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.

Will an atom emit light if all the atoms electrons are in the ground state
Oliga [24]

No,

To emit light an electron has to jump down to a lower energy level but in an electron is unable to go any lower in ground state.

Which of think following materials is the best is the best choice for an insulating material?
RSB [31]
You are correct, the answer is C. 

Good insulators are materials that do not allow heat, electricity, light or sound pass through easily. Materials like steel and silver (which are metals) are not good insulators because they make good conductors. They easily allow heat, electricity and the like pass through them. 

Thus, the answer is letter C. Rubber.
