A. Use the relation g=- to find the acceleration due to gravity on the surface GM R²₂ of the Moon. You can use the following data: Mass of the Moon M = 7.35 × 1022 kg. Radius of the Moon R = 1.74 × 106 m. B. How does this value compare with the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81m/s² on the Earth's surface? C. The center-to-center distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.84 × 108 m. Calculate the orbital speed of the Moon as it revolves round the Earth. Then estimate the period of revolution of the Moon from the given data. Express your answer in days for this part. (Mass of the Earth M₂= 5.97 x 1024 kg.)

In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?

The spaceship enters a circular orbit with an orbital period that is equal to the planet's period for the rotation about its axis, T. a. Enter an expression for the radius of the spaceship’s orbit. b. Calculate the orbital radius in meters.
1. Gravity: a. What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on you in Sl units? Make a reasonable numerical estimate and include units. b. The SI unit of force is a newton. What is a newton in terms of the more basic units, kilograms (kg), meters (m), and seconds (sec)? What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that you exert on the Earth? Consider your answer to part a. 2. Contact Forces¹: Besides gravity, nearly all other forces we will encounter in this course are contact forces, which means that the two objects must be touching for the objects to exert forces on each other. Normal Force: When a surface is touching an object, the surface exerts a force on the object that is perpendicular to the surface and pushes into the object. This is called a "normal" force (normal means perpendicular in math). The harder the surfaces press against each other, the larger the normal force.²

2. Integrate the equations of motion for a spherical pendulum, i.e., a particle of mass m moving on the surface of a sphere of radius / in a gravitational field, with Lagrangian L = ml² -(0² + psin² 0) + mglcos 0. 2 Hint: Merely set up the integrals, do not evaluate them. You should obtain two integrals w.r.t. de: one determining t and another determining p. Express the first integral in terms of E,Ueff, m, and l. Express the second integral in terms of E,U eff, m, l, and M₂.
