A ball is tossed straight up from the surface of a small, sphericalasteroid with no atmosphere. The aball rises to a height equa

l tothe asteroid's raidus and then falls straight down toward thesurface of the asteroid.
1. What forces act on the ball while it is on the way up?

1) only a decreasing gravitational force that acts downward.
2) only an increasing gravitational forces that acts downward
3) only a constant gravitation force that acts downward
4) both a constant gravitational force that acts downward and adecreasing force that acts upward
5) no forces act on the ball

2. the acceleration of the ball at the top of its path is1) at its max vlue for the ball's flightb) Equal to the accleration at the surface of the asteroidc) equal to .5 the acceleration at the surface of the asteroidd) equal to 1/4 the acceleration at the surface of theasteroide) zero

Answer:

1. 3) only a constant gravitation force that acts downward

2. b) Equal to the accleration at the surface of the asteroidc)

Explanation:

1.

  • In absence of atmosphere, the force that will act on the steroid is the force of gravity due to asteroid.
  • Gravitational force is a long range force acting always attractive in nature.
  • It is a contact-less field force which does not requires a medium.

Mathematically given as:

F=G.\frac{M_1.M_2}{R^2}

where:

G = gravitational constant

M_1\ \&\ M_2 are the mass of the two objects

R= radial distance between the two objects.

2.

The acceleration of the ball at the top height of the path is still under the influence of the gravity of the two masses so it will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the asteroid. Acceleration always remains constant.

-BARSIC- [3]

Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?
Bumek [7]
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.

The equation shows neutralization of an acid and a base to produce a salt and water.
Lyrx [107]
This equation will be balanced if the x is a 2 because there are two sodiums on the reactants sides so there must be two sodiums on the products side
