You may attempt this question 3 more times for credit. In this problem, we will directly calculate the surface gravity and your weight on another planet. In metric, your weight is measured in "Newtons", and 1 Newton = 1 kg m / s². Newton's constant G = 6.67 x 10-11 m³/(kg s²). Earth has a mass = 5.97 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6378 km. You should be able to verify that g = 9.8 m/s² on Earth using the formula for surface gravity. If your mass is 64 kg, you should also be able to verify you should weigh 626 Newtons. If you can do that you should be OK for what's next. The mass of Venus is 4.87E+24 kg, and it's radius is 6.05E+3 km. What is the surface gravity of this planet? (Watch your units!). m/s² If your mass is 64 kg, what would you weigh on Venus? Newtons. Note: Remember if your answer requires scientific notation to use the "e" notation: "1.1 x 105" is "1.1e5" to OWL.
You have a summer internship at NASA and are working on plans for a new space station to be launched into orbit around the Earth. The design of the space station is shown. A space station is in the shape of a hollow ring of radius r with various structures inside the ring that extend out of the plane of the ring. Two rockets pointing counterclockwise on opposite sides of the ring are highlighted. It is to be constructed in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 60,000 kg. The structures other than the ring shown in the figure have negligible mass compared to the ring. Members of the crew will walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 130 m. The thickness of the ring is very small compared to the radius, so we can model the ring as a hoop. At rest when constructed, the ring is to be set rotating about its axis so that the people standing inside on this deck experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. The rotation…
As seen from above the Earths North Pole, the Moons orbit is counterclockwise. Use a coordinate system with the positivez axis pointing north. Find the magnitude and direction of the Moons angular velocity. Hint: Draw a sketch of the Moons orbit from this perspective above the North Pole, including thecoordinate system.
Calculate the effective gravitational field vector g at Earths surface at the poles and the equator. Take account of the difference in the equatorial (6378 km) and polar (6357 km) radius as well as the centrifugal force. How well does the result agree with the difference calculated with the result g = 9.780356[1 + 0.0052885 sin 2 0.0000059 sin2(2)]m/s2 where is the latitude?
