They measured the wavelength of light emitted by stars using spectrometers and found it was being redshifted.
This implied the stars were moving away aka the space between the scientists and the star was expanding
By the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force <em>F</em> between the satellite (mass <em>m</em>) and planet (mass <em>M</em>) is
<em>F</em> = <em>G</em> <em>M</em> <em>m</em> / <em>R </em>²
where
<em>• G</em> = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg•s²) is the universal gravitation constant
• <em>R</em> = 2500 km + 5000 km = 7500 km is the distance between the satellite and the center of the planet
Solve for <em>M</em> :
<em>M</em> = <em>F R</em> ² / (<em>G</em> <em>m</em>)
<em>M</em> = ((3 × 10⁴ N) (75 × 10⁵ m)²) / (<em>G</em> (6 × 10³ kg))
<em>M</em> ≈ 2.8 × 10¹⁴ kg
The average power is 10 watts. What's the question ?
Answer: Around 364 to 480
Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids.
As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.
