Biology

Reptile [31]2 years ago
6 0

Answer: A scenario often presented to introductory physics classes is that of a "gravity tunnel" — a tube drilled from one side of the Earth to the other through the planet's center. The answer taught for nearly a half-century for how long a fall through such a hole would take was about 42 minutes and 12 seconds.

Explanation: However, solar and lunar gravity, which also perturb orbiting satellites, would eventually pull you into the tunnel wall anyway [source: Darling ]. Strike a chord: Fun fact: A straight line from any point to any other point through the planet would take the same amount of time to fall through like a tunnel through Earth's center.

What are the four biological compounds in living things?
sergejj [24]
There are more than simply 4 biological compounds in the human body. I suppose to categorise, the question is hinting towards the molecules like Carbohydrates ( Poly and mono saccharides ) Proteins ( Polypeptides Made of amino acids) and Fats. There is also water, but I'm hesitant to class that as a biological compound, as it's not organic.
