Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 14,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in

N, due to the presence of the asteroid. The mass of the asteroid is 8.7 1020 kg and the mass of Sally is 67 kg. For calculation purposes, assume the two objects to be point masses.

Sam and Sally are traveling aboard a spacecraft that approaches the asteroid Ceres within 14,000 kilometers. Sally will experience 1.989 × 10⁻¹¹  N of force.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

Newton's law of gravity states that each particle having mass in the universe attracts each other particle with a force known as the gravitational force.

The gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of their distance.

Given data

Mass of asteroid ,m₁ = 8.7 1020 kg

Mass of sally,m₂ = 67 kg

Gravitational constant,G = 6.6 × 10⁻¹¹ kg⁻² m²

Distance of seperation,R =  14,000 km

\rm F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{R^ 2} \\\\ F = 6.6 \times 10^{-11 }\times \frac{8.71020  \times 67 }{(14,000)^2}  \\\\F =  1.989 \times 10^{-11 } \ N

Hence, the force Sally experiences will be 1.989 × 10⁻¹¹  N.

A roller coaster at the Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, incorporates some clever design technology a
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

5.95 m

Explanation:

Given that the biggest loop is 40.0 m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 10.8 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g

For the car to stick to the loop without falling down, at the top of the ride, the centripetal force must be equal to the weight of the car. That is,

(MV^2) / r = mg

V^2/ r = centripetal acceleration which is equal to 2g

2 × 9.8 = 10.8^2 / r

r = 116.64 /19.6

r = 5.95 m

What does -9.8 m/s mean? And what does it mean if something has a negative velocity?
a_sh-v [17]

I can't guess what -9.8 m/s means until you tell me where it came from,
or what 'm/s' means.

If perhaps it has something to do with the acceleration of gravity on Earth,
then the correct figure is ' -9.8 m/s² '.  That means that any object that
has no other force acting on it except gravity has its speed changing by
9.8 meters per second every second.  Since it's gravity doing the job,
then the object's speed is either increasing down, or decreasing up. 

If an object has negative velocity, then it's moving in the direction opposite
to the direction that you decided to call positive when you started doing the
problem.

For example, if you decide that up is positive and down is negative, and
then somebody drops a stone from the top of a tall building, then the
gravitational force on the stone is negative (pointing down), its velocity
is negative (it's falling towards down), and its acceleration is negative (its
speed towards down is getting faster and faster).  Everything is negative,
only because you decided that up is positive and down is negative.  It's
nothing to be worried about.

Convection cells in the mantle drive movements of the plates. True or False
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.
