Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 16,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in

N, due to the presence of the asteroid. The mass of the asteroid is 8.7 1020 kg and the mass of Sally is 77 kg. For calculation purposes, assume the two objects to be point masses.

Answer:

  0.017 N

Explanation:

The relevant relation is ...

  F = GMm/r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant, 6.67408 × 10^-11 m^3·kg^-1·s^-2, M and m are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between them.

__

Filling in the given numbers, we find the force to be ...

  F = (6.67408 × 10^-11 m^3·kg^-1·s^-2)(8.7 × 10^20 kg)(77 kg)/(1.6 × 10^7 m)^2

where m in this expression is the unit "meters".

  F = 6.67408 · 8.7 · 77/2.56 × 10^(-11 +20 -2·7) N ≈ 0.017 N

The asteroid exerts a force of about 0.017 N on Sally.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

That's about 0.000023 times the force of Earth's gravity.

Label these parts on the wave below: Amplitude, Wavelength, Crest, Trough, Rest Position
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Wavelength is the distance between from one crest to another crest or from one trough to another trough. The amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to the crest or trough. Crest is the highest point of the or a wave. Tough is the lowest point of the or a wave. Rest position is the position where it lies on the midpoint line.

Explanation:

I need a diagram to label these parts.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?
DiKsa [7]
<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>
