The athenosphere and/or mantel are constantly moving. the plates lie on them. The movement s are very small so we do not feel them. thats all i can say for now.

Earth's gravitational force just got three times stronger! What happens to your weight?
kicyunya [14]

Your "weight" is the name you give to that gravitational force.
So your question actually says:

           "Your weight just got three times stronger !
             What happens to your weight ?"

Use Kepler’s third law and the orbital motion of Earth to determine the mass of the Sun. The average distance between Earth and
dexar [7]

Kepler’s
third law formula: T^2=4pi^2*r^3/(GM)

We’re trying to find M, so:

M=4pi^2*r^3/(G*T^2)

M=4pi^2*(1.496
× 10^11 m)^3/((6.674× 10^-11N*m^2/kg^2)*(365.26days)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))

Let’s work
with the units:

(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))=

=(m^3*kg^2)/(N*m^2*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/(N*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/((kg*m/s^2)*days^2)

=(kg)/(days^2/s^2)

=(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

So:

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

Now we need to convert days to seconds in order to cancel
them:

1 day=24 hours=24*60minutes=24*60*60s=86400s

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/((86400s)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(
86400^2*s^2)

M=1.48× 10^40kg/86400^2

M=1.98x10^30kg

The
closest answer is 1.99
× 10^30

(it may vary
a little with rounding – the difference is less than 1%)

Answer:

Explanation:

an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

An Astronaut lands on an Earthlike planet and drops a small lead ball with a mass from the top of her spaceship. The point of re
bearhunter [10]

First we have to find out the gravity on that planet. We use Newton second equation of motion. It is given as,

s = ut +(gt^2)/2

Distance s = 25m

Time t = 5 s

Velocity u = 0

By putting these values,

25 = 1/2.g.(5)²

g = 2

So the gravity on that planet is 2. Lets find out the weight of the astronaut.

Mass of the astronaut on earth m = 80 kg

Weight of astronaut on earth W = mg = (80)(9.8) = 784 N

Weight of astronaut on earth like planet = (80)(2) = 160 N

x = 160N

Describe the conversions between potential and kinetic energy that occur when you shoot a basketball at a basket
Aleks04 [339]
When you shoot a basketball at a basket, the energy from your hands is transferred into the basketball. When you hold the ball up in preparation to shoot, it has potential energy, meaning that it has stored energy that can turn into kinetic energy. When you shoot it, that potential energy turns into kinetic energy, causing the basketball to move.
