Answer:

11 kg

Explanation:

Given weight in kg ∝ d² where d is the distance of the object from the center of the earth

We can write this as an equatio

w = (k/d²) where  is a constant

On the surface of the earth, d = 600, w = 80 so we get

80 = k/600² ==> k = 600² ( 80) =  600 x 600 x 80  (1)

At 1000 km altitude, the actual distance of the astronaut from the center of the earth is 1000 + 600 - 1600 km

So we get another equation w' = k/1600²

were w' is the weight of the astronaut at an altitude of 1000km

Using the value of k from (1) we get

w' = (600 x 600 x 80)/(1600 x 1600) = 11.25kg = 11 correct to the nearest kg

Rashid [163]

Some critics of corporate social responsibility see spending money on CSR as stealing from investors.

<h3 /><h3>What is Corporate Social Responsibility?</h3>

They are organizational practices to improve the perception of an organization in the market through voluntary practices of community development where they are inserted, contributing with social benefits that exceed legal requirements.

Companies usually implement corporate social responsibility programs as a way of demonstrating to society their concern for local needs, which is also a way of promoting the brand and establishing relationship marketing with end consumers.

For some critics of CSR, they believe that companies should not be promoters of social justice, but their focus should be focused only on profitability.

Therefore, critics of CSR argue that organizations use investors' resources to develop such social programs, and this resource should be invested to increase profitability.
