Why is Newton's version of Kepler's third law so useful to
astronomers?
It is the only way to determine the masses of many distant objects.
O It tells us how rapidly a planet spins on its axis.
O It explains why objects spin faster when they shrink in size.
O It tells us that more-distant planets orbit the Sun more rapidly.
You feel a force of gravity when you stand on Earth. If you went to the moon, you would feel a force of gravity that is six times smaller than on Earth. If the moon has a radius that is about four times smaller than Earth, how does the moon's mass compare to Earth's?

- Let's say we were to measure the force of gravity between two objects. Next we increase the mass of one of the objects by a factor of 6 (aka it is 6 times more massive) and decrease the mass of the other by a factor of 2 (aka it is 1/2 the original mass). How does the force of gravity in this new case compare to the original case? (aka how many times larger (value greater than 1) or smaller (value smaller than 1) is the force of gravity in the new case?arrow_forwardA person has a mass of 70 kg. What is this person's weight? What is the force that this person exerts onto the Earth? What is the Earth's acceleration because of this person? How big is aMoon? How big is aMars? What is therefore the weight of the person from Q11 on the Moon? What is the person's weight on Mars?arrow_forwardImagine a person riding in an elevator that is just leaving the top floor and picks up speed for 3 seconds until it reaches its maximum cruising speed and holds it for another 4 seconds. While riding this elevator, the person is also standing on a bathroom scale that reads 830 N for the first 3 seconds, and then it reads 930 N for the last 4 seconds. What is the elevator’s velocity at the end of this 7 seconds of motion?arrow_forward
- Picture below:arrow_forwardA 60 kg man is standing on a scale in an elevator moving up at 2 m/s^2, what is his weight? What is his weight when the elevator is moving down at 3 m/s^2? What is his weight when the elevator is moving at a constant speed of 2 m/s?arrow_forwardWhat is the gravitational force of attraction between two 800 kg spherical objects that are 5 m apart? What would the gravitational force of attraction between these two objects be if the distance between them waschanged to 10 m?arrow_forward
- An object experiences a gravitational force of 2 N at the surface of the Earth. How will the gravitational force acting on the object change if the mass of the object is doubled?arrow_forwardA ball is dropped from a tower that is 400 m tall. Assuming only gravitational force g = 9.8 m/sec2, how long does it take to reach the ground? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) What is the speed upon impact? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)arrow_forwardBased on Atwoods machine. A student goes to planet x and wants to determine the gravity there. The student knows from physics lab they can use Atwood’s machine to determine gravity. The student places a 100 gram mass and a 110 gram mass at the end of the string and hangs it over a pulley. The student places the 100 gram mass one meter above the ground and times its fall as being 0.3 seconds. What is the gravity on planet X?arrow_forward
- Gravitational force on the Moon is only 1/6 that of the gravitational force on Earth. What would be the weight of a 10-kgkg object on the Moon and on Earth? What would be its mass on the Moon and on Earth?arrow_forwardEarth's orbit is (on average) 1 Astronomical Unit from the Sun. For reference, 1 Astronomical Unit is about 93 million miles. Jupiter's orbit is about 5 Astronomical Units from the Sun. Suppose that the gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun is equal to 50,000 N (it's way more than that but we are just pretending here). If we move Earth to Jupiter's orbit, what will be the new value of the gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun? Remember to include units of force (Newtons or N) in your answer.arrow_forward10kg newarrow_forward
