Chapter 7, Problem 40EAP
Comparing Planetary Conditions. Use both Table 7.1 and Appendix Eto answer each of the following.
- Which column of data would you use to find out which planet has the shortest days? Are there any notable differences in the length of a day for the different types of planets? Explain.
- Which column of data would you use to find out which planets should have seasons? Explain.
- Which columntells you how much a planet’s orbit deviates from a perfect circle? For each planet, use that column to decide whether you would expect its average surface temperature to vary over the course of its orbit, and why.

An outfielder throws a baseball to his catcher in an attempt to throw out a runner at home plate. The ball bounces once before reaching the catcher. Assume the angle at which the bounced ball leaves the ground is the same as the angle at which the outfielder threw it as shown in the figure, but that the ball's speed after the bounce is one-half of what it was before the bounce.

(a) Assuming the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed, at what angle & should the fielder throw the ball to make it go the same distance D with one bounce (blue path) as a ball thrown upward at 35.0° with no bounce (green path)?

(b) Determine the ratio of the time interval for the one-bounce throw to the flight time for the no-bounce throw.
Cone-bounce

A rocket is launched at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 97 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 28.0 m/s². At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile.
(a) Find the maximum altitude reached by the rocket.
