Hypothetically speaking, if an object were located at the center of the Earth, the gravitational force on that object due to the

surrounding Earth, assuming matter is uniformly distributed, would have which of the following values?
a) The force would be approximately the same value as if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
b) The force would be much greater than the value if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
c) The force would be somewhat less than the value if the object was on the surface of the Earth, but it would be greater than zero newtons.
d) The force would be zero newtons.

Answer:

D. ) The force would be zero newtons

Explanation:

Because

If you are at the center of the earth, gravity is zero because all the mass around you is pulling "up" (every direction there is up!)

So F=mg so if g is zero F is also zero

What are the top two gasses in the earth’s atmosphere ?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Nitrogen and oxygen are by far the most common; dry air is composed of about 78% nitrogen (N2) and about 21% oxygen (O2). Argon, carbon dioxide (CO2), and many other gases are also present in much lower amounts; each makes up less than 1% of the atmosphere's mixture of gases.

maria [59]

The correct answer for the statement “All the scientific theories used to explain the formation of the solar system are non-testable”. The answers outdated, imaginative and unacceptable are wrong. These theories are not proven and yet are not tested due to the complexity.

A double-slit experiment yields an interference pattern due to the path length difference from light traveling through one slit
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Therefore the correct statement is B.

Explanation:

In the interference and diffraction phenomena, the natural wave of electromagnetic radiation must be taken into account, the wave front that advances towards the slit can be considered as when it reaches it behaves like a series of wave emitters, each slightly out of phase from the previous one, following the Huygens principle that states that each point is compiled as a source of secondary waves.

The sum of all these waves results in the diffraction curve of the slit that has the shape

      I = Io sin² θ /θ²

Where the angle is a function of the wavelength and the width of the slit.

From the above, the interference phenomenon can be treated as the sum of two diffraction phenomena displaced a distance equal to the separation of the slits (d)

Therefore the correct statement is B
