Answer:

F = G  \frac{2 m^{2} }{r^{2} }

action and reaction forces with the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction, one applied to each body.

Explanation:

The force between the asteroids is given by the law of universal gravitation

           F = G m₁ m₂ / r²

in this case they give us the mass of each asteroid

           m₁ = m

           m₂ = 2m

we substitute

           F = G m 2m / r²

           F = G 2 m² / r²

            F = G  \frac{2 m^{2} }{r^{2} }

Let's analyze this expression, this is the force that one asteroid exerts on the other, therefore there are two forces, one applied to each asteroid, as the order of the products does not affect the result, the magnitude of the force is the same on each asteroid.

These are action and reaction forces with the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction, one applied to each body.

Consequently the two asteroid experiences the same magnitude of force

13.<br>14. Why does a person feel weightlessness during freefall?​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.

How does water get to the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity
alexira [117]
Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.

A compound has a melting point of 812°C. what type of bonding is in the compound?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Ionic compound.

Explanation:

812° C is a very high melting point. Such high melting points are generally ionic compound. Ionic compounds are have very strong bond between the elements ( electrostatic bond). In order to break this bond, large amount of heat energies are needed. So, they have high melting point. Also, Ionic compound are very good conductors of electricity.
