Answer:

The mass of the other asteroid is m_2=6.49\times 10^9\ kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one asteroid, m=5\times 10^8\ kg

The separation between two asteroids, r = 50,000 m

The force of gravity between asteroids, F=8.67\times 10^{-2}\ N

We need to find the mass of the other asteroid. The gravitational force acting between two masses is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

m_2 is the mass of other asteroid

m_2=\dfrac{Fr^2}{Gm_1}

m_2=\dfrac{8.67\times 10^{-2}\times (50000)^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5\times 10^8}

m_2=6.49\times 10^9\ kg

So, the mass of the other asteroid is m_2=6.49\times 10^9\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

What conditions would have to exist in order for a space station to support life
amid [387]

Answer:

Mechanical life support system

Explanation:

Mechanical life support system is one which allows humans to survive on places or conditions which are not natural to their survival so by the help of mechanical devices humans can survive in places like underwater or in space.

The life support system may not only provide water, air and food but it should also keep a proper check on the maintenance of body pressure, temperature, management of the waste product and the absorption or the radiations from the body itself.

Thus mechanical life support system are designed with the hep of high engineering techniques for the safety and security as these are life-critical.

A tall tube is evacuated and its stopcock is closed. The open end of the tube is immersed in a container of water (density 10^3
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

10.19 m

Explanation:

Water will rise to equalize the pressure inside and outside the tube.

The equation of pressure is given by

p=\rho gh

Where,

p = Pressure of air = 10⁵ N/m²

ρ = Density of water = 10³ kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height the water will rise

h=\frac{p}{gh}\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{10^5}{9.81\times 10^3}\\\Rightarrow h=10.19\ m

∴ The water will rise by 10.19 m.

Which of the following is a contact force?
Nutka1998 [239]
The contact force is indeed caused by "Contact". 

Air resistance is basically a type of friction, which is apparently present providing two object contact.

The rest selections are all interaction force, which is not necessarily caused by contact.
