The velocity as a function of time for an asteroid in the asteroid belt is given by t/to î vot v(t) = voe where vo and to are constants. Use t; = 0 as the initial time, and tf =0.1to as the final time. Hint: Doing your work algebraically first (as you always should) you will find that being given the final time this way will cut down a lot of number crunching in your calculator! The values for the constants that you will use are: vo = 24.5 m/s to = 135 s
Gravitational force
In nature, every object is attracted by every other object. This phenomenon is called gravity. The force associated with gravity is called gravitational force. The gravitational force is the weakest force that exists in nature. The gravitational force is always attractive.
Acceleration Due to Gravity
In fundamental physics, gravity or gravitational force is the universal attractive force acting between all the matters that exist or exhibit. It is the weakest known force. Therefore no internal changes in an object occurs due to this force. On the other hand, it has control over the trajectories of bodies in the solar system and in the universe due to its vast scope and universal action. The free fall of objects on Earth and the motions of celestial bodies, according to Newton, are both determined by the same force. It was Newton who put forward that the moon is held by a strong attractive force exerted by the Earth which makes it revolve in a straight line. He was sure that this force is similar to the downward force which Earth exerts on all the objects on it.
