A housekeeper is cleaning the kitchen and decides to to use a ladder to reach a top shelf. As he/she is cleaning he/she is start

ed by a mouse and falls off the ladder to the floor. As the he/she is falling, what is true about the magnitude of the Earth's gravitational force exerted on the housekeeper compared to the magnitude of gravitational force that the housekeeper exerts on the Earth?

The amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same.

The magnitude of the Earth's gravitational force exerted on the housekeeper is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = mg

where;

<em>m </em><em>is the mass of the housekeeper</em>

<em>g </em><em>is acceleration due to gravity</em>

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite.

The force exerted on the housekeeper by the Earth is equal in magnitude to the force exerted on the Earth by the housekeeper.

F_{H} = - F_{E}

The two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Thus, the correct option is " the amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same"

<em>The</em><em> missing part</em><em> of the </em><em>question </em><em>is below:</em>

a. the Earth exerts the largest amount of gravitational force

b. the housekeeper exerts the largest amount of gravitational force

c. the amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same

Answer:

  The acceleration would double

Explanation:

Assuming the same box and spring, the maximum acceleration is proportional to amplitude. When the amplitude doubles, the acceleration would double.

__

A spring is generally considered to have a linear force vs. distance characteristic. Hence, doubling the distance doubles the force. The acceleration is proportional to the force.

Asteroids are between 1000 km and less than 10 m in diameter. What is the diameter of most asteroids?
e-lub [12.9K]

This question needs research to be answered. From the given information alone it can't be answered without making wild assumptions.

Ideally, you need to take a look at a distribution (or a histogram) of asteroid diameters, identify the "mode" of such a distribution, and find the corresponding diameter. That value will be the answer.

I am attaching one such histogram on asteroid diameters from the IRAS asteroid catalog I could find online. (In order to get a single histogram, you need to add the individual curves in the figure first). Eyeballing this sample, I'd say the mode is somewhere around 10km, so the answer would be: the diameter of most asteroid from the IRAS asteroid catalog is about 10km.
