Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{Divided by four}}

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force (F) is

F = \dfrac{GmM}{d^{2} }

where m and M are the masses of the two objects, d is the distance between their centres, and G is the gravitational constant.

If we hold m, and M constant, we can write

F = \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}

where k = Gmm

Thus, gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

 Let d₂ = the radius of the planet

And  d₁ = the radius of the Earth. Then

d₂ = 2d₁

\dfrac{F_{2}}{F_{1}} = \dfrac{k}{d_{2}^{2}} \div \dfrac{k}{d_{1}^{2}}=\dfrac{d_{1}^{2}}{d_{2}^{2}} =\dfrac{d_{1}^{2}}{(2d_{1})^{2}} = \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\text{If the radius of the planet is doubled, its surface gravity is $\large \boxed{\textbf{divided by four}}$}

The worldwide use of cleaner energy sources could result in what?Which one is it?a rise in ocean levelsa reduction in acid rain
sammy [17]


The best answer is reduction in acid rain.

Acid rain is rainfall which has been rendered acidic by pollutants  in the atmosphere.  This kind of rain is typically harmful to  forests and lakes.

The main cause of acid rain is human activities. The burning of fossil fuels such coal in electrical generating plants and crude oil products such as gasoline and diesel in car engine  releases  sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere.

These compounds mix with water very high up in the atmosphere and form acid pollutants which  fall on the ground as acid rain.

 Use of clean energy will eliminate burning of fossil fuels and thus no acid rain will be produced.

Charra [1.4K]

South Sudan has the fastest population growth whereas Bulgaria has the least population growth. The causes and effects of the global warming are described below.

<h3>What is Global warming ?</h3>

Global warming refers to the increase in the temperature of the earth due to the production of the toxic gases such as carbon dioxide and other pollutants.

South Sudan has the fastest population growth whereas Bulgaria has the least population growth. The population increased due to the increase in the number of refugee.

Bulgaria has the least population growth because of the low birth rate.

Global warming is a result of greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in global temperatures is just one of the numerous consequences of global warming.

The 3 types of rainfall are Relief Rainfall,Convectional Rainfall and Frontal Rainfall.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

It changes soil chemistry, leeching out important minerals

Explanation:

but acidic deposition means

"causing neighboring governments to have disagreements"

The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in aquatic environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes where it can be harmful to fish and other wildlife. As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes

I'm not really sure! I believe it is 'It changes soil chemistry, leeching out important minerals' Sorry if I am incorrect!
