Answer:

Newton's Third Law of Motion

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion which states that, for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

This ultimately implies that, in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

In this scenario, a ball bounced by a basketball player on the floor bounces back up at her.

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the statement above simply means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects i.e the ball and floor. The size of the force on the ball equals the size of the force on the floor. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion.

Hence, the ball bounced by the basketball player on the floor would bounce back in equal magnitude.

"My distance to the center of the earth is about 4000 miles when I am on the surface. If I go to a height of 8000 miles above th
lord [1]

Given,

Distance from the surface to the center of the earth, d=4000 miles

Distance from the center to you at a height of 8000 miles, a= 8000+4000=12000 miles

The gravitational force acting on a person at the surface is equal to his weight.

From Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force is

F=\frac{G\times M\times m}{r^2}

Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the object/person, r is the distance between the center of the earth and the object/person

At the surface, this force is equal to the weight of the person, W=mg

i.e.

F_s=\frac{G\times M\times m}{d^2}=W

On substituting the of d,

W=\frac{\text{GMm}}{4000^2}

At a height of 8000 miles from the surface, the gravitational force is equal to,

F_a=\frac{GMm}{12000^2}

On dividing the above two equations,

\frac{F_a}{W}=\frac{4000^2^{}}{12000^2}=\frac{1}{9}

Therefore,

F_a=\frac{1}{9}W

Therefore at a height of 8000 miles above the surface of the earth, the force of gravity becomes 1/9 time your weight.

Why is plate tectonics a widely accepted theory?
MariettaO [177]

Answer: The theory of Plate Tectonics is now widely accepted because there is sufficient proof to support it, and it is an important aspect of geology, oceanography, geophysics and even paleontology.

Explanation: In places where a plate faced resistance to its movement, it would fold upward and create mountains. Hope this helped! :)
