Answer;

Uniformitarianism

Explanation;

-Uniformitarianism is the principle suggesting that Earth's geologic processes acted in the same manner and with essentially the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is sufficient to account for all geologic change. For example, at an active volcano we can observe lava cooling to form layers of basalt.

James Hutton suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.

(a) $-3.48\cdot 10^{-7} J$

The gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system is given by

$U=-\frac{Gm_A m_B}{r}$ (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

$m_A = 94 kg$ is the mass of sphere A

$m_B = 100 kg$ is the mass of sphere B

r = 1.8 m is the distance between the two spheres

Substitutign data in the formula, we find

$U=-\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(94 kg)(100 kg)}{1.8 m}=-3.48\cdot 10^{-7} J$

and the sign is negative since gravity is an attractive force.

(b) $1.74\cdot 10^{-7}J$

According to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy gained by sphere B will be equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the system:

$K_f = U_i - U_f$ (2)
