Answer:
r = 2.031 x 10⁶ m = 2031 km
Explanation:
In order for the asteroid to orbit the planet, the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force between asteroid and planet:
Centripetal Force = Gravitational Force
mv²/r = GmM/r²
v² = GM/r
r = GM/v²
where,
r = radial distance = ?
G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²
M = Mass of Planet = 3.52 x 10¹³ kg
v = tangential speed = 0.034 m/s
Therefore,
r = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(3.52 x 10¹³ kg)/(0.034 m/s)²
<u>r = 2.031 x 10⁶ m = 2031 km</u>
Answer:
a = -0.33 m/s² k^
Direction: negative
Explanation:
From Newton's law of motion, we know that;
F = ma
Now, from magnetic fields, we know that;. F = qVB
Thus;
ma = qVB
Where;
m is mass
a is acceleration
q is charge
V is velocity
B is magnetic field
We are given;
m = 1.81 × 10^(−3) kg
q = 1.22 × 10 ^(−8) C
V = (3.00 × 10⁴ m/s) ȷ^.
B = (1.63T) ı^ + (0.980T) ȷ^
Thus, since we are looking for acceleration, from, ma = qVB; let's make a the subject;
a = qVB/m
a = [(1.22 × 10 ^(−8)) × (3.00 × 10⁴)ȷ^ × ((1.63T) ı^ + (0.980T) ȷ^)]/(1.81 × 10^(−3))
From vector multiplication, ȷ^ × ȷ^ = 0 and ȷ^ × i^ = -k^
Thus;
a = -0.33 m/s² k^
