Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.

Yes, that would be the case, because the gravity is pulling you towards the planet, so doubling the the distance cuts the gravitational pull between them in half.

On his fishing trip Justin takes the boat 25 km south. The fish aren’t biting so he goes 10 km west. He follows a school of fish
vodomira [7]

Distance is 50 km

Displacement is 10 km

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Distance toward south, x = 25 km

Distance towards west, y = 10 km

Distance towards north, z = 15 km

(a) Total distance, D = ?

Total distance, D = x + y + z

                       D = 25 + 10 + 15

                       D = 50km

(b) Displacement, d = ?

Displacement = final position - initial position

                      = 10 - 0 km

                      = 10km

Answer:

A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour for 4 hours time. What is the total distance traveled by the comet during this time?

✓ Distance = Speed * Time Distance = 50,000 * 4 Distance = 200,000 km. Hope this helps

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.
