(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.
Reason :
All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.
The intense heat in the earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.
Answer:
400 g
Explanation:
The computation of the number of grams in the original sample is shown below:
Given that
half-life = 5.26 years
total time of decay = 15.8 years
final amount = 50.0 g
Now based on the above information
number of half-lives past is
= 15.8 ÷ 5.26
= 3 half-lives
Now
3 half-lives = 1 ÷ 8 remains = 50.0 g
So, the number of grams would be
= 50.0 g × 8
= 400 g
The velocity is a vectorial quantity, whereas speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it depends on the direction!
As such, the velocity is changing because the direction is changing.
