather than the Sun revolving around Earth. Which statement BEST explains the orbit of the Earth around the Sun?
A) The Sun is at the center of the Solar System.
B) The Sun’s mass is much greater than Earth’s.

Answer:

b

Explanation:

The Sun exert a gravitational pull on the earth just as the earth exert gravitational pull on the sun but the sun mass is bigger than the earth, hence the earth orbits round the sun in elliptical orbit due to the greater gravitational pull of the sun.

B, C, and D.

Solar energy is green energy, it wouldn't contribute to global warming. However some places of the world don't receive as much sunlight (the poles) and at night you don't receive as much sunlight either. Solar energy is also very expensive to farm.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

a)  Em = 332.8 J , b) # jump = 13, c)   It is reasonable since there are not too many jumps , d) lower the calories consumed

Explanation:

a) Let's use energy conservation

Initial. On the floor

             Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

Final. The highest point

             Emf = U = m g h

Energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Emf

             ½ m v² = m g h

             h = ½ v² / g

            h = ½ 3.2² /9.8

            h = 0.52 m

b) When he was at home he maintained his weight with 2500 cal / day. In his parents' house he consumes 3500 cal / day, the excess of calories is

            Q = 3500 -2500 = 1000cal / day

Let's reduce this value to the SI system

             Q = 1000 cal (4,184 J / 1 cal) = 4186 J / day

Now the energy in each jump is

               Em = K = ½ m v²

               Em = ½ 65 3.2²

               Em = 332.8 J

They indicate that the body can only use 25% of this energy

              Em effec = 0.25 332.8 J

              Em effec = 83.2 J

This is the energy that burns the body

Let's use a Proportion Rule (rule of three), if a jump spends 83.2J how much jump it needs to spend 1046 J

              # jump = 1046 J (1 jump / 83.2 J)

              # jump = 12.6 jumps / day

              # jump = 13  

c) It is reasonable since there are not too many jumps

d) That some days consume more vegetables to lower the calories consumed
