Planet with 1/2 the gravitational force as the earth. the effect of  the mass and weight of the space probe is described below.

Explanation:

  • At an altitude of 2642 km (approx. 1641 miles) above the Earth's surface, the gravitational acceleration will be 4.89m/s^2, which is half of 9.78 m/s^2 (the gravity at the surface).
  • When the distance between the 2 objects is halved, the gravitational force between the 2 objects is doubled. when the distance between the 2 objects is doubled then the gravitational force doubles.
  • Yes, a space probe that weighs 1000 pounds (excluding fuel) sitting in its launch vehicle on the launch pad will weigh much more from launch until the rocket's engines shut off. At that point it will become weightless. It becomes weightless because it's in free fall, even though it is still heading away from the Earth.
  • In space without gravity pulling down on them, Astronauts are essentially weightless. It is important to explore the difference between mass and weight. ... However, if we went from Earth to Mars, our weight would change because Mars has less gravity than Earth. Gravity is a force pulling matter together.

Use Darwin's theory of Natural Selection to explain the process by which the four-legged land animal, A, may have evolved, over
Len [333]

Answer:

Due to environmental conditions.

Explanation:

With the passage of time, environmental conditions change which causes the evolution of of four legged land animals from fish like creature. This change occurs due to change in environment. In water, there is no need for legs because fish moves with the help of fins and tail but the organisms that lives on land has legs in order to move from one place to another so we can say that change in the physical structure of organism occurs due to environment.
