The path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the sa

me mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force. What statement accurately compares these two events? A) The meteors fall at the same rate since they have the same mass. B) The meteor falls to Earth faster due to its greater gravitational force. C) The meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force. D) The meteor falls to Jupiter at a faster rate due to its thinner atmosphere.

Answer: The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

As it is given in the problem, the path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the same mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitational, every particle attracts every other particles in the universe with the gravitational force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It is also the largest planet in the solar system. The gravity of Jupiter on its surface is 2.4 times that of surface gravity of the Earth.

If a person weighs 100 pounds on the Earth then he would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), the meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force.

What is solar wind i ask that you help me
Novay_Z [31]
My answer -

the corona, the sun's outer layer, reaches temperatures of up to 2 million degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 million Celsius). At this level, the sun's gravity can't hold on to the rapidly moving particles, and it streams away from the star.

The sun's activity shifts over the course of its 11-year cycle, with sun spot numbers, radiation levels, and ejected material changing over time. These alterations affect the properties of the solar wind, including its magnetic field properties, velocity, temperature and density. The wind also differs based on where on the sun it comes from and how quickly that portion is rotating.

The velocity of the solar wind is higher over coronal holes, reaching speeds of up to 500 miles (800 kilometers) per second. The temperature and density over coronal holes are low, and the magnetic field is weak, so the field lines are open to space. These holes occur at the poles and low latitudes, and reach their largest when activity on the sun is at its minimum. Temperatures in the fast wind can reach up to 1 million degrees F (800,000 C).

At the coronal streamer belt around the equator, the solar wind travels more slowly, at around 200 miles (300 km) per second. Temperatures in the slow wind reach up to 2.9 million F (1.6 million C).

Answer: When you break on your bike and when you rub your hands together to get warm.

Explanation: Force and friction affect our daily lives in numerous amounts of ways. For instance, when a football is kicked, it moves faster later after some time its force decreases due to friction. A common example of friciton is when a bike stops. When the brakes are applied the friction on the pads cause the bike to stop. The rubbing hands is making friction. Which makes you get warm.
