A large asteroid of mass 98700 kg is at rest far away from any planets or stars. A much smaller asteroid, of mass 780 kg, is in

a circular orbit about the first at a distance of 201 meters as a result of their mutual gravitational attraction. What is the speed of the second asteroid?

Answer:

1.81 x 10^-4 m/s

Explanation:

M = 98700 kg

m = 780 kg

d = 201 m

Let the speed of second asteroid is v.

The gravitational force between the two asteroids is balanced by the centripetal force on the second asteroid.

\frac{GMm}{d^{2}}=\frac{mv^2}{d}

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{d}}

Where, G be the universal gravitational constant.

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

v=\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 98700}{201}}

v = 1.81 x 10^-4 m/s

The greatest ocean depths on the earth are found in the marianas trench near the philippines. calculate the pressure due to the
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
First, let us derive our working equation. We all know that pressure is the force exerted on an area of space. In equation, that would be: P = F/A. From Newton's Law of Second Motion, force is equal to the product of mass and gravity: F = mg. So, we can substitute F to the first equation so that it becomes, P = mg/A. Now, pressure can also be determined as the force exerted by a fluid on an area. This fluid can be measure in terms of volume. Relating volume and mass, we use the parameter of density: ρ = m/V. Simplifying further in terms of height, Volume is the product of the cross-sectional area and the height. So, V = A*h. The working equation will then be derived to be:

P = ρgh

This type of pressure is called the hydrostatic pressure, the pressure exerted by the fluid over a known height. Next, we find the literature data of the density of seawater. From studies, seawater has a density ranging from 1,020 to 1,030 kg/m³. Let's just use 1,020 kg/m³. Substituting the values and making sure that the units are consistent:

P = (1,020 kg/m³)(9.81 m/s²)(11 km)*(1,000 m/1km)
P = 110,068,200 Pa or 110.07 MPa
