11.3 Electromagnetic spectrum (ESADK)
EM radiation is classified into types according to the frequency of the wave: these types include, in order of increasing frequency, radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

Answer:
<em>2.753*10^-11N</em>
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force between the masses is expressed as;
F = GMm/d²
M and m are the distances
d is the distance between the masses
Given
M = 3.71 x 10 kg
m = 1.88 x 10^4 kg
d = 1300m
G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm²/kg
Substitute into the formula
F = 6.67 x 10-11* (3.71 x 10)*(1.88 x 10^4)/1300²
F = 46.52*10^(-6)/1.69 * 10^6
F = 27.53 * 10^{-6-6}
F = 27.53*10^{-12}
F = 2.753*10^-11
<em>Hence the gravitational force between the asteroid is 2.753*10^-11N</em>

Fortunately, 'force' is a vector. So if you know the strength and direction
of each force, you can easily addum up and find the 'resultant' (net) force.
When we talk in vectors, one newton forward is the negative of
one newton backward. Hold that thought, while I slog through
the complete solution of the problem.
(100 N forward) plus (50 N backward)
= (100 N forward) minus (50 N forward)
= 50 N forward .
That's it.
Is there any part of the solution that's not clear ?
