If something weighs 20 on earth how much would it weigh on Saturn?
1000,0000,00000,00000,00000,000000,00000 times as much you would weigh on planet earth
Is the ability of a solid to resist changes in shape?
Sort of. A solid can have a change in shape, but it has to be forced upon the object, whereas a liquid would have involuntary shape change.
In the geocentric model the earth at the center of the universe which motion would occur?
The earth would revolve around the sun.
Why does the Earth rotate in single direction?
Once an object, any object, such as the Earth, is set in motion to rotate in a particular direction, it will always continue to rotate in that direction. For the Earth to rotate in another direction would take an enormous, cataclysmic force that would have to be created by a gigantic object colliding with it, or at least coming very close to it.
What is an imaginary straight line around which an object such as earth rotates?
That would be the axis.
What model would you use to represent the shape of Earth's surface beneath the oceans?
graphical
What is the shape of a displacement-time graph for an object that is constantly speeding up?
If the Object is falling at a constant velocity the shape of the graph would be linear. If the object is falling at a changing velocity (Accelerating) the shape of the graph would be exponential- "J' Shape.
Which object orbits earth in both the earth centered and sun centered models?
That would be the moon. We've never thought of it that way ... the only object whose status didn't change between the geocentric and heliocentric model. Thanks for showing it to us.
How would you measure the volume of an object with a irregular shape?
Displacement
How big would a moon be compared to the Earth on the model?
The moon model would be about 1/4th the size of the modeled earth.
What makes earth round?
When the Earth was formed it was molten. The forces of gravity would make it shape itself into a sphere. This shape would be "frozen" in place as the Earth cooled and solidified.
If something weighs 20 on earth how much would it weigh on Saturn?
1000,0000,00000,00000,00000,000000,00000 times as much you would weigh on planet earth
What object in solar system is closet to earth?
That would be Earth's Moon, 'Luna'.
Is it possible for the perimeter of a figure to change?
no If the shape of the object is not fixed, it would be possible to alter the shape of the perimeter, but not the length, i.e., the distance around the object being enclosed.
What would happen if Earth is round in shape and size?
it is
What is the nearest natural object to the Earth?
That would be our "moon".
How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?
The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.
