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

The place kicker on a football team kicks a ball from ground level with an initial speed of 4.00 m/s at an angle of 29.0° above
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

0.4 s

Explanation:

The time that the ball is in the air can be found with the next formula:

time = t = \frac{2v_{o}sen\beta}{g}

where v_{o} is the initial velocity of the ball, in this case:

v_{o}=4.00 m/s

β is the angle: β = 29.0°

And g is the acceleration of gravity: g=9.81m/s^2

Replacing all the values to find t, we have:

time = t = \frac{2(4m/s)sen(29)}{9.81m/s^2} = 0.4s

Thus, the ball is 0.4s in the air.

Which explains how fossils for used as evidence about the theory of continental drift
AleksandrR [38]
When the continental drift occured, it moved all the land on earth around, therefore changing climates. If fossils of animals are found on a certain continent that doesn't support that species, it proves the drift happened because the climate used to be suitable for them, but now is not.

When a submarine dives to a depth of 5.0 × 102 m, how much pressure, in pa, must its hull be able to withstand? how many times l
nordsb [41]
<span>Depth = 5.0 Ă— 10^2 m
 Density of sea water = 1.025 x 10^3
 Pd = Po + pgh
Atmospheric pressure is standard Patm = 1.01325 x 10^5 Pa
  Since the normal pressure is retained in the hull, no need to bother about Po Pd = pgh = 1.025 x 10^3 x 9.8 x 5.0 x 10^2 = 50.225 x 10^5
 So now Pd / Patm = 50.225 x 10^5 / 1.01325 x 10^5 = 49.56
 So it is 49.56 times larger.</span>

A 7.0-kilogram cart, A, and a 3.0-kilogram cart, B, are initially held together at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. W
7nadin3 [17]
For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>
