Answer:
Approximately
upwards (assuming that
.)
Explanation:
External forces on this astronaut:
- Weight (gravitational attraction) from the earth (downwards,) and
- Normal force from the floor (upwards.)
Let
denote the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut from the floor. Since the direction of the normal force is opposite to the direction of the gravitational attraction, the magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be:
.
Let
denote the mass of this astronaut. The magnitude of the gravitational attraction on this astronaut would be
.
Let
denote the acceleration of this astronaut. The magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be
.
Rearrange
to obtain an expression for the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut:
.
As per Kepler's third law we know that

now here we know that
= year of Neptune
= year of Earth
= distance of Neptune from Sun
= Distance of Earth from Sun
so now we will have



so length of year of Neptune is 164.3 years
False noth all steroids are legal
Mass= density x volume
1.3 kg/m^3 x ( 2.5x4x10) m^3
= 130 kg
