20. The accepted value for the mass of one electron is 9.11 X 1031 kg. D Two experimenters separately measured the mass of the electron three times each. The first experimenter obtained the following masses: 7.31 X 1029 kg, 7.29 × 1029 kg, and 7.32 X 102º kg. The other experimenter obtained 8.5 × 1031 kg, 9.6 × 1031 kg, and 9.1 X 1031 kg. Which experimenter's results were more accurate? Which were more precise?

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time, when they're not sleeping or eating, joyfully scampering about on the cage's floor. Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as 0.02450.0245 kg, 0.01470.0147 kg, 0.02390.0239 kg, and 0.01230.0123 kg. At this very instant, the x‑ and y‑components of the mice's velocities are, respectively, (0.515 m/s,−0.719 m/s), (−0.857 m/s,−0.215 m/s), (0.395 m/s,0.963 m/s), and (−0.743 m/s,0.759 m/s). Calculate the x‑ and y‑components of Bryce's mice's total momentum, px and py.
Asteroid Toutatis passed near Earth in 2006 at four times the distance to our Moon. This was the closest approach we will have until 2060. If it has mass of 4.1 x 1013 kg, what force did it exert on Earth at its closest approach? Use 384400 km for the distance between the earth and the moon, and 5.972 1024 kg for the mass of the earth.

You are the pilot of a spacecraft intended for travel at very high speeds. Before leaving you measure the spacecraft to be 31.4 m long and have a mass of 5.28 x 104 kg. During your travel, you pass a planet and exchange information with an observer on the planet. You are told that your spacecraft has been measured to be 28.6 m long. a. How fast is your spacecraft travelling with respect to the planet? b. You are told there is a nearby planet that is stationary with respect to the first planet. The observer on the first planet says it will take you 25 s to reach the nearby planet. How far away does your co-pilot on the spacecraft say the nearby planet is? c. How much energy was required to accelerate your spacecraft to this speed?

Prior to landing on a planet you measure its radius to be 9 x 106 m and its rotation period to be 22.3 hours. You have previously determined that the planet orbits 2.2 x 10¹¹ m from its star with a period of 402 days (3.473 x 107 sec). Once on the surface you find that the free-fall acceleration is 12.2 m/sec². a) What is the mass of the planet? Answer: 1.5 x 1025 kg. b) What is the mass of the star? Answer: 5.2 x 1030 kg.
