D) The speed of a wave slows as it travels at different speed in different media.
<span>Let F be the force of gravity, G be the gravitational constant, M be the mass of the earth, m your mass and r the radius of the earth, then:
F = G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2))
The above expression gives the force that you feel on the earth's surface, as it is today!
Let us now double the mass of the earth and decrease its diameter to half its original size.
This is the same as replacing M with 2M and r with r/2.
Now the gravitational force (F' ) on the new earth's surface is given by:
F' = G(2Mm / (4(pi)(r/2)^2)) = 2G(Mm / ((1/4)*4(pi)*r^2)) = 8G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2)) = 8F
So:
F' = 8F
This implies that the force that you would feel pulling you down (your weight) would increase by 800%!
You would be 8 times heavier on this "new" earth!</span>
Answer/Explanation:
The weight of an object is defined as the force that is exerted due to the gravitational force.
Mathematically, it can be written as :
W = m g
Where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Also,
We know that the value of g varies with respect to the location. At the equator, the value of g is less as compared to the poles.
The feature of an object that affects its weight are :
Mass of the object
Location of the object
How much force Earth exerts on the object
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the first choice, larger.
Rankine is Fahrenheit + 460 , while Kelvin is Celsius + 273. We all know that Fahrenheit has larger number compared to kelvin , thus rankine is much larger.
