Compression is above the equilibrium and rarefaction is below
Answer:
0.01606 Newtons
Explanation:
r = Distance between the asteroid and Sally = 17000000 m
m₁ = Mass of the asteroid = 8.7× 10²⁰ kg
m₂ = Mass of Sally = 80 kg
G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²
From Newton's Universal law of gravity

The force Sally experiences is 0.01606 Newtons
Answer:
b. They orbit around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the ecliptic plane.
Explanation:
All the objects of the solar system revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The comet coming from the Oort's cloud will also follow the same kind of orbit. That is why it can't be a property to distinguish an Oort's cloud comet.
All other properties are correct to identify an Oort's cloud comet as the Oort's cloud is a considered a spherical cloud just outside the Solar system.
