In 2014, a space probe approached the rocky core of the comet churyumov-gerasimenko, which is only a few km in diameter. the probe then entered the orbit around the comet at a distance of 30 km. the comet was found to have a mass of 1.0×1013kg.

what was the orbital period of the probe around the comet, in earth days?

express your answer in days.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
