The values of gravitational acceleration at the surfaces of Jupiter, Pluto, and the sun are 23.12 m/s, 0.72 m/s, and 273.98 m/s, respectively. Determine your weight at each of these locations in both SI and US customary units. Assume no loss of mass results from the extreme conditions.
An asteroid has a mass of m = 8.5 × 1012 kg and also has two rocket thrusters attached to it. One thruster supplies a force with x- and y- componentsF 1 = (8.0 × 107, 7.0 × 107) N while the other supplies a force with x- and y-components F 2 = (4.0 × 107, −2.0 × 107) N. (You may ignore the mass of the rocket thrusters and their fuel.)- What is the magnitude of the resultant force and in which direction does it act?
Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 4.0 104 kg (about 40 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of ‹ 0, 30, 0 › km/s. As you pass the location ‹ 6, 9, 0 › km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of ‹ 5.0 105, 0, 0 › N for 20 s. The ejected gases have a mass that is small compared to the mass of the spacecraft. You then continue coasting with the rocket engines turned off. Where are you an hour later? (Think about what approximations or simplifying assumptions you made in your analysis. Also think about the choice of system: what are the surroundings that exert external forces on your system?)f = m
(a) Find the speed at which Superman (mass=90.0 kg) must fly into a train (mass = 17485 kg) traveling at 65.0 km/hr to stop it. Running into the train at that speed would severely damage both train and passengers. (b) Calculate the minimum time Superman must take to stop the train if the passengers experience an average horizontal force of 0.410 their own weight. (c) How far does the train then travel while being slowed to a stop?
A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.20×10−5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 0.500×10−6 N on the flea.

A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.19 ✕ 10−5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 0.700 ✕ 10−6 N on the flea.

A coordinate system (in meters) is constructed on the surface of a pool table, and three objects are placed on the table as follows: a m1 = 1.7-kg object at the origin of the coordinate system, a m2 = 3.2-kg object at (0, 2.0), and a m3 = 5.0-kg object at (4.0, 0). Find the resultant gravitational force exerted by the other two objects on the object at the origin. magnitude direction ° above the +x-axis
A "doomsday" asteroid with a mass of 1.0 × 1010 kg is hurtling through space. Unless the asteroid's speed is changed by about 0.25 cm/s, it will collide with Earth and cause tremendous damage. Researchers suggest that a small "space tug" sent to the asteroid's surface could exert a gentle constant force of 2.4 N . For how long must this force act?
