<h2>The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun</h2>
Explanation:
We have gravitational force
Where G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²
M = Mass of body 1
M = Mass of body 2
r = Distance between them
Here we have
M = Mass of Sun = 1.99×10³⁰ kg
m = Mass of asteroid = 4.00×10¹⁶ kg
F = 3.14×10¹³ N
Substituting
The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun
Answer:
The distance between the two spheres is 914.41 X 10³ m
Explanation:
Given;
4 X 10¹³ electrons, and its equivalent in coulomb's is calculated as follows;
1 e = 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C
4 X 10¹³ e = 4 X 10¹³ X 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C = 6.408 X 10⁻⁶ C
V = Ed
where;
V is the electrical potential energy between two spheres, J
E is the electric field potential between the two spheres N/C
d is the distance between two charged bodies, m
where;
K is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²
d = (8.99 X 10⁹ X 6.408 X 10⁻⁶)/0.063
d = 914.41 X 10³ m
Therefore, the distance between the two spheres is 914.41 X 10³ m
