The correct answer is decreases

The further away you are the weaker it would be. That's why at one point you stop being in the field and ti doesn't pull you towards it anymore. Proportionally, if you move towards the Earth then it increases.

Gravitational force on aircraft at some distance from the Earth is given as

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

here we know that

m_1= mass of Earth

m_2 = mass of aircraft

r = distance between center of earth and aircraft

now as the aircraft is flying away from the surface of Earth so here the distance between them is increasing with the motion of aircraft

So as it moves away the force between them will decrease

So here we can say that

When a spacecraft travels away from Earth, the gravitational force acting on it  

<u>decreases</u>

If the child pulls with a force of 20 N for 12.0 m , and the handle of the wagon is inclined at an angle of 25 ∘ above the horiz
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 217.52 N

Explanation: The applied force is 20 N, the distance covered is 12.0 m and the angle is 25° above the horizontal.

Hence the formulae that defines work done is given by

W = Force × distance

But since the force has been inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal, the horizontal component of force is neccesary to produce the required motion to make the child do work on the wagon.

Hence

Work done = (horizontal component of force) × distance

Work done = F cos θ × distance

Work done = 20 cos 25 × 12 = 217.52 N

What does the geology of the two continents indicate about past events in Earth history?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rocks tell us a great deal about the Earth's history. Igneous rocks tell of past volcanic episodes and can also be used to age-date certain periods in the past. Sedimentary rocks often record past depositional environments (e.g deep ocean, shallow shelf, fluvial) and usually contain the most fossils from past ages.
