Alec says the force of gravity is stronger on a piece of paper after it’s crumpled. His classmate, Jordan, disagrees. Alec “prov

es” his point by dropping two pieces of paper, one crumpled and the other not. Sure enough, the crumpled piece falls faster. Has Alec proven his point?

No, Alec has not.
The force due to gravity is the same on all objects, regardless of shape and size. The acceleration caused by this force is 9.81 m/s². So if there are two identical pieces of paper, both will experience an equal force of gravity.
The difference in the papers' flight paths is due to the greater air resistance that the flat paper experiences. If the same experiment were to be repeated in a vacuum chamber, both of the pieces of paper would fall at the same rate

The atmosphere of Mercury and Mars are very thin. What effect does the thin atmosphere have on the temperature on the surface of
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Very hot during the day and very cold at night.

Explanation:

Due to the thin atmosphere, they have very hot climate during the day time and very cold climate at night. This happens because they contain very low amounts of greenhouse gases. These gases retain the heat at night. The atmosphere also prevents excessive light and UV rays from entering. The thin  atmosphere leads to many asteroids and comets hitting the surface of the planet. On earth, these asteroids usually, burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. These asteroid collisions cause massive fires. This in turn,  causes the temperature to increase during the day. During the night time, massive fires cannot burn due to the low temperature because of the lack of greenhouse gases.
