Activity 2-2: Net Force and Newton's First Law Eye bolt screwed into force sensor Paper holder with coins Is it possible to have the IOLab move at a constant velocity (zero acceleration) after it is pushed and released as shown in the figure above? Prediction 2-3: Describe the direction and magnitude of the force you would need to apply so that the IOLab will continue to move with a constant velocity (zero acceleration) after it is given a brief push toward the right and released.

Briefly describe NASA’s Spaceguard Survey. How many objects have been found in this survey?
Consider Figure 13.23 in Tidal Forces. This diagram represents the tidal forces for spring tides. Sketch a similar diagram for neap tides. (Hint: For simplicity, imagine that the Sun and the Moon contribute equally. Your diagram would be the vector sum of two force fields (as in Figure 13.23), reduced by a factor of two, and superimposed at right angles.)

Respond to each statement, true or false: (a) No force of gravity acts on an astronaut in an orbiting space station. (b) At three Earth radii from the center of Earth, the acceleration of gravity is one-ninth its surface value. (c) If two identical planets, each with surface gravity g and volume V, coalesce into one planet with volume 2V, the surface gravity of the new planet is 2g. (d) One kilogram of gold would have greater value on Earth than on the Moon.
Think back to the last time you got a new phone and had to figure out how it worked. In what way did you employ the scientific method, maybe without even realizing that you did?
(a) What is the approximate force of gravity on a 70kg person due to the Andromeda galaxy, assuming its total mass is 1013 than of our Sun and acts like a single mass 2 Mly away? (b) What is the ratio of this force to the person's weight? Note that Andromeda is the closest large galaxy.
One way to recognize a distant planet is by its motion along its orbit. If Uranus circles the Sun in 84 years, how many arc seconds will it move in 24 hours? (For the purposes of this problem, ignore the motion of Earth.)
Exoplanets in eccentric orbits experience large temperature swings during their orbits. Suppose you had to plan for a mission to such a planet. Based on Kepler’s second law, does the planet spend more time closer or farther from the star? Explain.
Describe the basic features of the “lighthouse” model of a pulsar, and indicate how they combine to give rise to the observed sharply pulsed radio emission from these sources.

Research the Galileo mission. What technical problems occurred between the mission launch and the arrival of the craft in Jupiter’s system, and how did the mission engineers deal with them? (Good sources of information include Astronomy and Sky & Telescope articles, plus the mission website.)
Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?
