Two asteroids are found at the same distance from the Sun. However, one asteroid is twice as massive the other. According to New
ton's Universal Law of Gravitation the force of gravity exerted by the Sun and the more massive asteroid is
2 answers:
Answer:
IS TWICE THAT OF THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE BETWEEN THE SMALLER ASTEROID AND THE SUN
Explanation:
The equation for gravitational force is:
where G is the gravitational constant.
Given that distance remains constant, and the mass of the bigger asteroid is bigger, we can get the following relation:
Here we can see that multiplying the mass by 2 gives us 2 times the gravitational force for the bigger asteroid.
Thus, the gravitational force for the bigger asteroid and the sun is two times that of the smaller asteroid and the sun.

Answer:
part a : <em>The dry unit weight is 0.0616 </em><em />
part b : <em>The void ratio is 0.77</em>
part c : <em>Degree of Saturation is 0.43</em>
part d : <em>Additional water (in lb) needed to achieve 100% saturation in the soil sample is 0.72 lb</em>
Explanation:
Part a
Dry Unit Weight
The dry unit weight is given as
Here
is the dry unit weight which is to be calculated
- γ is the bulk unit weight given as
- w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12%
Substituting values
<em>The dry unit weight is 0.0616 </em><em />
Part b
Void Ratio
The void ratio is given as
Here
- e is the void ratio which is to be calculated
is the water unit weight which is 62.4
or 0.04
- G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72
Substituting values
<em>The void ratio is 0.77</em>
Part c
Degree of Saturation
Degree of Saturation is given as
Here
- e is the void ratio which is calculated in part b
- G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72
- w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12% or 0.12 in fraction
Substituting values
<em>Degree of Saturation is 0.43</em>
Part d
Additional Water needed
For this firstly the zero air unit weight with 100% Saturation is calculated and the value is further manipulated accordingly. Zero air unit weight is given as
Here
is the zero air unit weight which is to be calculated
- G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72
- w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12% or 0.12 in fraction
Now as the volume is known, the the overall weight is given as
As weight of initial bulk is already given as 4 lb so additional water required is 0.72 lb.
Answer:
<em>0.228 nm</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Atomic mass number of copper = 64
but an atomic mass unit = 1.66 x 10^-27 kg
therefore, the mass of the copper atom m = 64 x 1.66 x 10^-27 kg = 1.06 x 10^-25 kg
The number of atoms in this mass n = ρ/m
where ρ is the density of copper = 8.96 x 10^3 kg/m^3
==> n = (8.96 x 10^3)/(1.06 x 10^-25) = 8.45 x 10^28 atoms/m^3
We know that the volume occupied by this amount of atoms n =
where a is the lattice constant
equating, we have
8.45 x 10^28 =
a = 4.389 x 10^9
we also know that
d = 1/a
where d is the smallest distance between the two copper atom.
d = 1/(4.389 x 10^9) = 2.28 x 10^-10 m
==> <em>0.228 nm</em>
