"What force causes weight?"
--Weight is caused by gravity. The weight of an object is determined between the gravitational force of the object and the Earth.

"How is weight affected as an object moves farther away from the center of the Earth?"
--As you travel away from the Earth's surface, your mass stays the same but your weight reduces as gravitational pull decreases.

Gravity affects weight of an object

Its weight reduces as it moves away from the center as gravity is strongest near the core and reduces as you move away

Hope this helps C:

A 28 kg student stand on the surface of the Earth. What is the magnitude of the
Contact [7]

Answer:

F = 274.68[N]

Explanation:

The gravitational force is equal to the weight of a body, or this case that of a person. Weight can be calculated by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration. In this way we have the following equation:

F=m*g

where:

F = force or weight [N]

m = mass = 28 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Now replacing:

F=28*9.81\\F=274.68[N]

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o
love history [14]

Answer:

13.51 nm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we are going to use angle approximation that sin θ ≈ tan θ ≈ θ where our θ is in radians

y/L=tan θ ≈ θ

and ∆θ ≈∆y/L

Where ∆y= wavelength distance= 2.92 mm =0.00292m

L=screen distance= 2.40 m

=0.00292m/2.40m

=0.001217 rad

The grating spacing is d = (90000 lines/m)^−1

=1.11 × 10−5 m.

the small-angle

approx. Using difraction formula with m = 1 gives:

mλ = d sin θ ≈ dθ →

∆λ ≈ d∆θ = =1.11 × 10^-5 m×0.001217 rad

=0.000000001351m

= 13.51 nm

The Skeleton does a surprising number of things. What are the three main Ones? lol, it's due today at 12:59 pm I need help.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Support

Posture

Protection

Explanation:

Support – the skeleton keeps the body upright and provides a framework for muscle and tissue attachment.

Posture – the skeleton gives the correct shape to our body.

Protection – the bones of the skeleton protect the internal organs and reduce the risk of injury on impact.

The spherical annulus of cometary nuclei surrounding the solar system is called the ___.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Oort Cloud

Explanation:

  • Hundreds of millions of comet nuclei forming a spherical region that surrounds the solar system is called Oort cloud.
  • The Oort cloud revolves at tens of thousands of the distance of the earth from the sun.
  • Comets are the condensed water and dust particles that orbit around the sun with inward helix leaving behind a tail of vapours and vaporize completely as they get closer to the sun during their revolution around it.
  • They have a nebulous appearance and extremely elongated orbits.
