(c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.

3. a lunar exploration vehicle was created by a research team. it weighs 3,000 kg on the earth. it needs an acceleration of 10 m/s2 on the moon. in order to have the same acceleration, what will be the net force acting on the vehicle on the earth?

Geologists get to play with chemistry, physics, and history! and what a history you will meet as youwork your way through the course. starting at the beginning, the textbook provides the scientifically acceptedstart of the and promises that you'll get to explore some of the evidence for that scientific view, later inthe semester. meanwhile, which is more nearly correct of the scientifically accepted view? a) the earth formed when the big bang caused older materials to fall together, about 14 billion years ago.b) the earth formed from the falling together of older materials, about 4.6 billion years ago.c) the earth formed in the big bang, about 6000 years ago.d) the earth is eternal, having been here forever and promising to be here forever.e) the earth was assembled by gigantic space beavers, which gnawed down the primordial tree of life andpiled its branches together to form the planet.
