- Gravitational force depends only on mass and distance, not on the state of matter.
- The forces of attraction between molecules in matter are electromagnetic in nature, not gravitational.
- These attractive forces are stronger in a solid than in a liquid than in a gas.
- Gravitational forces between molecules is completely negligible compared to the em forces.
So, key answer is inter-molecular forces of solids is stronger than liquids.
1. 0.16 N
The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

where
G is the gravitational constant
is the mass of the asteroid
m = 100 kg is the mass of the man
r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid
Substituting, we find

2. 1.7 m/s
In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.
Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

Answer:
y = 43.55 + 2.15t
Explanation:
We were told that in 1983, the per capita consumption was 37.1 pounds, and in 1989 it was 50 pounds.
If we assume t = 0 corresponds to year 1980. Then, for 1983 it will be t = 3 and for 1989,it will be t = 9.
Thus, expressing the information as ordered pairs, we have; (3,37. 1) and (9,50).
Let us now find slope of the linear function:
m1 = (y2 - y1)/(t2 - t1)
m1 = (50 - 37.1)/(9 - 3)
m1 = 2.15
So, we can find the linear equation as;
y - 37.1 = 2.15(t - 3)
y = 37.1 + 2.15t - 6.45
y = 43.55 + 2.15t
Energy of a random atomic and molecular is called molecules energy
Newton's second law states that F=ma so that means force =mass×acceleration force and mass
