- If you are sitting at the equator on Earth, what would your average speed be knowing that the radius of the Earth is 6.37 x 106 m? What would your acceleration on Earth be?The International Space Station orbits the Earth in a circle with a radius of approximately 6688185 m (which is only a few hundred miles above Earth's surface). At that distance, the acceleration due to gravity is only 8.87m / (s ^ 2) what is the velocity of the space station in this orbit? Your answer should be in units of m / sAn object is thrown upward with a speed of 15.2 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.8 m/s². What is the maximum height reached by the object? Answer: Check

If the speed of the first satellite S, is 1.65 x 10 m/s, what is the speed of the second satellite S,? m/sYour spaceship lands on an unknown planet. To determine the characteristics of this planet, you drop a wrench from 3.00 m above the ground and measure that it hits the ground 0.814 s later. a) What is the acceleration of gravity near the surface of this planet? b) Assuming that the planet has the same density as that of earth (5500 kg/m^3), what is the radius of the planet?
- Suppose that in the future humans can travel to different earth like planets within our galaxy. You take a trip to a new planet with a different gravitational acceleration than earth. To test this gravitational acceleration, you decide to drop a ball a distance of 2 meters. You measure how long it takes the ball to fall 2.0 meter multiple times and take an average. The average drop time is 0.52 seconds. What is the approximate magnitude of the gravitational acceleration of the planet (in units of m/s squared)?A 100.0 kg rocket is launched at 8.00 km/s directly up from the earth surface. What altitude does it reachA rock is thrown straight downward near the Earth’s surface with initial velocity of 20m/s down. Assuming it doesn’t reach the ground, after 4 seconds its speed will be about
- At what distance above the surface of the earth is the acceleration due to the earth's gravity 0.665 m/s2m/s2 if the acceleration due to gravity at the surface has magnitude 9.80 m/s2?m/s2? Express your answer in meters.A ball of mass 4.7 kg and a diameter of 68.2 cm is attached to a string of length 1.1 m. It moves in a circular path at constant speed, 3.0 m above the ground. The string makes a constant angle of 17 ° with respect to vertical. L m (a) What is the speed of the ball? (b) What is the tension in the string?Elon Musk’s SpaceX is proposing that commercial flights will be ready to go to the Moon in less than three years. Yusaku Maezawa, a Japanese billionaire, is seeking eight artists to join his trip to the Moon. He wants them to inspire everyone by creating artwork after they return to Earth. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is 16.6% of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. To keep the artists comfortable, it is decided that as they lift off from the Moon, the acceleration they experience close to the surface of the Moon should be kept to the equivalent of 2.83 g (1?is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth). What is the maximum thrust that one of the new rockets from Part 2 can withstand under this condition? Note: The weight of the artists is negligible compared to the weight of the rocket (given in part 2), so you can ignore it in your calculations!
