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

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:
A. potential energy is 258720 Joule
Explanation:
A.Gravitational potential energy is: PE = m × g × h
velocity = 15.33 m/s when the car reaches the bottom of the hill.
where, m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height from the bottom of hill.
The potential energy is : m×g×h
=(2200×9.8×12)
=258720 Joule
B. at the bottom of the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so PE at top = KE at bottom
kinetic energy= (
)
where v = velocity
m= mass
therefore, v=
or, v=
or, v=15.33 m/s
