11.1 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the asteroid and the ship is given by:

$F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$M=8.7\cdot 10^{20} kg$ is the mass of the asteroid

$m=2.75\cdot 10^4 kg$ is the mass of the spaceship

$R=12,000 km=1.2\cdot 10^7 m$ is the distance between the asteroid and the spaceship

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the force

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(2.75\cdot 10^4 kg)(8.7\cdot 10^{20} kg)}{(1.2\cdot 10^7 m)^2}=11.1 N$

How do Gumamela flower reproduce? In the wild, Hibiscus species reproduce sexually when pollen from male flowers reaches female flowers for fertilization. When pods mature, they dry and crack open to release seeds, which fall to the ground and germinate to make more plants
