The asteroid Toro has a radius of about 5.0 km. Consult Appendix F as necessary. (a) Assuming
Question:
(a) Assuming that the density of Toro is the same as that of the earth (5.5 g/cm3), find its total mass and find the acceleration due to gravity at its surface.
(b) Suppose an object is to be placed in a circular orbit around Toro, with a radius just slightly larger than the asteroids radius. What is the speed of the object? Could you launch yourself into orbit around Toro by running?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
