I know this from the top of my head!

Galileo said that the Earth rotated around the sun, not the other way. The Catholic Churches thought that the sun rotated around the Earth, and they didn't like his idea and it was even worse since he made speeches about it.

Weight doesn't really mean much as it just means gravity the bigger a space object is the more force it has to pull on something since the moon is smaller than the earth then it has less gravity and then less weight on scales.

A circle has an initial radius of 50ft when the radius begins decreasing at a rate of 2ft/s. what is the rate of change of the a

valkas [14]

The area of the circle with radius r is
A = πr²

The rate of change of area with respect to time is
$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dA}{dr} . \frac{dr}{dt} =2 \pi r. \frac{dr}{dt}$

The rate of change of the radius is given as
$\frac{dr}{dt} =-2 \, \frac{ft}{s}$
Therefore
$\frac{dA}{dt} =-4 \pi r \, \frac{ft^{2}}{s}$

When r = 10 ft, obtain
$\frac{dA}{dt}|_{r=10 \, ft} = -40 \pi \, \frac{ft^{2}}{s}$

Answer: - 40π ft²/s (or - 127.5 ft²/s)

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Gravitational field strength is the force experienced by a unit mass. Gravitational force is the amount of force acting on a body. It is the product of field strength times the mass under consideration. Gravitational pull is just a more colloquial name for gravitational force.
