Answer:

b. the forces of attraction among them limit their motion.

Explanation:

In solids, the particles are tightly packed. The solid has fixed shape and volume.There is strong inter-particle force of attraction which prevents the motion of particles in solids. Thus, the particles in solids can vibrate about their fixed position. Liquids have fixed volume but not shape. Gases don't have fixed shape and volume. The particles of liquid do not spread out like gases. This is because of the inter particle attraction which prevents them from moving far away. In gases, the inter-particle distance is large and thus, particles have weak force of attraction.

Answer:

1.38*10^18 kg

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G*\frac{m_a*m_p}{r^2}$

where:

G= Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2)

ma= mass of the astronaut

mp= mass of the planet

$F=m_a.a\\(v_f )^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta y\\\\a=\frac{(v_f)^2-(v_o)^2}{2.\Delta y}\\\\a=\frac{(0)^2-(4.29m/s)^2}{2.0.64m}=14.38m/s^2\\\\F=m_a*14.38m/s^2$

so:

$m_a*14.38m/s^2=(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)*\frac{m_a.m_p}{(2.530*10^3m)^2}\\m_p=\frac{14.38m/s^2(2.530*10^3m)^2}{(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)}\\\\m_p=1.38*10^{18}kg$
