A spherical asteroid of average density would have a mass of 8.7×1013kg if its radius were 2.0 km.A)If you and your spacesuit ha

A) 0.189 N

The weight of the person on the asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted by the asteroid on the person, at a location on the surface of the asteroid:

$F=\frac{GMm}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

8.7×10^13 kg is the mass of the asteroid

m = 130 kg is the mass of the man

R = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the radius of the asteroid

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(130 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}0.189 N=$

B) 2.41 m/s

In order to orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (r=R), the centripetal force that keeps the astronaut in orbit must be equal to the gravitational force acting on the astronaut:

$\frac{GMm}{R^2}=\frac{mv^2}{R}$

where

v is the speed of the astronaut

Solving the formula for v, we find the minimum speed at which the astronaut should launch himself and then orbit the asteroid just above the surface:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=2.41 m/s$

Wolves are a keystone species because they are _____. at the top of the food chain are physically the largest animal in the food

enot [183]

Answer:

Wolves are a keystone species because they are so important to the ecosystem that their removal causes a catastrophic disequilibrium.

Explanation:

Wolves are the predators available in the environment but they exist in relatively less number while comparing it with another species of animals. Wolves influence their pray which are influenced by plants. Thus, They are so important to the ecosystem that their removal causes a catastrophic disequilibrium.

How much force is needed to cause a 15 kilogram bicycle to accelerate at a rate of 10

Anarel [89]

Net force = (mass) x (acceleration)... that’s Newton’s 2nd law of motion.
Net force = (15kg) x (10 m/s squared)
Net force = 150 Newtons.
