Answer from: nmm32

a) $\rm 9.34 \times 10^-^9\; N$ of gravitational force exerted by the elephent on the mouse.

b) Gravitational force exerted by the mouse on the elephent is,

$\rm F = - 9.34\times 10^-^9\; N$

Given :

M = 7000 kg is the mass of the elephant

m = 0.02 kg is the mass of the mouse

r = 1 m is the separation

Solution:

a) Gravitational force between two objects is given by -

$\rm F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$ ----- (1)

where,

G is the gravitational constant whose value is $6.67\times 10^-^1^1$

M, m are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

Now put thw values of G, M, n and r in equation (1) we get,

$\rm F = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^-^1^1\times 7000 \times 0.2}{1^2}$

$\rm F = 9.34 \times 10 ^-^9\;N$

$\rm 9.34 \times 10^-^9\; N$ of gravitational force exerted by the elephent on the mouse.

b) According to Newton's third law of motion -- "When an object A exerts a force (action) on object B, then object B exerts and equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A".

Therefore, gravitational force exerted by the mouse on the elephent is,

$\rm F = - 9.34\times 10^-^9\; N$

Answer from: xojade

a. $9.34\cdot 10^{-9} N$

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M,m are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

In this problem, we have:

M = 7000 kg is the mass of the elephant

m = 0.02 kg is the mass of the mouse

r = 1 m is the separation

Substituting into the equation, we find the gravitational force exerted by the elephant on the mouse:

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(7000)(0.02)}{1^2}=9.34\cdot 10^{-9} N$

b. $-9.34\cdot 10^{-9}N$

We can solve this part by keeping in mind Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (action) on object B, then object B exerts and equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A".

In our problem, we can identify the elephant as object A and the mouse as object B: this means that the gravitational force exerted by the elephant on the mouse is the action, while the gravitational force exerted by the mouse on the elephant is the reaction. The two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction: therefore, the gravitational force exerted by the mouse on the elephant is equal to

$F=-9.34\cdot 10^{-9}N$

where the negative sign simply means that the direction is opposite.

"it was found that some people who were taking the drug l-dopa to raise their levels of dopamine were developing schizophrenic-like symptoms supporting research a strength of the dopamine hypothesis is that there are many studies which have shown support for the neurochemical explanation."
