Humans perceive the size of the world based on all of the following factors except the number of miles around the Equator.

Option: A

Explanation:

To understand the size of the world or the proper perception about the size of the world people can follow many ways like they can notice  how long it takes to get somewhere, how quickly they can communicate with someone and the amount of time it takes to ship goods somewhere.

Equator is a great circle as it is the largest latitude of earth. Equator divides the earth into two hemisphere: northern hemisphere ans southern hemisphere. One can follow great circle route to shorten his journey.

attach the statements so i can answer : )

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
