Each of the following diagrams shows a spaceship somewhere along the way between Earth and the Moon (not to scale); the midpoint
of the distance is marked to make it easier to see how the locations compare. Assume the spaceship has the same mass throughout the trip (that is, it is not burning any fuel). Write your ranking below each image; 1 is the strongest gravitational force and 5 is the weakest. a) Rank the five positions from 1 to 5 of the spaceship on the strength of the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the spaceship. Ofam am b) Rank the five positions from 1 to 5 of the spaceship on the strength of the gravitational force that Moon exerts on the lam c) How are do the ranings in part a) compare with part b)? Identify and explain any patterns you notice. d) In which image could the gravitational force between the Earth on the spaceship equal the gravitational force between the Moon and the spaceship (circle one)? Section Name: Law of Gravity Homework Use class notes, the textbook, and your knowledge of gravity and Newton's Laws to answer the following questions
Answer:Nicholas Steno first formulated the principles that allow scientists to determine the relative ages of rocks in the 17th century. Steno stated that sedimentary rocks are formed in continuous, horizontal layers, with younger layers on top of older layers.
