But if she could jump high enough, wouldn't the increase in radius from the center of the earth slow down her progress around the earth due to conservation of angular momentum, and wouldn't she therefore land in a different place? In other words, wouldn't the angular velocity decrease causing the earth to "leave her behind" as it spins?

I know that red and blue make purple, red and yellow make orange, and yellow and blue make green. What color combination makes brown? I had thought that it might be purple and yellow, but purple and yellow are color wheel opposites, so when they are put together, they just make a pasty gray. So, how do you make brown?

My Nan is 94 and has recently had pneumonia and a stroke that has stripped her of her swallowing reflex. Last week she seemed to be getting better and taking small quantities of food/water but this week she just leaves the food/water in her mouth. She's on DNR so she's not being fed intraveniously. How much longer is she likely to go on without food/water in her system? Sorry I know its a bit heavy!

I am about to make something that generates electricity continously that only requires a little effort from us(rotating the dynamo to start the flow) but i am not sure if this thing "really" works.

I'll be connecting the dynamo(12v dc output) to the
inverter(12v dc-220v ac) then the inverter to the
motor(220v ac) then make some mechanism to connect the motor to the dynamo(again) that, i think, will generate electricity continously but not like a "perpetual" motion cause, i know, there's heat which is an energy loss. I am thinking of this thing would be connected to some other appliances like a light bulb which is worth free other than the materials used.

Would that thing really work? Please explain... I need your answer...

Also why can the measure of 2 angles be equal but the angles are congruent? For example, the measure of angle A is equal to the measure of angle B but angle A is congruent to angle B.

Why do so many people not believe in evolution and choose to attack it? Unlike most people believe, it isn't the theory that we evolved from monkies, it is that living things adapt to their enviroment and change into new species over time. There have been numerous sites where cro-magnon and neanderthal bones and dwellings were found. evolution doesn't debunk Christianity, in fact, it is a compatible belief. the bible never said that adam and eve looked like modern humans, so why is it so hard to believe that we evolved? there have been so many changes to earth, most notably the ice ages, isn't it logical to think that people would have to adapt to it? btw, i am a devout christian and believe everything the bible says.
