Answer:
Planet C
Explanation:
The figure of the problem is missing: find it in attachment.
The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the objects
In this problem, we have four planets around planet X, and the mass of each planet is proportional to its size in the figure.
As we can see from the previous equation, the magnitude of the gravitational force is proportional to the mass of the planets: therefore, the planet with largest mass will exert the largest gravitational force on planet X.
From the figure, we see that planet C has the largest size, so the largest mass: therefore, planet C exerts the greatest gravitational force on planet X.
Answer:
Explanation:
The force of kinetic friction on the block is defined as:
Where is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface and N is the normal force, which is always perpendicular to the surface that the object contacts. So, according to the free body diagram of the block, we have:
Replacing this in the first equation and solving for :
