The land isn't actually flat. With so many hills and mountains it would be hard to tell. We are also to small to notice the land is slightly curved

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The land around us appears flat because the Earth is just so unimaginably large, and the curvature is extremely small from our point of view. In reality, the land is slightly bendy, which is why certain structures (like very long bridges) need to be constructed with the curvature in mind, with different ends at slightly different elevations. Hope this helps!

A. False. If it is high tide in one place on Earth, the place exactly opposite to it will also have a <em>high</em> tide.

The gravitational attraction of the Moon and the inertia of the oceans cause <em>two tidal bulges </em>on opposite sides of the Earth.

B. True. Cassini used flybys of Venus, Earth and Jupiter as slingshots to reach Saturn.

C. True. The whole solar system moves around the galaxy.

D. True. If a planet’s gravity is not strong enough, the molecules in its atmosphere will have enough kinetic energy to escape into space.

E. False. The <em>mass of an object is constant</em>, but its <em>weight changes</em> according to the gravity of the planet.

F. False. To find the mass of an object, <em>divide</em> its weight by gravity.

F = mg  or weight = mass × gravity

∴ <em>Mass = weight/gravity </em>

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Concave Lenses

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • A concave lens is thin in the middle and thick at the edges, such that it seems to cave inwards. It spreads light rays apart producing an image smaller than the actual object.
  • <em><u>Images formed by a concave lens are virtual, upright, reduced in size and located on the same side of the lens as the object. Diverging lenses or concave lens always produce images that share these characteristics. The location of the object does not affect the characteristics of the image. </u></em>
