A planet of mass 6 times l024 kg is at location m. A star of mass 4 times 1030 k

Question

A planet of mass 6 times l024 kg is at location m. A star of mass 4 times 1030 kg is at location m. It will be useful to draw a diagram of the situation, including the relevant vectors. What is the relative position vector pointing from the planet to the star? = m What is the distance between the planet and the star? = m What is the unit vector in the direction of r? r^ = What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the planet by the star? planet| = N What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the star by the planet? | on star| = N What is the force (vector) exerted on the planet by the star? on planet = N What is the force (vector) exerted on the star by the planet? on star = N

Explanation / Answer

a) <-6x1011, 8x1011,0)

b) 10 x 1011

c) <-.6, .8, 0>

d) F = 1.6 x 1021 N

e) same. F = 1.6 x 1021 N
