An astronaut takes a set of scales to do some measurements while travelling. Before leaving earth, the astronaut stands on the scales and they read "75 kg". Determine what the readings would be in the following circumstances. (You will first need to decide what the scales physically relate to). (a) On the moon where gravity is 1.6 m/s²

On the surface of a planet, you step on a bathroom scale and observe a reading of 180 N. You then board a de-elevator that goes to the center of the planet. On the way down, you stop, weigh yourself again and observe a reading of 50 N. How far below the planet's 'sea level' have you decended in km? Assume the planet radius and mass are 2370 km and 2.8 E23 kg, respectively.
A new planet named Vulcan has been discovered. Vulcan is a rather large planet with a radius twice that of Earth and a mass three times that of Earth. An astronaut has a mass of 60.0 kg and weighs about 132 lbs. on Earth. If the astronaut is on the planet Vulcan, what is her weight? The following numerical values may be helpful in this question. G = 6.67 ∙10-11 N∙m2/ kg2 Earth’s mass = 5.98 · 1024 kilograms g = 9.80 m/sec2 1 kilometer = 1000 meters

Scientists want to place a 4 × 103 kg satellite in orbit around Mars. They plan to have the satellite orbit a distance equal to 2.4 times the radius of Mars above the surface of the planet. Here is some information that will help solve this problem: mmars = 6.4191 x 1023 kgrmars = 3.397 x 106 mG = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2 1.)What is the force of attraction between Mars and the satellite? 2.)What speed should the satellite have to be in a perfectly circular orbit? 3.)How much time does it take the satellite to complete one revolution?
In the book 2010: Odyssey Two, Chinese astronauts land on Europa, one of Jupiters Moons. Suppose one of these astronauts on Europa drops a tool 2 m above the ground. How long will it take for it to hit the ground? MEuropa = 4.7998×1022 kg, REuropa = 1.561×106
Every few months, memes circulate claiming that certain alignments of the planets with the Earth will result in a change in the gravitational force you feel. Usually these memes state that the alignment will counteract Earth's gravity slightly so you will feel less of a gravitational pull towards the Earth. Can this ever happen? Let's look at the numbers. What is the gravitational force (in N) of the Earth on you (MĚ = 5.97 × 1024 kg, R₁ = 6380 km)? Say your mass is 64 kg. (Enter the magnitude.) What is the gravitational force (in N) of Jupiter on you when it is closest to Earth (M₁ = 1.90 × 1027 kg, R₁ = 5.88 × 108 km)? (Enter the magnitude.) By what factor would the mass of Jupiter need to increase to be equal to the gravitational force you feel from the Earth? Part 1 of 5 The gravitational force between two masses is given by -GMm r² where G = 6.67 x 10-11 m³/s²/kg. FgE Part 2 of 5 We can use this expression to determine the magnitude of the gravitational force you feel while on the…

You have been assigned to a team charged with developing a plan to explore a new planetary body called Planet Z. The acceleration due to gravity of Planet Z is 3.2 meters per second squared [m/s2]. A container of unknown volume is filled with cooking oil, with a specific gravity = 0.93, on Planet Z where the liquid in the container weighs 2 pound-force [lbf]. What is the volume of cooking oil in the container in units of liters [L]?
Two forces act on a 3.40 kg object, the gravitational force and a second, constant force. The object starts from rest and in 1.20 s is displaced (5.701 - 3.30ĵ) m. Write the second force in unit vector notation. (Enter your answer in kg. m/s². Assume the gravitational force acts in the -ĵ direction.) F = 13.2 X
