It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.
Answer:
Aristotle
Explanation:
In ancient Greece, the popular
philosopher Aristotle declared
that all matter was made of only
four elements: fire, air, water
and earth. He also believed that
matter had just four properties:
hot, cold, dry and wet.
<h2>
Answer: Toward the center of the circle.</h2>
This situation is characteristic of the uniform circular motion , in which the movement of a body describes a circumference of a given radius with constant speed.
However, in this movement the velocity has a constant magnitude, but its direction varies continuously.
Let's say 
is the velocity vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius 
of the trajectory, therefore
the acceleration 
is directed toward the center of the circumference.
Answer:
D) 0.32
Explanation:
The computation of the thermal efficiency is given below:
Thermal efficiency is
= 710 J ÷ (710 J + 1480 J)
= 710 J ÷ 2,190 J
= 0.32
Hence, the thermal efficiency is 0.32
Therefore the last option is correct
