When a dolphin jumps, it moves its muscles and chemical potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Some of this energy is

lost to the dolphin. Explain why this phenomenon does not violate the Law of Conservation of Energy.
The dolphin is a closed system, so energy is allowed to exit the system.
The energy is transferred to waves in the surrounding water.
The muscles recapture the energy when they relax after contractions.
The Law of Conservation of Energy does not apply to biological systems.

I would say the answer is either A or B, the Law of Consevation of Energy states that,"<span>the total energy of an isolated system remains constant</span>" so this energy isn't destroyed, it's simply useless. When we use energy to run, our energy is released as heat, so I would assume that it is the same for other creatures. Let me know if this helps.

How many atoms are in a 70 kg human?
topjm [15]

Answer:

7 followed by 27 zeros

Explanation:

The body of an adult man weighing 70 kg is made up of approximately 6.7 • 10 ^ 27 atoms.

The body of an adult male contains approximately 57% water, but if we look by weight, hydrogen is only 11%, while if we look at the mutual ratio of atoms in water, there are a total of 67% hydrogen atoms.

In this way, most of the weight (mass) of the human body comes from oxygen, but most of the atoms in the body are hydrogen.
