I’m deciding between E or D.. because for E it’s saying it’s changing ocean currents, but I’m thinking does that mean the earths precipitation or their climate. Best go with E, hope this helps
According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, as we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases and as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases both are the true statement.
<u>Explanation: </u>
Newton law of universal gravity extends gravity beyond the earth's surface. This gravity depends on the masses directly and inverse to the distance square between their centers.

Where,
F – Force, G – gravitational constant, M and m – masses in kg, r – distance in meters.
Since force is proportional to the masses of interacting objects. If the mass of any one object increases, gravity between them also gets increased. When moving to higher altitude, force decreases as the distance is inverse proportion to gravity.
it is generated by two objects pushing against each other with equal/almost equal force, therefore contracting against each other
Answer: E = 5.80*10^-13 J
Explanation:
Given
We use the law of conservation of momentum to solve this
Momentum before breakup = momentum after breakup
0 = m1v1 + m2v2
0 = 238m * -2.2*10^5 + 4m * v2
0 = -523.6m m/s + 4m * v2
v2 * 4m = 523.6m m/s
v2 = 523.6 m m/s / 4m
v2 = 130.9*10^5 m/s
v2 = 1.31*10^7 m/s
Using this speed in the energy equation, we have
E = 1/2m1v1² + 1/2m2v2²
E = 1/2 * (238 * 1.66*10^-27) * -2.2*10^5² + 1/2 * (4 * 1.66*10^-27) * 1.31*10^7²
E = [1/2 * 3.95*10^-25 * 4.84*10^10] + [1/2 * 6.64*10^-27 * 1.716*10^14]
E = (1/2 * 1.911*10^-14) + (1/2 * 1.139*10^-12)
E = 9.56*10^-15 + 5.7*10^-13
E = 5.80*10^-13 J
