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.

If a 10-volt battery is placed across a 2-ohm resistance (R = 20), a current of
attashe74 [19]

Answer: current I = 0.5 A

Explanation:

Given that the

Potential difference V = 10V

Resistance R = 20 ohms

According to ohms law

V = IR

Where

V = potential difference

I = current

R = resistance

Make I the subject of formula

I = V/R

I = 10/20

I = 0.5 Ampere

Elabora una tabla, como la del ejemplo, con los resultados obtenidos en los test que desarrollaste en actividades anteriores. Lu
rodikova [14]

Explanation:

Clear rendering reads;

"Make a table, like the one in the example, with the results obtained in the tests you carried out in previous activities. Then answer: What do these results indicate regarding your physical condition and how do they relate to your health? From your answers, consider the challenge of improving your physical condition by maintaining or improving your exercise routine or permanent practice of physical activity".

So the incomplete text above it seems you've been instructed to perform an experiment and then state your result/analysis.

Write down the principal of lever​
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

A lever is a simple machine that changes the magnitude and direction of the force applied to move an object. Minimizes the force needed to lift the object.

By means of the following image, we can see the principle of operation of a lever.

The load can be moved thanks to the force multiplied by the distance to the fulcrum.
