Because earths gravitational force is greater than that of the moon.

Answer:

Gravitational force exists between any two bodies having mass. It is proportional to the mass of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

F=G\frac{Mm}{d^2}

Thus, with increase in distance, the gravitational force decreases.

Acorn falls to Earth because of the following two reasons:

1. Mass of Earth > Mass of Moon

2. Acorn is closer to the Earth

Thus, the gravitation force of attraction is greater towards the Earth.

how many kilograms off mercury would fill a 5litre container if the density of mercury is 13.6grams per cm3
Sidana [21]

Answer:

68kg

Explanation:

1 cm^3 is the same as 1 mL and there are 5000mL in 5L

Therefore if the density is 13.6g/mL we multiply 13.6 by 5000 to get the amount of grams required = 68000g which is 68kg

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?
postnew [5]

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.
