Chapter 9, Problem 13CQ
In the classic movie The Spirit of St. Louis, Jimmy Stewart portrays Charles Lindbergh on his history-making transatlantic flight. Lindbergh is concerned about the weight of his fuel-laden airplane. As he flies over Newfoundland he notices a fly on the dashboard Speaking to the fly, he wonders aloud, “Does the plane weigh less if you fly inside it as it’s flying? Now that’s an interesting question” What do you think?

In a research facility, a person lies on a horizontal platform which floats on a film of air. When the person's heart beats, it pushes a mass m of blood into the aorta with speed v,
and the body and platform move in the opposite direction with speed V. Assume that the blood's speed is 51.0 cm/s. The mass of the person + platform is 54.0 kg. The platform
moves 5.20 x 10¬³ m in 0.160 s after one heartbeat. Calculate the mass (in g) of blood that leaves the heart. Assume that the mass of blood is negligible compared with the
total mass of the person, and the person + platform is initially at rest. (Also assume that the changes in velocity are instantaneous.)
Jupiter is about 300 times more massive than Earth. One might quickly conclude that an object on the surface of Jupiter would weigh 300 times more than on the surface of the Earth. For instance, one might expect a person who weighs 500 N on Earth would weigh 150000 N on the surface of Jupiter. Yet this is not the case. In fact, a 500-N person on Earth weighs about 1500 N on the surface of Jupiter. Explain how this can be.
