Answer:The asteroid's average (semimajor axis) distance from the Sun is 1AU.
Explanation: Asteroids are known as small objects which have rocky appearance that orbit the Sun as the planets do, although Asteroids are smaller than the size of planets. An Asteroid that orbit the Sun with the same orbital period like the Earth will have the same semi-major distance like the Earth will have which is One Astronomical Unit(the unit of measurement of the distance between the Sun and the Orbiting Asteroids or Planets), 1 ASTRONOMICAL UNIT =
149597871 KILOMETRES.
<em>mass (m)= 5 kg</em>
<em>height (h)= 9m </em>
<em>gravity (g)= 9.8 m/s^2</em>
It has Potential energy. (PE)
• PE = mgh
Replacing:
PE = 5 * 9.8 * 9 = 441 Joules
Answer:
a) a = 0
b) W = 29.72 N
Explanation:
a)The acceleration of an object is defined as the change of its speed with respect to a time interval, Because the briefcase remains at rest, its acceleration (a) is zero.
a=0
b) Calculation of the weight of the briefcase
The formula to calculate the weight is the following:
W= m*g Formula (1)
Where:
W : is the weight in Newtons (N)
m : is the mass in kilograms (kg)
g : is the acceleration due to gravity in meters over second square (m/s²)
Data
m=3.03 kg : mass of the briefcase
m=9.81 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity
We replace data in the formula (1)
W= m*g = 3.03 kg * 9.81 m/s²
W= 29.72 N
