- A sphere of copper has a radius of 50.0 cm and a mass of 4690 kg. A sphere of unknown metal has a radius of 30.0 cm. The surfaces of the spheres are 20.0 cm apart. The force of gravitational attraction between the two spheres is 0.372 mN. What is the mass of the unknown metal?Consider a spherical shell constructed from a material of density 6.1 x 103 kg/m3. The inner radius of the shell is 4.9 x 106 m from the center, and the outer radius of the shell is 9.2 x 106 m from the center. Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational field 13.1 x 106 m from the center of the shell, in N/kg. Use G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2 / kg2. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)Consider a planet that has two layers. There is a core, which has density 9.9 x 103 kg/m3 and radius 3.9 x 106 m, and then there is a crust, which has density 4.9 x 103 kg/m3 and sits on top of the core. The planet has a total radius of 16.9 x 106 m. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of this planet, in N/kg. Use G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2/ kg2.

What is the radius of the orbit in kilometers (km)? You may assume the orbit is circular. The mass of the ISS is 420 kg, and the mass of the Earth is 6.0×10246.0×1024kg. Newton’s gravitational constant is 6.7×10−11N⋅m2kg26.7×10−11kg2N⋅m2.You encounter a strange cosmic string in outer space. The string extends along the x axis from x = 0 m to x = 4.6 x 104 m. You are located at x = -5.4 x 104 m. You experience a gravitational field equal to 9.6 x 10-6 N/kg at this location. Assuming the string has a constant linear mass density, calculate this linear mass density, in units of 105kg/m. Use G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2/ kg2.

- Rick is an Aerospace Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsions Laboratory (JPL), and is designing the next mission to Pluto called “New Horizons 2: The Sequel". This time Rick plans to study Pluto's largest moon Charon. Charon has a mass of 1.586 ×1021 kg and a mean radius of 606 km, and might have a nitrogenous atmosphere (N2) just like Pluto. If, for a massive object to have an atmosphere its escape speed must be 12 times greater than the root-mean- square (rms) velocity of the gas (otherwise the gas will slowly leak away over time), what is the maximum temperature that Charon can have and still have a nitrogenous atmosphere? [Charon has a temperature of -281 °C = 55 K, day or night.]On a planet whose radius is 1.80 × 104 km, the acceleration due to gravity is 16.5 m/s?.
