Answer:
1. 3) only a constant gravitation force that acts downward
2. b) Equal to the accleration at the surface of the asteroidc)
Explanation:
1.
- In absence of atmosphere, the force that will act on the steroid is the force of gravity due to asteroid.
- Gravitational force is a long range force acting always attractive in nature.
- It is a contact-less field force which does not requires a medium.
Mathematically given as:

where:
G = gravitational constant
are the mass of the two objects
radial distance between the two objects.
2.
The acceleration of the ball at the top height of the path is still under the influence of the gravity of the two masses so it will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the asteroid. Acceleration always remains constant.
When light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle above which there is no refracted ray, and it is given by:

(2)
where

is the refractive index of the second medium and

is the refractive index of the first medium.
We can find the ratio

by using Snell's law:

(1)
where

is the angle of incidence

is the angle of refraction
By using the data of the problem and re-arranging (1), we find

and if we use eq.(2) we can now find the value of the critical angle:
Answer:
Explanation:
The only thing I can figure you need here is the accleration of the sled. The equation we need to find this is Newton's Second Law that says that sum of the forces acting on an object is equal to the object's mass times its acceleration. For us, that looks like this because of the friction working against the sled:
F - f = ma but of course it's much more involved than that simple equation! We have the F value as 230 N, and we have the mass as 105, but we do not have the frictional force, f, and we need it to solve for a in the above equation. We know that
f = μ
where μ is the coefficient of friction, and
is the normal force, aka weight of the object. We will use the coefficient of friction and find the weight in order to fill in for f:
so
so the weight of the sled is
1.0 × 10³ with the correct number of sig dig there. Now to find f:
f = (.025)(1.0 × 10³) so
f = 25 to the correct number of sig fig. Now on to our "real" equation:
F - f = ma and
230 - 25 = 105a. We have to do the subtraction first, round, and then divide since the rules for addition and subtraction are different from the rules for dividing and multiplying.
230 - 25 will round to the tens place giving us 210. Then
210 = 105a. 210 has 2 sig figs in it while 105 has 3, so we will divide and round to 2 sig fig:
a = 2.0 m/sec²
25 km/hr I hope this helps;)
