Suppose you are in a spacecraft moving near a small asteroid. From observations

Question

Suppose you are in a spacecraft moving near a small asteroid. From observations of the asteroid, you estimate that it has a mass 13 times greater than your spaceship. Sensors show that your spacecraft is feeling a force of 2.69E+4 newtons due to the gravitational pull of the asteroid.

What force is your spacecraft exerting on the asteroid?

If the asteroid experiences an acceleration of 0.001 m/sec2 due to the gravitational pull of your spacecraft, how big an acceleration does your spacecraft experience?

Explanation / Answer

force is your spacecraft exerting on the asteroid=2.69E+4 = same as exerted by ateroid,,,,,,,,,,, spacecraft experiences = 13*0.001 m/s^2
