The law of universal gravitation states that both mass and distance of objects affect the gravitational force between them. Grav

itational force increases as the mass of the objects increase. Gravitational force decreases as distance between the objects increases. Why are these statements considered scientific law, and not scientific theory?

If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on. Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational force

During which time period was Earth a ball of hot liquid?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Approximately 4.5 billion years ago (The Hadean Eon) .

Explanation:

The Geologic Timescale's "Hadean" era, named for Hades (Hell, well, we weren't feeling very imaginative that day), encompasses the Earth's origins. According to the evidence we currently have, the Earth's surface at that time was mostly made up of lava lakes and molten rock.

How would that appear? The first 500 Ma of Earth's history have left very little stuff behind. You may, however, take a peek at our moon, which similarly went through a lava lake period before freezing. You'll see that it has both dark and bright landscape.

The lighter material is known as highlands and is primarily composed of anorthosite. Anorthose, a kind of plagioclase feldspar, is the main component of the igneous rock known as anorthosite. According to what we know, the Moon too had a lava lake era. Liquid rocks exposed at the surface were cooling and fractionally crystallizing throughout this lengthy period. A certain order of minerals was developing. And these minerals were dividing up according to the density of the melt; less dense minerals, like plagioclase (Anorthose is a plagioclase), floated to the surface in a sort of incandescent crystal slush slurry and formed a sort of lid there. Denser minerals, like olivines, were sinking to the bottom of the lava lake to form cumulates. As the lava lakes cooled, anorthosite piled on top in successive layers, thickening the mass of floating crystals. Large meteor impacts occasionally pierced this anorthosite crust, and part of the thicker (and darker) underlying liquid accumulated in the ensuing craters to produce those roundish dark patches (Maria), which are now filled with basalt.

After the lava lakes froze/crystallized over, such characteristics were maintained since there was no significant tectonic activity on the Moon (except for the local meteor impacts which screw things up a bit).

GuDViN [60]

This is indicative of classical conditioning as studied by Pavlov. There is an unconditioned stimuli, in this case, Kendra’s nausea wherein nausea is not often associated with alcohol. The conditioned stimuli here is the smell of liquor which does not normally associate with nausea in other humans. In this case, Kendra’s nausea is now associated with the smell of liquor; yet another possible conditioned stimuli such as the sight of bottle was not associated.<span> </span>

Which shows the most direct path that carbon can take through the carbon cycle?
olasank [31]

Answer:

Atmosphere, plant, animals, fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Carbon Is the essential elements needed for life.

Carbon cycle is the movement of carbon from the atmosphere to the Earth.

Carbon move in the carbon cycle and start from the atmosphere.

In the atmosphere, carbon react with oxygen and it is inform of carbon dioxide. Plants use the carbondioxide along with water,and uses light energy from the sun to produce carbohydrates through a process of photosynthesis.

Animals get carbon from plants after consuming plants.

During respiration, carbon atoms are released to the atmosphere.

Some human activities like burning of fossil fuels releases carbon to the atmosphere.
