Answer:

r = 2.031 x 10⁶ m = 2031 km

Explanation:

In order for the asteroid to orbit the planet, the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force between asteroid and planet:

Centripetal Force = Gravitational Force

mv²/r = GmM/r²

v² = GM/r

r = GM/v²

where,

r = radial distance = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of Planet = 3.52 x 10¹³ kg

v = tangential speed = 0.034 m/s

Therefore,

r = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(3.52 x 10¹³ kg)/(0.034 m/s)²

<u>r = 2.031 x 10⁶ m = 2031 km</u>

How do prokaryotic cells replicate?
Alika [10]

Answer:

The usual method of prokaryote cell division is termed binary fission. The prokaryotic chromosome is a single DNA molecule that first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicate and original chromosomes are separated.

Why is an object's density expressed as a combination of two units
miss Akunina [59]
Well, first of all, EVERY physical quantity is measured in a combination
of 2 or more units, except for mass, length, time, and electric charge. 
ALL other units are made out of these.  So it should not surprise you.

[  Example:  Speed  =  (length) / (time)  ]

Density is not the mass of a substance.  It's the mass of a substance in
a standard volume of it.  So the density is made of the mass in any lump
and the volume of that lump.  That way, no matter how much of a substance
you have, you can always compare the lump you have to all other substances.
