Suppose an alien civilization has a space station in circular orbit around its home planet. The stations orbital radius is twice the planets radius, (a) If an alien astronaut has weight w just before launch from the surface, will she be weightless when she reaches the station and floats inside of it? (b) If not, what will be the ratio of her weight in orbit to her weight on the planets surface?
An inflated spherical beach ball with a radius of 0.3573 m and average density of 10.65 kg/m3 is being held under water in a pool by Janelle. The density of the water in the pool is 1000.0 kg/m3. When Janelle releases the ball, it begins to rise to the surface. If the drag coefficient of the ball in the water is 0.470 and the constant upward force on the ball is 1875 N, what will be the terminal speed of the ball as it rises? Ignore the effects of gravity on the ball.
(a) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun. (b) By what factor would your weight increase if you could stand on the Sun? (Never mind that you cannot.)
(a) What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon? (b) On the surface of Mars? The mass of Mars is 6.4181023 kg and its radius is 3.38106 m.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), with mass m = 1850 kg, maps the surface of the Moon from an orbital altitude of 50.0 km. What are the magnitude and direction of a. the force the LRO experiences due to the Moons gravity and b. the force exerted by the LRO on the Moon?
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)?
The drag coefficient C in FD=12CAv2 (Eq. 6.5) depends primarily on the shape of the object. You already have developed an intuition about what shapes correspond to a low C by observing the shapes of aerodynamic cars, boats, and even bullets. Which object, a sphere or a cube, would have a larger drag coefficient, assuming they are nearly the same size? Explain your reasoning. What aspect of an object most determines its drag coefficient?
The mass of a particle is 15 kg. (a) What is its weight on Earth? (b) What is its weight on the Moon? (c) What is its mass on the Moon? (d) What is its weight in outer space far from any celestial body? (e) What is its mass at this point?
A filled treasure chest (m = 375 kg) with a long rope tied around its center lies in the middle of a room. Dirk wishes to drag the chest, but there is friction between the chest and the floor with s = 0.52. If the angle between the rope and the floor is 30.0, what is the magnitude of the tension required to just get the chest moving?
In a race like the Indianapolis 500, a driver circles the track counterclockwise and feels his head pulled toward one shoulder. To relieve his neck muscles from having to hold his head erect, the driver fastens a strap to one wall of the car and the other to his helmet. The length of the strap is adjusted to keep his head vertical. (a) Which shoulder does his head tend to lean toward? (b) What force or forces produce the centripetal acceleration when there is no strap? (c) What force or forces do so when there is a strap?
Io and Europa are two of Jupiters many moons. The mean distance of Europa from Jupiter is about twice as far as that for Io and Jupiter. By what factor is the period of Europas orbit longer than that of Ios?
