Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 9CQ
In Figure 5-25 Wilbur asks Mr. Ed, the talking horse, to pull a cart Mr. Ed replies that he would like to, but the laws of nature just won’t allow it. According to Newton’s third law, he says, if he pulls on the wagon it pulls back on him with an equal force. Clearly, then, the net force is zero and the wagon will stay put. How should Wilbur answer the clever horse?

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 motionPart (a) Newton measured the centripetal acceleration of the moon in its orbit around Earth by comparing the force Earth exerts on the moon with the force Earth exerts on an apple. He obtained a value of ac = 2.72×10-3 m/s2. If Newton had taken the mass of Earth to be ME = 6.01×1024 kg and the mean distance between the centers of Earth and the moon to be RME = 3.85×108 m, what value would he have obtained for the gravitational constant, in units of N⋅m2/kg2?
Part (b) Since measuring the centripetal acceleration of an orbiting body is rather difficult, an alternative approach is to use the body’s rotational period instead. Enter an expression for the gravitational constant, in terms of the distance between Earth and the moon, RME, Earth’s mass,ME, and the moon’s…

A person brings a box onto an elevator. She places the box on the elevator floor. As the
elevator accelerates downward, the person pushes down on the box.
ASSUME:
The box has a mass of 18 kg
The elevator accelerates downward at a rate of 1.5 m/s
The person pushes down on the box with a force of 300 N
I
DETERMINE:
• The normal force (force of the elevator floor) on the box
On Mars, the gravitational field constant is g = 3.7 N/kg.
• a. How much would a 2.0 kg mass weigh on Mars?
• b. If this object was allowed to fall for 4.0 s, what would be the new velocity of the rock, assuming no resistance with the atmosphere of Mars?
• c. What distance would the object fall assuming no atmospheric resistance?
d. When the object does encounter the atmosphere of Mars and reaches terminal velocity, what would the free-body diagram look like? Please label the forces involved.
