According to the law of universal gravitation, any two objects are attracted to each other. The strength of the gravitational fo

rce depends on the masses of the objects and their distance from each other.
Many stars have planets around them. If there were no gravity attracting a planet to its star, the planet's motion would carry it away from the star. However, when this motion is balanced by the gravitational attraction to the star, the planet orbits the star.

Two solar systems each have a planet the same distance from the star. The planets have the same mass, but Planet A orbits a more massive star than Planet B.


Which of the following statements is true about the planets?
A.
Planet B will keep orbiting its star longer than Planet A.
B.
Planet B is more attracted to its star than Planet A.
C.
Planet A orbits its star faster than Planet B.
D.
Planet A has a longer year than Planet B.

C. Planet A orbits its star faster than Planet B.

Explanation:

since Planet A is closer to the star due to its gravitational force, it will orbit its star faster than planet B

hope this helps :)

A 2 kg book is pushed from rest to a final velocity of 3 m/s. The book travels 2 m. How much force was the book pushed with
Studentka2010 [4]

Explanation:

first you have to find accelerarion, it is given that the initial velocity(u) is 3 m/s, distance travelled(s) be 2m finall it came to rest so final velocity be 0m/s

now using the 3rd law of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

0=9+2a2

a= -9/4m/s^2

now force=mass×accelration

=2kg×(-9/4)m/s^2

=4.5 N

4.5 newton force applied on the book!

✌️:)
