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

Which part of a river would have animals with very muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water? Source z
lidiya [134]
The part of a river that would have animals with muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water is in the transition zone, the mid-transition zone to be precise. Water at the source zone possesses a lot of potential energy and as it flows from the upper reaches the potential energy is turned into kinetic energy when the course of the river begins to gradually level out and this translates into increase in velocity. By the time river water reaches the middle of the transition zone, most of the potential energy would have been turned into kinetic energy and thus water velocity would be quite high here. Animals living here would develop muscles because of constantly fighting against the strong current to avoid being swept downstream.

J.J. Thomson theorized that, if an atom had all of its negatively charged
Bumek [7]

Answer:

C. Positively charged

Explanation:

The plum pudding model of the atom proposes by J. J. Thomson consisted of electrons which lay embedded as the raisins within a dough or soup that was positively charged. The electron was discovered by J. J. Thomson in 1897 through cathode ray tube experiments.

Based on the plum pudding model, if all the negatively charge electrons contained in an atom are removed, the material remaining will be the <em>positively charged</em> soup

An oil droplet is sprayed into a uniform electric field of adjustable magnitude. The 0.11 g droplet hovers
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The direction of the field is downward, and negatively charged particles will experience an upwards force due to the field.

F = N e E     where E is the value of the field and N e the charge Q

M g = N e E      and M g is the weight of the drop

N = M g / (e E)

N = 1.1E-4 * 9.8 / (1.6E-19 * 370) = 1.1 * 9.8 / (1.6 * 370) * E15 = 1.82E13

.00011 kg is a very large drop

Q = N e = M g / E = .00011 * 9.8 / 370 = 2.91E-6 Coulombs

Check:     N = Q / e = 2.91E-6 / 1.6E-19 = 1.82E13   electrons
