Answer:

How Do Mass and Distance Affect the Force of Gravity Between Two Objects?  

The force of gravity between two objects is determined by the mass of each object and the distance between their centers. Objects with a greater amount of mass will exert a greater degree of gravitational pull, but as the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between them lessens.

Explanation:

An example of the significance of distance in Newton's law is how a person's weight decreases when they are further away from the center of the Earth, such as in an orbiting space station. The gravitational force, experienced as weight, is decreased, even through the person's mass and that of the Earth remain the same.

Answer:

Species distribution

Explanation:

Species dispersion patterns—or distribution patterns—refer to how the individuals in a population are distributed in space at a given time. The individual organisms that make up a population can be more or less equally spaced.

From the information given,

diameter of ornament = 8

radius = diameter/2 = 8/2

radius of curvature, r = 4

Recall,

</span> The atmosphere is heated both by the Sun and by the Earth's surface. Water radiates heat differently than land, so the air temperature over the ocean is usually different than the air temperature over land. <span>
The difference in air temperature over land compared to over water causes convection currents in the atmosphere. How would a person at the beach experience these convection currents? 
</span>They would feel that the water is cold.

NOT:
They would feel the heat of the Sun.
They would feel that the sand is hot.
<span>They would feel wind as the air moves.</span>
