A solar sailplane is going from Earth to Mars. Its sail is oriented to give a solar radiation force of FRad = 7.90 × 102 N. The gravitational force due to the Sun is 173 N and the gravitational force due to Earth is 1.00 × 102 N. All forces are in the plane formed by Earth, Sun, and sailplane. The mass of the sailplane is 14,000 kg.

- Your starship, the Aimless Wanderer, lands on the mysterious planet Mongo. As chief scientist-engineer, you make the following measurements: A 2.50 kg stone thrown upward from the ground at 12.0 m/s returns to the Part A ground in 5.70 s; the circumference of Mongo at the equator is 2.00 x 105 km; and there is no appreciable atmosphere on Mongo. The starship commander, Captain Confusion, asks for the following information: What is the mass of Mongo? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Goddard of Clark University was the creator of the technology used by modern rockets (those that are powered by liquid fuels and not by gunpowder). In a Smithsonian Institute publication, the professor said that the rockets would serve, in addition to transporting meteorological measurement equipment beyond the Earth's atmosphere, to travel to the Moon. Due to this, on January 13, 1920, a review "A severe strain on credulity" was published in the "Topics of the Times" of the New York Times, where the possibility of the operation of the rocket outside the Earth's atmosphere is questioned since without a resisting atmosphere, the propulsion engines could not fly, thus mocking Professor Goddard's knowledge. The New York Times published 49 years later (on July 17, 1969, when the Apollo 11 astronauts headed for the Moon): "The Times regrets the mistake." That error was due to the fact that the New York Times considered that: A) would receive a…arrow_forwardHow would you solve this: In the search for the Higgs Boson, it was posited that the potnetial energy storedbetween two higgs particles is given by a 1 dimensional function of the distancebetween the two particles (x) as U(x) = c + ax2 − bx4 where a, b, c are constants.a) Find a function for the force as a function of position.b) what value of position (x) is the equilibrium position in terms of a and b.arrow_forward
