Question

A satellite in orbit around the earth is at an altitude of 41.5 percent of the earth's radius. Rounding off our old friend "g" to ten meters per second squared, what is the acceleration due to earth's gravity at the satellite?

Your answer should be in meters per second squared, but do not put the unit, just the number.

One type of engine used in space travel is an ion thruster. These engines produce a low force that results in small acceleration changes. If an ion-thrust engine is used to apply 87 millinewtons [mN] of force on a satellite with a mass of 1.7 megagrams [Mg], what is the acceleration produced in units of meters per second squared [m/s2]?

Europa orbits Jupiter at a distance of 6.7 x 108 m from Jupiter's cloudtops (the surface of the planet). If Jupiter's mass is 1.9 x 1027 kg and radius is 6.8 x 107 m, what is the speed of Europa as it orbits in m/s? Round to the nearest hundredth. Don't worry about putting units, just put the number.
Pollen grains are very light. In one experiment to determine their mass, researchers dropped grains inside a clear glass cylinder and then watched their motion with a microscope. A 40-μm-diameter pollen grain was observed to fall at a rate of 5.3 cm/s. What is the mass in nanograms of this grain?
The density of the Earth can be expressed by the equation density = C{1.22 -(r/R)}, where R is the radius of the Earth and C is a constant. Find the expression for C in terms of total mass (M) and the radius (R)..
The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Canada is reported to have the largest tides in the world with high tide and low tide occurring two times per day. The tides can measure over approximately 50.0 ft in height. At the Hopewell rocks at Hopewell cape, on a specific day height increase was recorded as a rate of 6.08 feet per hour. What is the rate in meters per second? Use Dimensional analysis to find answer.

If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either direction due to measurement error and actual variations in height. You are slightly shorter in the evening, after gravity has compressed and reshaped your spine over the course of a day. One measurement of a man's height is 6 feet and 1 inch. Express his height in meters, using the appropriate number of significant figures.
