The data table above includes the distance each planet is from the sun. Students in an Earth science class were asked to explain

how the effect of the Sun's gravity on Neptune compares with the effect of the Sun's gravity on Earth. Four student’s explanations are presented below. Which student’s explanation is best?
Question 19 options:


Student 1: The Sun has less gravitational pull on Earth because it is closer



Student 2: The Sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is bigger



Student 3: The Sun has the same gravitational pull on all planets that are in orbit



Student 4: The Sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is farther away

Student 4

Explanation:

  • The sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is farther away. Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects towards its center.
  • Gravity keeps all the planets in its position and allows it to move in its orbit.
  • The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects.
  • So when the distance increases, the force weakens. Since Neptune approximately 4.8 billion kilometers away from the sun, its gravitational force is very less.

Organisms in an ecosystem are interdependent. Do you think humans have interdependent relationships with other organisms? Explai
faust18 [17]

Answer:Organisms rely on each other to sustain the ecological environment, something that humans have been lacking in. So, in general, organisms are interdependent because they have no choice. There are more particular instances (mutualism, symbiosis, etc.) where the connection is more local and direct.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Cyanobacteria are aquatic and photosynthetic, that is, they live in the water, and can manufacture their own food. Because they are bacteria, they are quite small and usually unicellular, though they often grow in colonies large enough to see. They have the distinction of being the oldest known fossils, more than 3.5 billion years old, in fact! It may surprise you then to know that the cyanobacteria are still around; they are one of the largest and most important groups of bacteria on earth.

A nurse is teaching clients about healthy living and obtaining adequate foods in our diets for energy. Which statement by the cl
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

"My nutritionist measures energy content of food by using a bomb calorimeter."

Explanation

Animals humans included eat food in order to get chemical energy through cellular respiration either aerobically or anaerobically.

Therefore, food energy is the amount of chemical energy that can be derived from food.

Food energy can be measured using a bomb calorimeter and the unit of measurement is calories.

So when the client made the statement and mentioned energy content in food being measured by a calorimeter, it shows the client had an understanding on how energy in food is measured.
