The figure below shows a spherical hollow inside a lead sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. The surface of the hollow passes through the center of the sphere and "touches" the right side of the sphere. The mass of the sphere before hollowing was M = 2.50 kg. With what gravitational force does the hollowed-out lead sphere attract a small sphere of massm = 0.459 kg that lies at a distance d = 9.00 cm from the center of the lead sphere, on the straight line connecting the centers of the spheres and of the hollow?

In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?

A satellite in geostationary orbit (also called synchronous orbit) appears to remain stationary in the sky as seen from any particular location on the planet. a.) In the future, there will be need for satellites in synchronous orbit around Mars to aid colonies. At what altitude would such a satellite need to be above the surface of Mars?Assume that the mass of Mars is 6.39 × 10^23 kg, the length of the Martian solar day (i.e., sol) is 24h 39m 35s, the length of the sidereal day is 24h 37m 22s, and the equatorial radius is 3396 km. (Hint: if you haven’t had a physics class before, you can find this by using the fact that the acceleration of an object in circular motion either as v2/r, where v and r are the velocity and radius of the orbit, or as 4Pi 2r/T2 , where T is the period. Use this second equation and Mathematical Insight 4.5 on p. 131 to find r for T=1 day. Make sure to use values for Mars nstead of Earth, as necessary. Alternatively, you can calculate the answer using Newton’s…
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.
