You have negotiated with the Omicronians for a base on the planet Omicron Persei 7. The architects working with you to plan the base need to know the acceleration of a freely falling object at the surface of the planet in order to adequately design the structures. The Omicronians have told you that the value is gOP7=7.29 flurg/grom^2, but your architects use the units meters/second^2, and from your previous experience you know that both the Omicronians and your architects are terrible at unit conversion. Thus, it's up to you to do the unit conversion. Fortunately, you know the unit equality relationships: 5.24flurg=1meter and 1grom=0.493second. What is the value of gOP7 in the units your architects will use, in meter per second squared?

Suppose an asteroid has a tiny moon orbiting around it (which does occur). If the moon is 1.1 km wide, is 142 km from the center of the asteroid (which is 36 km in diameter), and assuming the moon has a circular orbit around the asteroid of period 36 hours, what is the mass of the asteroid? m = kg [Note: Use exponential notation for your answer with a format "9.99E12" for 9.99 x 1012.] What would the radius of the orbit of the same tiny moon be if it had an orbital period of 50.9 hours? Give your answer in km: R = km What is the density of the asteroid? Recall that density is mass per unit volume. The volume of the asteroid can be calculated based on its diameter (assume it is spherical in shape). Р kg/m³
