hen a bird lets go of a branch and drops to the ground below, why doesn’t the moving Earth sweep away from the dropping bird? The gravity of the Earth keeps the bird moving with the Earth. Friction causes the air to move along with the Earth; the bird moves through the air. The magnetic field of the Earth keeps the bird moving with the Earth. The bird is moving with the Earth and has inertia.

Answer:

The bird is moving with the Earth and has inertia.

Explanation:

Generally, everything on earth is moving at the same speed as the earth- approximately 460 m/s. Just like a bus carries a passenger, the passenger whether sitting on the bus, will be moving at the same speed as the bus. Its all about relativity by Albert Einstein. The passenger, this time the bird, and the bus being the earth are therefore moving in sync and therefore it feels as though the earth is still. However, the bird has inertia – the tendency to stay at rest or uniform motion in a straight line-  and requires some energy to change velocity.

Planes going long distances across time zones have to consider the speed of the earth’s rotation in their travel for fuel-efficiency because traveling in the same direction as the rotation of the earth can increase the length of travel (because the destination keeps moving relatively forward, per se', as the earth rotates).

What can happen to solar radiation when it enters Earths atmosphere? Check all that apply
Blizzard [7]
The answers that apply are:
1), 2) , 3), 4)

Let's look into them one by one:

1)It is absorbed by Earth.

- Earth is indeed a material that will absorb solar radiation, this is one of the reason why we have a different temperature in the morning and at night.

2)It is reflected by clouds.

- Cloud can reflect solar radiation as it is made up of water particles which can reflect the solar radiation back. This is why in a foggy day the sunlight is dimmer.

3)It is reflected by glacial ice.

-Glacial ice can reflect solar radiation. As glacial ice is smooth and light in colour,much solar radiation that was on the glacier is reflected, this is one of the reason how the North Pole and South Pole are cold all year.

4)It is condensed into visible light.

Solar radiation can light up the area depending on it's intensity, the more intense the radiation is,the brighter it will be.

5) is amplified by water molecules.

Although water molecules can keep the radiation as it has a high specific latent heat, it does not amplify the solar radiation.

Hope it helps!

Amoebas are unicellular. The single cell splits in half to form two new cells. A student claims amoebas are alive. Is the studen
Norma-Jean [14]

Based on the fact that the single cell of the Amoeba can split in half, the correct answer is The student is correct; amoebas are probably alive because they have reproductive capabilities and create offspring through reproduction.

<h3>Why is the student correct about Amoebas?</h3><h3 />

An organism is considered to be alive due to various reasons and one of them is whether the organism has reproductive capabilities and can therefore reproduce and create offspring.

Even though the Amoeba is a unicellular organism, it can still reproduce asexually which means that it can reproduce without the need for another organism of its kind like it does when it splits itself in two.
