3. Let's imagine that the earth is shrinking and we want to escape before it is too late. Let'sset up some notation:R: the radius of EarthMẸ : the mass of Earthm: your massG : the universal gravitational constantc: the speed of lightNote that, since Earth is shrinking, R is not constant, but MẸ is constant (the values of ME,G and c are available on Wikipedia). In this question, we will compute the velocity neededto escape Earth and the radius of (shrunken) Earth for which even light cannot escape (whenEarth becomes a black hole). In fact, all of the related formulae are well known and thepurpose of this question is to justify our work using what we have learned in this course sofar.(a) The work (energy) W needed to free yourself from Earth when its radius is R metres isw = GME m dh.h2RShow that this improper integral is equal toGME mR Your justification should show all necessary steps of the computation including the defi-nition of the improper integral.(b) By the Work-Energy Principle, we know that1w = zmv,where v is the velocity at which you're escaping Earth (escape velocity). Using thisequation, show that2GMEv =(c) Our result from part (b) tells us that, as Earth shrinks, we need a larger and largervelocity to escape. Find the radius of (shrunken) Earth, RB, for which even light cannotescape (this is known as the Schwarzschild radius of Earth). Hint: Compute Rg by usingthe fact that it occurs exactly when the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light c.Your answer should be an expression in terms of G, ME, and c. (You may find that RBis about 9mm.)

According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Earths surface temperature has risen about 1F since 1900. There is evidence that this climate change may be due to human activity. The organizers of World Jump Day argue that if the Earth were in a slightly larger orbit, we could avoid global warming and climate change. They propose that we move the Earth into this new orbit by jumping. The idea is to get people in a particular time zone to jump together. The hope is to have 600 million people jump in a 24-hour period. Lets see if it will work. Consider the Earth and its inhabitants to make up the system. a. Estimate the number of people in your time zone. Assume they all decide to jump at the same time; estimate the total mass of the jumpers. b. What is the net external force on the Earthjumpers system? c. Assume the jumpers use high-tech Flybar pogo sticks (Fig. P8.32), which allow them to jump 6 ft. What is the displacement of the Earth as a result of their jump? d. What happens to the Earth when the jumpers land?

Review. In 1963, astronaut Gordon Cooper orbited the Earth 22 times. The press stated that for each orbit, he aged two-millionths of a second less than he would have had he remained on the Earth.

You may use the approximation 11x=1+x2 for small x. (b) Did the press report accurate information? Explain.
