Gravity is an attractive force that works to pull objects together. If 2 objects are close the gravitational pull will be stronger 
Mass and distance determine gravity. The farther two things are away from each other, the weaker the gravitational forces are, the less mass an object has the less gravitational force it exerts

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of
Pavel [41]
<h2>Answer: higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </h2>

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is the set of destructive processes through which rocky materials go trhough. These processes cause changes in the color, texture, composition, firmness and shape of the material.

It should be noted that this happens when the rocks come into contact with atmospheric agents such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Another important aspect is that rocks are able to break up more easily thanks to this type of weathering, since <u>the mineral grains within the rock lose adherence and dissolve better under the action of some physical agents</u>, such as <u>humidity (rainfall included) and temperature</u>.

Therefore:

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of <u>higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </u>

Suzanne notices that when sunlight strikes the surface of a calm lake, it creates a glare. Which statement accurately describes
kumpel [21]
<span>The answer is C. This is called polarization of light by reflection. The sunlight is reflected at a parallel angle from on the surface plane of the water from which it bounces from. The glare is due to this polarization of sun beams at an angle with respect to the viewer. </span>

What do measurements of the number of neutrinos emitted by the Sun tell us about conditions deep in the solar interior?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The neutrinos are produced in the core of the sun by nuclear fusion and measuring their number helps us confirm that there are enough proton-proton chain reactions of each which produce a neutrino and going on in the Sun's core to explain the energy output of the Sun.

A box of paper is labeled 24lb paper. This means that 500 sheets (counted number) of paper size 17in x 22in weighs 24 pounds (Th
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The mass of a single paper  is approximately 0.047 lb/paper which in SI Units is approximately 21.77  g/paper

Explanation:

The given information on the size and the weight of paper are;

The mass of a box of 500 sheets of paper = 24 lb

The number of sheets in the paper = 500 sheets

The dimensions of the paper = 17 in. × 22 in., which is equivalent to  43.18 cm × 55.88 cm

The mass of a single paper = The mass of the box of paper/(The number of sheets of paper present in the box)

The mass of a single paper = 24 lb/500 = 0.047 lb/paper

Given that 1 lb = 453.6 g, we have;

0.047 lb/paper = 0.047 lb/paper×453.6 g/(lb) = 21.77  g/paper

The mass of a single paper  = 0.047 lb/paper = 21.77  g/paper.
