Answer:

Yes, it can.

Explanation:

Australia can be and it is both east and west of South America in practice. A confusion usually occurs because of the imaginary lines set for the human needs and the way the maps are made, so people may think that every continent can be only on side of the other continent. The Earth is rounded though, and naturally there isn't any lines for separation of the sides. So if we take the location of South America and Australia, we can see that Australia is both east and west from South America, as South America is to Australia as well. Australia is located west of South America's west coast, across the Pacific Ocean, but if we take the other side, Australia is located on the east of the eastern coast of South America, with the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, and the Indian Ocean being between them.

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

In order to be able to answer this question effectively and efficiently we have to consider the Newton's law of Universal gravitation which is given by the mathematical representation below;

Gravitational force, F = G (m1 × m2) / r^2.

Where G = Gravitational constant, m1 and m2 and the masses of body one and two respectively and r = distance.

So, we can deduce that the mass(in form of kinetic energy) increase at large distance and this makes the speed to reduce.
