Answer:

Conservation of angular momentum

Explanation:

When the objects spread in universe after big bang, because of the tremendous force , they gained angular momentum and started to rotate. Since, then the object continue to rotate on their axis because of conservation of angular momentum. In vacuum of space there no other forces that can stop these rotation, therefore, they continue to rotate.

What causes earthquakes,tsunami, and volcanic eruptions to happen certain places and not others
Dafna11 [192]
These are all caused by tectonic plate movements. Some areas of the globe are more susceptible to these disasters because they are on or near a fault line where the Earth’s tectonic plates rub against one another, slip beside and under each other, or collide. The places near fault lines are more likely to see earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.

What is the weight of a pumpkin with a mass of 5 kg? kk
pav-90 [236]

Explanation:

actually, the question would need to give you what is the gravitational force, so let's take the average of the gravitational for me which is 10 N /kg

and the formula for finding weight is

W = mg

W = (5)(10)

W = 50 N

hope it is helpful, if not please report it so that someone else gets to try
