Question

mer uf space (10 points total) I hree asteroids are positioned at the corners of a right-triangle, as shown below. The asteroids have the following masses: Mi -5.20 x 1020 kg M2 2.40 x 1021 kg Ms 7.20 x 1021 kg Mi r13-1.03 x1010 m M2 r23 -2.07 x 1010 m My Asteroids M2 and Ms are separated by a distance r23-2.07 x 1010 m, and asteroids Mi and Ms are separated by a distance of r1-1.03 x 1010 m, as shown above. 5.1: (10 points) Find the net gravitational force exerted on the asteroid Ms by the other two asteroids. Give both magnitude and direction, with direction expressed as an angle counter-clockwise from the +x-axis (assumed pointing to the right in the diagram)

Answer 1
