Answer:

Mass and thus force depends on the reference frame chosen

Explanation:

This can be explained as Newton's law of gravity provides action which are instantaneous at a distance and involves the evaluation of all the quantities at present time or at the instant they occur.

If the body undergoes a change in its mass distribution there will be an immediate change in its gravitational force without any lag.

Now, if we talk about special relativity, it would be absurd to say that an information can travel faster than light. The effect is in synchronization with the cause in one reference frame where the effect occurs after the cause for some observer in some other reference frame.

In order to observe Newton's law of gravity all the observer's in different reference frames must observe the same phenomena which could only be possible if time were absolute and in special relativity, time is not absolute.

Therefore, Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with the Einstein's Special Relativity.

To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a _____ scale or _____ scale.
allsm [11]
To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.

A new restaurant is interested in determining the best time-temperature combination for roasting a five-pound cut of lamb. The t
Leto [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

(c) The two cuts that are being roasted for each time-temperature combination are an example of replication.

In the question it is given that  From 10 identical cuts of lamb, 2 are randomly selected to roast using each of the time-temperature combinations in the same oven. Here it is an act of copying the exact sahpe size of the lamb in all cuts, which is nothing but replication. Moreover, this replication can help in proper comparision.
