Balanced rock has a mass of about 36,000 kg. if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s², (9.8 squared) what is the force that the rock is exerting on its pedestal? include labels.
hint: remember newton's second law, f=ma.

Agroup of students is studying convection currents. they fill two identical balloons with the same amount of helium. one balloon is placed in a freezer and the other in an area with warm air. after 10 minutes, the balloons are released from a height of 1 meter. which of the following do the students most likely observe? question 2 options: the balloons rise at the same rate. both balloons are the same size. the ballons both rise. the cold ballon is larger than the warm balloon. the cold balloon expands and rises. the warm balloon shrinks and sinks. the warm balloon expands and rises. the cold balloon shrinks and sinks.

The mass of the sun is 1.99×1030kg and its distance to the earth is 1.50×1011m. what is the gravitational force of the sun on the earth?

Use the library or internet to research each planet. make a chart comparing the following: approximate surface temperature relative surface gravity compared to earth atmospheric gases water in any form: solid, gas, or liquid when you have completed your chart, use the information you have collected to answer the following questions: which is the hottest planet? which is the coldest planet? which planet's temperature is closest to that of earth? (note: water boils at 100°c/212°f. water freezes at 0°c/32°f) which planet has the greatest gravitational attraction? which planet has the least gravitational attraction? which planet's gravitational pull is closest to that of earth? do any of the planets have oxygen in their atmosphere? which planet's atmosphere most resembles that of earth? do any of the planets have flowing water? which planet's water resources (solid, gas, or liquid) might be close to the amount on earth? which planet most resembles earth in terms of all of the factors: temperature, gravity, atmosphere, and water? if earth became an uninhabitable planet, which planet do you think would be the next best to live on? explain your answer.
