Title: A spaceship with a mass of 2.8 × 106 kg is traveling toward two asteroids, each Post by: ppk on Mar 26, 2012 A spaceship with a mass of 2.8 × 106 kg is traveling toward two asteroids, each with a mass of 5.0 × 1016 kg, which are 40 km apart. Its path is perpendicular to the line joining the asteroids and aimed at the midpoint of that line. What is the net gravitational force exerted by the asteroids on the spaceship when the spaceship is 30 km away from that midpoint? G = 6.67 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2.
A) 12,000 N B) 8000 N C) 16,000 N D) 6200 N E) 18,000 N Title: Re: A spaceship with a mass of 2.8 × 106 kg is traveling toward two asteroids, each Post by: duddy on Mar 28, 2012 Content hidden
