Answer:

size of popcorn seed may meet the scaled earth size of x = 0.07312 in.  

Explanation:

Given:-

- The diameter of actual sun, Ds = 1.3927 * 10^6 km

- The diameter of model sun ball, ds = 8 in

- The diameter of the actual earth, De = 12,742 km

Find:-

How large would be the earth model

Solution:-

- We can use the actual diameters of the earth and sun to develop the ratio of earth diameter to that of sun. The direct ratio can be used to model the diameter of earth for the scale model

                                          Sun                   Earth

                     Actual :     1392700 km     12,742 km

                      Scale :           8 in                    x

- Use direct relations and solve for x:

                               x = (8 in)*(12,742 km ) / ( 1392700 km )

                              x = 0.07312 in.

- From the given options apple, grapefruit and marble diameters are larger than 1 inch. So only the size of popcorn seed may meet the scaled earth size of x = 0.07312 in.

Gravity is a non contact force , jump from a little high place (don't do that :P) , you wont just get stuck in the air you will fall down , this is gravity you dont need any contact

Your friend says that the second law of thermodynamics can't be true because life itself is a highly ordered system that wouldn'
spayn [35]
This topic is actually quite controversial, but the answer in this case would be C. 

Just some food for thought, the 2nd law of thermodynamics entropy of the universe is always increasing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that earth's entropy has to. As long as the net change in entropy of the universe is increasing it doesn't matter if one planet is decreasing a nominal amount. Next, Earth as said is not a closed system and you could argue that the sunlight and energy from the sun is increasing the total energy within the system that is earth meaning that it is increasing in entropy. Next, if you consider increasing entropy as an increase in the number of possible permutations that the universe or parts of the universe can take, then it is completely possible that an ordered planet and life is possible, although rare. This theory explains why there are so many life forms and why entropy is actually increasing when divergent evolution occurs.
