#1) (A) Issac Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is: Two bodies attracted to each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that the further apart these two attracting bodies are from each other, the less the gravitational force between them is. The force of ... Jupiter, which orbit Jupiter because they move back and forth from one side of the planet to the other. These moons are significant because they prove Kepler's third law. The square of a moon's orbital period abo...

... more closely packed, they exert more force. Atmospheric pressure is greatest at sea level and decreases outward from Earth. Air presses down on the Earth with a force of 1 kg per square centimetre at sea level. Air pressure varies at different places at the same elevation. This is caused by differences in air's density. There are more molecules of air above a point ... ...

... nearly sixty million hectares of forest were converted to farmland and a similar amount of forest was put to non-agricultural uses. This is equivalent to the mass of twelve hundred square metres of forest added to the population(Ramphal, 1992, p. 57). Quite often, areas of forest were cleared in such a way (ex.: slash and burn) that they will never grow back ... ...

... or by using aircraft or rocket systems. Second, removing CO2 from the atmosphere by transferring and storing it in standing biomass through reforestation. Ecologists have estimated that between 1 and 2 million square kilometers of newly planted trees would remove 1 GT of carbon annually. That rate of storage would continue for 40 to 60 years until the forest reached stability and total respiration ... ...
