According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the attraction force
between two bodies is given by:
where mi and m2 are the masses of the bodies, r is the distance between the
bodies, and G=6.67 × 10-" N-m²/kg² is the universal gravitational constant.
Determine how many times the attraction force between the sun and the
Earth is larger than the attraction force between the Earth and the moon.
The distance between the sun and Earth is 149.6 x 10°m, the distance
28
between the moon and Earth is 384.4 × 10°m, mEarth = 5.98 x 10“ kg,
= 2.0 x 10" kg, and mn =7.36 x 102 kg.
The weight of an object at the surface of a planet is proportional to planet's mass and inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet. Jupiter's radius is 11 times Earth's and its mass is 320 times Earth's. An apple weighs 2.20 N on Earth. How much would it weigh on Jupiter?
The average distance, d, that a Galapagos tortoise travels during a day scales with the tortoise’s mass, m, as: d is proportional to m^2/3. If a 50 kg tortoise travels 400m in a day, how far does a 200kg tortoise travel?

- The maximum running speed (S) in km/hr and the corresponding body mass (m) in kg were determined for 55 different species of mammals. An empirical relation was determined to be: S[km/hr] = 5.7 (m[kg])2 . Note: The notation in this equation means, “inserting the mass (m) in units of ‘kg’, automatically calculates the maximum running speed (S) in units of ‘km/hr’. ” (a) What are the implied units for the “5.7” factor? Hint: recall that relations between physical quantities must be dimensionally consistent, and the chosen units must in turn be consistent with the dimensionality.
