This is a proportional reasoning calculation. You will want to set up equations, but mostly to look at how the orbital distance affects the orbital velocity, or to set up a ratio. (Once you know how it changes you'll have to multiply by the value at the surface to get an answer in m/s.)At the surface of the exoplanet G 9-40 b, the orbital velocity would be 1.21E+4 m/s.What would the orbital velocity be 11 radii above the surface?m/s.Note: If your answer requires scientific notation, remember that OWL uses "e" notation: 1.1 x 105 is 1.1e5 to OWL.

Given Data: At the surface of the exoplanet orbital velocity, v = 1.21 x 104 m/sec Radius of the…

Density Here is a simple problem. Then we'll do one that requires a little more thought. The shape of a city is roughly a circle with a radius of 5 miles. If the population density for the city is 10,000 people per square mile, what is the population of the city? 11111 Now here's a problem that will stretch your problem solving skills. This time the city is also in the shape of a circle, but the population density is higher towards the center of the city and lower towards the outskirts. The numbers in the diagram represent miles. The population density is 10,000 people per square mile in the inner circle. In the first ring out from the center the density is 8,000 people per square mile, the second ring out it's 6,000, in the third ring out it's 4,000 and in the largest ring it's only 2,000 people per square mile. Finally, here is a three dimensional problem. Density is defined as weight per unit of volume. So which weighs more, a ball of zinc with a radius of 3 cm, or a ball of…
The radius Rh of a black hole is the radius of a mathematical sphere, called the event horizon, that is centered on the black hole. Information from events inside the event horizon cannot reach the outside world. According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, Rh = 2GM/c2, where M is the mass of the black hole and c is the speed of light. Suppose that you wish to study a black hole near it, at a radial distance of 48Rh. However, you do not want the difference in gravitational acceleration between your feet and your head to exceed 10 m/s2 when you are feet down (or head down) toward the black hole. (a) Take your height to be 1.5 m. What is the limit to the mass of the black hole you can tolerate at the given radial distance? Give the ratio of this mass to the mass MS of our Sun. (b) Is the ratio an upper limit estimate or a lower limit estimate?

In this problem you will measure the gravitational constant in a series of “observational experiments,” making use of Newton’s law of gravitation and second law of motion as well as Kepler’s third law of planetary motion Suppose a rocket is launched as described in part (d) with an initial speed of vi = 494 m/s and attains a peak altitude of H = 12.7 km above the surface of Earth. Taking ME = 5.95×1024 kg and Ri = 6.41×106 m, what is the measured value of the gravitational constant, in units of N⋅m2/kg2?
A heavy rainstorm dumps a total of 73 cm of rain on a rectangular shaped city area measuring 9 km by 17 km over a 27 hr period. Determine the average rate of rain fall in metric tons per second. NOTE: 1 cm3 water has a mass of 1 gram and 1 metric ton = 1000 kg. I attached how far I have gotten on this problem and I don't know if I did that correctly or not and am not sure where to go from where I am at.
MODELING REAL LIFE The kinetic energy (in joules) of an object in motion is given by the formula KE = mv², where m is the mass (in kilograms) of the object and v is the velocity (in meters per second). Solve the formula for v. Then approximate the velocity of a 1200-kilogram car that has 360,000 joules of kinetic energy.
