Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your weight is (roughly) proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance you are from the center of the earth. If that distance is reduced to 1/4 its previous value, then your weight will be multiplied by the factor ...

1/(1/4)² = 16

You would weigh 16 times as much.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The distribution of mass within the earth also affects your weight.

[100 POINTS] Find the values of x, y, and z.

Tom [10]

Answer:

∡x = 20°

∡y = 160°

∠z = 160°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a straight line sum to 180°

⇒ ∠z + 20° = 180°

⇒ ∠z = 180° - 20°

⇒ ∠z = 160°

The central angle measure equals the corresponding arc measure.

⇒ ∡x = 20°

⇒ ∡y = ∠z = 160°
