Answer: the moon is closer.

Explanation:

The moon is closer to the earth than the sun, which results in a larger gravitational gradient for the moon even though the sun is considerably more massive and has stronger overall gravity than the moon.

Answer

A thin atmosphere does not supply much oxygen, and the heat from the sun would evaporate it, because mercury is close to the sun.

A 2.0 kg block is pulled across a horizontal surface by a 15 N force at a constant velocity. What is the force of friction actin
lianna [129]

Answer:

<em>The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N and acts opposite to the applied force.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an unbalanced net force is applied to it.

The acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

If the object has zero net force, it won't get accelerated and its velocity will remain constant.

The m=2 kg block is being pulled across a horizontal surface by a force of F=15 N and we are told the block moves at a constant velocity. This means the acceleration is zero and therefore the net force is also zero.

Since there is an external force applied to the box, it must have been balanced by the force of friction, thus the force of friction has the same magnitude acting opposite to the applied force.

The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N opposite to the applied force.

How does the heat transfer (a change in temperature) that occurs through ocean currents affect the land?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface. Without currents in the ocean, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth's land would be habitable.
