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.

40) Which one of the following statements is believed to be true of comets? A) They have highly elliptical orbits around the Sun
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The correct statement for comet is - ( a ) They have highly elliptical orbits around the sun

Explanation:

The comet is made up by the composition of dust , water , ice , rock and frozen gases like , the carbon dioxide , methane , ammonia and carbon monoxide .

Comet shows a process called outgassing , i.e. , the comet passes close to the sun , then they start to release gases , which is visible in the form of a comet's tail .

The comet and its tail glows by the sun and becomes visible when the comet passes through the solar system , because the dust partials reflects sunlight directly and the gas glows due to ionization process.

The orbital of comet is usually highly eccentric elliptical path .
