"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

If the child pulls with a force of 20 N for 12.0 m , and the handle of the wagon is inclined at an angle of 25 ∘ above the horiz
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 217.52 N

Explanation: The applied force is 20 N, the distance covered is 12.0 m and the angle is 25° above the horizontal.

Hence the formulae that defines work done is given by

W = Force × distance

But since the force has been inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal, the horizontal component of force is neccesary to produce the required motion to make the child do work on the wagon.

Hence

Work done = (horizontal component of force) × distance

Work done = F cos θ × distance

Work done = 20 cos 25 × 12 = 217.52 N

What is the avarage velocity of a car that travels 30 kilometers due west in 0.5 hours
Fed [463]
Velocity is distance over time v= \frac{d}{t}. If it wants it in km/h you're good to go otherwise if its m/s you need to convert km to m by multiplying 30 by 1000 and t in hours to seconds by multiplying 0.5 by 3600.

worty [1.4K]
Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

Answer: B. helium
