Answer:
parabolic path
Explanation:
As the cart reaches the end of the table with a horizontally directed velocity (only horizontal component), the cart will follow a parabolic path given by the combined action of:
(1) kinematic equation for motion under constant velocity in the horizontal direction (linear expression in terms of time), and
(2) kinematic equation for motion under constant acceleration (that of gravity) in the vertical direction (quadratic expression in terms of time)
Answer:
IS TWICE THAT OF THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE BETWEEN THE SMALLER ASTEROID AND THE SUN
Explanation:
The equation for gravitational force is:

where G is the gravitational constant.
Given that distance remains constant, and the mass of the bigger asteroid is bigger, we can get the following relation:

Here we can see that multiplying the mass by 2 gives us 2 times the gravitational force for the bigger asteroid.
Thus, the gravitational force for the bigger asteroid and the sun is two times that of the smaller asteroid and the sun.
