Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 17,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in

N, due to the presence of the asteroid. The mass of the asteroid is 8.7 1020 kg and the mass of Sally is 80 kg. For calculation purposes, assume the two objects to be point masses.

Answer:

0.01606 Newtons

Explanation:

r = Distance between the asteroid and Sally = 17000000 m

m₁ = Mass of the asteroid = 8.7× 10²⁰ kg

m₂ = Mass of Sally = 80 kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

From Newton's Universal law of gravity

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{8.7\times 10^{20}\times 80}{17000000^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.01606\ N

The force Sally experiences is 0.01606 Newtons

Question Part Points Submissions Used A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, in
olya-2409 [2.1K]

(a) 328.6 kg m/s

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger in the car is equal to the change in momentum of the passenger:

I=\Delta p = m\Delta v

where

m = 62.0 kg is the mass of the passenger

\Delta v is the change in velocity of the car (and the passenger), which is

\Delta v = 5.30 m/s - 0 = 5.30 m/s

So, the linear impulse experienced by the passenger is

I=(62.0 kg)(5.30 m/s)=328.6 kg m/s

(b) 404.7 N

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger is also equal to the product between the average force and the time interval:

I=F \Delta t

where in this case

I=328.6 kg m/s is the linear impulse

\Delta t = 0.812 s is the time during which the force is applied

Solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the average force experienced by the passenger:

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{328.6 kg m/s}{0.812 s}=404.7 N
