Two objects are dropped from a tall cliff: a sheet of paper and a ball made of a crumpled sheet of paper. You know from experience in your life that you should not neglect air resistance for this problem, as the flat sheet of paper behaves very differently than the ball does as they fall, even though they have the same mass.
Question 1: When the two objects are dropped, which has the larger gravitational force acting on it?
a. The sheet of paper
b. The crumpled ball
c. The forces are the same
d. Cannot be determined
Question 2: When the two objects have been falling for a while and have reached their terminal velocity, which has the larger drag force acting on it?

- Figure P7.45 shows a picture of American astronaut Clay Anderson experiencing weightlessness on board the International Space Station. a. Most people have the misconception that a person in a spacecraft is weightless because he or she is no longer affected by gravity. Show that this premise cannot be true by computing the gravitational field of the Earth at an altitude of 200 km the typical altitude of a spacecraft in orbit. Compare this result with the gravitational field on the surface of the Earth. b. Why would astronauts in orbit experience weightlessness even if they are experiencing a gravitational field (and therefore a gravitational force)?arrow_forwardWhen a star dies, much of its mass may collapse into a single point known as a black hole.

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,…arrow_forward
