Hoochie [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

g = GM/R²

as gravity decreases by the inverse of the square of the distance, increasing the distance by 4 times will reduce gravity to 1/16 that at the surface

9.8 / 16 = 0.61 m/s²

Answer:

8.89 m/s² west

Explanation:

Assume east is +x.  Given:

v₀ = 120 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 13.5 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = a (13.5 s) + 120 m/s

a = -8.89 m/s²

a = 8.89 m/s² west

How are dwarf planets different from true planets?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The only difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is the area surrounding each celestial body. A dwarf planet has not cleared the area around its orbit, while a planet has.

Explanation:

the three criteria of the IAU for a full-sized planet are: It is in orbit around the Sun. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape). It has "cleared the neighborhood" around its orbit .

Which of the following provides evidence that geologic activity occurred in the past on Earth's Moon?
Bingel [31]

Answer: d) the presence of solidified lava flows on the Moon

Explanation:

A geological activity means an occurrence of event such as volcanic eruption, earthquake, sedimentation, erosion etc. The revolution of the Moon around the Earth , the axial tilt of the Moon  or the phases of the Moon are not surface features. hence, these events cannot provide the evidence of geological activity in the past of Moon.

The surface features of moon such as Mares, Craters, mountains, Rays and rills are the proof of some geological activity on the Moon. Mares are the dark patches on the moon's surface formed of solidified lava. Due to negligible atmosphere on the moon, the meteors strike its surface and cause craters to form. Thus, the correct answer is d.
