An astronaut stands on the surface of an asteroid. The astronaut then jumps such that the astronaut is no longer in contact with the surface. The astronaut falls back down to the surface after a short time interval. Which of the following forces CANNOT be neglected when analyzing the motion of the astronaut?

Respuesta :

Asteroids are known through the help of artificial gravity, to have small gravity. The forces that cannot be neglected when analyzing the motion of the astronaut is that the gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.

  • The gravitational force between two objects is said to be inversely proportional to the distance between them when squared. Therefore, when an individual halve the distance then the force increases by four times.

Unbalanced forces are simply known to be brought about due to a change in motion, speed, and/or direction. If two forces act in the same direction on an object, the net force is said to be equal to the sum of the two forces.
