Suppose the Sun were replaced by a Star with twice as much mass. Could Earth' s stay the same Why or Why not?
Earth would not be the same is the sun were replaced with a star with twice as much mass. There would be climate changes, changes in daytime and night time, which would offset almost everything.
Does the space station cross the sky in the same manner as other satellites?
Yes, the orbital effects of the earth`s gravity will affect the ISS the same way as it affects other satellites.
What DOES NOT cause the earth 's seasons?
earth distance from the sun
What happens to weight as an object moves away from earth?
The mass of an object stays the same no matter where it is, as it still has the same amount of matter in it (the definition of mass is the amount of matter in an object). However, the weight of an object changes based on the gravitational pull of the celestial body it is on. The equation W = m * g where W is the weight, m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the celestial body (which changes from body to body) shows that an object's weight would change with the planet's gravitational acceleration. For example, the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth, and the gravitational acceleration on Jupiter is about 25m/s^2. So let's work out the equations with a 100 kg mass. Earth: W=mg W=100kg*9.8m/s^2 W=98 kg/m/s^2 or 98 newtons Jupiter: W=mg W=100kg*25m/s^2 W=250 kg/m/s^2 or 250 newtons So, (250/98 = ~2.5) things weigh about 2.5 times more on Jupiter, but have the same mass.
What is the centripetal acceleration of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun?
.005946 m/s/s
What affects weight?
Weight is affected by gravity. Gravity pulls you down causing you to have weight on Earth. Depending on gravity your weight changes. On earth gravity is 9.8 m/s squared.
What chemical and physical changes?
Chemical changes change to a substance`s chemical formula but a Physical change only affects attributes like color shape or size
Which type of map shows changes in elevation at Earth s surface?
A topographic map
What is the primary way that HIV s affects the body?
it affects the immune system.
Suppose the Sun were replaced by a Star with twice as much mass. Could Earth' s stay the same Why or Why not?
Earth would not be the same is the sun were replaced with a star with twice as much mass. There would be climate changes, changes in daytime and night time, which would offset almost everything.
Does the tilt of the earth cause the change in season?
According to scientists, the earthâ??s rotation and tilting on its axis attributes to the changes in seasons throughout the world.
Why do scientists think there are s few redwood species alive today?
Scientists believe that changes in the Earth's climate cause extinction of trees;P
Does the space station cross the sky in the same manner as other satellites?
Yes, the orbital effects of the earth`s gravity will affect the ISS the same way as it affects other satellites.
How the placement of the sun's light on the earth causes seasons?
we get seasons because the earth is tilted on it s axis in relation to the sun thus as it goes around the sun the angle at which the light strikes the earth changes and the greater the angle the less heat is absorbed by the earth causing the seasons
How is Antarctica being used by humans?
The earth south of 60 degrees S, is preserved under the Antarctic Treaty, for peaceful pursuit of science. The continent of Antarctica is the primary location for scientific study of the health of planet earth, which affects all humans.
What information about the earth can rocks provide?
Rocks can provide a timeline that is reflective of our earthâ??s history. Organic material and fossils in the rock can be markers of events and changes.
