If the distance around the equator is reduced by half, then the radius is also reduced by half.
Since the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to 1/(radius²),
the acceleration changes by a factor of 1/(1/2)² = 1/(1/4) = <em>4 </em>.
The acceleration due to gravity ... and also the weight of everything on Earth ...
becomes <em>4 times what it is now</em>.

Hope it helps for you :)))))
Answer: The velocity of the ball is 30.0 m/s
This can be calculated by using the value of acceleration as 10.0 m/s2 in free fall and the given time of 3.0 seconds. To get the
velocity, one will have to multiply the acceleration with the given time and the
quotient would result to 30.0 m/s. Mostly all object regardless of their mass,
fall to earth with the same acceleration in the absence of air resistance and as
the child drops the ball from a window, it gains speed as it falls.
Answer:
The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.
