A meteroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet. the planet has the same mass as Earth but has a

radius that is 90% of Earths (where Earths radius is approximately 6370 km).
The acceleration of the meteroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet is most nearly

A) 9 m/s^2 toward the center of the planet

B) 9 m/s^2 in the direction of the meteoroids motion

C) 10 m/s^2 toward the center of the planet

Answer:

C)  10 m/s^2 toward the center of the planet

Explanation:

g = GM/r^2

The masses of earth and this planet are the same and the radius is only diffferent by 10% so as gravitational force acceleration is 9.8m/s^2 on earth, it can be estimated to be around 10m/s^2.

Using the third law, we know acceleration is toward the larger mass from attraction, thus having it point toward the center of the planet.

A certain cloud contains 220 water droplets per cubic centimeter. If 1cubic meter = 1,000,000cubic centimeters, how many drops a
lianna [129]
Wouldn't you just have to multiply 220 by 1,000,000? That would mean there are 220,000,000 water droplets in one cubic of the cloud.
