Answer:

8m

Explanation:

The magnitude m of a vector (x, y) is given by

m = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}      -------------------------(i)

where;

x and y are the x- and y- components of the vector.

From the question;

m = 10m

x = 6m

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

10 = \sqrt{6^2 + y^2}

Solve for y;

<em>Find the square of both sides</em>

10² = 6² + y²

100 = 36 + y²

y² = 100 - 36

y² = 64

y = √64

y = 8

Therefore, the y-component of the position vector is 8m

2) acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time —> V-U/T
Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time so it can be represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt.

Note that the simulation allows you to also display the force of the smaller moon
Lelu [443]

the force that the planet exerts on the moon is equal to the force that the moon exerts on the planet

Explanation:

In this problem we are analzying the gravitational force acting between a planet and its moon.

The magnitude of the gravitational attraction between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where :

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we are considering a planet and its moon. According to Newton's third law of motion,

"When an object A exerts a force (action force) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A"

If we apply this law to this situation, this means that the force that the planet exerts on the moon is equal to the force that the moon exerts on the planet.
