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.

The correct option is this: THE ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED TO WAVES IN THE SURROUNDING WATER.
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroy. This law is valid in all systems including biological systems. When a dolphin jumps, some of the potential energy that are converted to kinetic energy is lost to the fish, but this lost energy is gained by the waves in the surrounding water. So, in the real sense, the energy is not lost but converted to another form.

Which of the choices below is studied under the discipline of historical geology but not physical geology?a. physical aspects of
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Historical geology usually refers to the study of the changes and the variation that occurs at or below the surface of the earth. In simple words, it mainly involves the study of past events. This includes the variation and evolution of different life forms that existed on earth over a time of about 3.8 billion years until the present. It basically comprises the important part of geology namely Paleoclimatology, Paleontology and Paleoseismology. This historical geology is also known as Paleogeology.

Thus, historical geology involves the biological changes that occur over a definite time.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Find the value of 11° 350 yd x.yd​
sweet [91]

Answer:

x = 101.1 yd

Explanation:

We are to find the value of x

Angle opposite to x = 11° (alternate angles are congruent)

Reference angle = 11°

Opposite = x

Hypotenuse = 530 yd

Apply trigonometric function, SOH, to find x.

Sin 11 = Opp/Hyp

Sin 11 = x/530

530 × Sin 11 = x

101.128767 = x

x = 101.1 yd (nearest tenth)

Compression causes Folds called anticlines and synclines. How do these features resemble each other? How do they differ from one
Furkat [3]

The anticlines represents ridges or folds of stratified rocks, with the strata being sloping downwards from the crest.

The synclines represent through or folds of stratified rocks, with the strata being sloping upwards from the axis.

Both of these features are formed in the same manner, by compression. They are also part of a same geological occurrence. Both of them are curved, and seen from side perspective, they are representing one whole, and they look like a wave.

The difference is mainly that the anticlines are always above and they slope downwards, while the synclines are always on the bottom and slope upwards.
