In the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (m1m2) . While all scientific conjectures must be experimentally verified, can you provided arguments as to why this must be? (You may wish to consider simple examples in which any other form would lead to contradictory results.)

The weight of bodies may change somewhat from onelocation to another as a result of the variation of the gravitationalacceleration g with elevation. Accounting for this variationusing the relation, determine the weight ofan 80‑kg person at sea level (z = 0), in Denver (z = 1610 m),and on the top of Mount Everest (z = 8848 m).
Use the graph below to answer the next three questions. Two projectiles are launched on a planet without an atmosphere (g is NOT 9.8 m/s). Projectile A is in motion for 6 seconds, while projectile B is in motion for 3 seconds before hitting the ground. The +x direction is horizontal and the +y direction is up. 40 32 16 B. 2. 8. x (meters) 10 12 y (meters) 24
Suppose that a projectile of mass m moves in a verticalplane in the atmosphere near the surface of the earth underthe influence of two forces: a downward gravitationalforce of magnitude mg, and a resistive force FR that isdirected opposite to the velocity vector v and has magnitudek v2 (where v = |v| is the speed of the projectile;see Fig. 4.1.15). Show that the equations of motion of theprojectile are mx'' = -kvx' , my'' = -kvy' -mg,
Hi, I have some issue solving this problem using calculus (small variation and linear approximation). Can you help me? The result should be -1cm Newton’s law of gravitation states that the force F of attraction between two particleshaving masses m1 and m2 is given by F = Gm1m2/s2 where G is a constant and s isthe distance between the particles. If s = 20 cm, find approximately the change in sthat will increase F by 10%.
Please help with the solution to this problem using (km/s). I know we will use Hohmann Transfer and a combined plane change. In the opening scene of the movie “Gravity” Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) are required to transit from the Hubble Space Telescope (Altitude 600 km, 28.5 degree inclination) to the International Space Station (Altitude 400 km, 51.6 degree inclination) using nothing but their Manned Maneuvering Units (MMU). An MMU has a delta V capability of about 30 m/s, and it would be impossible to perform this maneuver with so little delta V, but… a.) How much delta V would be required for this maneuver? b.) What if the maneuver did not require an inclination change (altitude change only?)

In the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (~m1m2). While all scientific inferences must be experimentally verified, can you provide arguments as to why this must be correct?
