Calculate the centripetal force on the end of a 100 m (radius) wind turbine blade that is rotating at 0.5 rev/s. Assume the mass is 4 kg.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that the rockets used to put satellites and spacecraft into orbit are usually launched from pads near the equator. Why is this so? Is the fact that rockets are usually launched to the east also important? Why?
Use Keplers second law to convince yourself that Earth must move faster in its orbit during the northern hemisphere winter, when it is closest to the Sun, than during the summer, when it is farthest from the Sun.
An owl is carrying a mouse to the chicks in its nest. Its position at that time is 4.00 m west and 12.0 m above the center of the 30.0 cm diameter nest. The owl is flying east at 3.50 m/s at an angle 30.0° below the horizontal when it accidentally drops the mouse. Is the owl lucky enough to have the mouse hit the nest? To answer this question, calculate the horizontal position of the mouse when it has fallen 12.0 m.
What percentage of the acceleration at Earth's surface is the acceleration due to gravity at the position of a satellite located 300 km above Earth?
Which is true about the acceleration due to gravity? (3.5) (a) It is a universal constant. (b) It is a fundamental property. (c) It decreases with increasing altitude. (d) It is different for different objects in free fall.
Unreasonable Result A mountain 10.0 km from a person exerts a gravitational force on him equal to 2.00% of his weight. (a) Calculate the mass of the mountain. (b) Compare the mountain's mass with that of Earth. (c) What is unreasonable about these results? (d) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent? (Note that accurate gravitational measurements can easily detect the effect of nearby mountains and variations in local geology.)
Astrology makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of one’s birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the gravitational force exerted on a 4.20-kg baby by a 100-kg father 0.200 m away at birth (he is assisting so he is close to the child). (b) Calculate the force on the baby due to jupiter if it is at its closest distance to Earth, some 6.291011m away. How does the force of Jupiter on the baby compare to the force of the father on the baby? Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.)
Two friends are having a conversation. Anna says a satellite in orbit in freefall because the satellite keeps falling toward Earth. Tom says a satellite in orbit is not in freefall because the acceleration due to gravity is not 9.80 m/s2. Who do you agree with and why?
In Figure 8.11, a person launches a ball off of a building three times. Case 1. He drops the ball and it lands at the base of the building. Case 2. He uses a slingshot to launch the ball in a parabolic path. The ball lands on the ground at the same level as the base of the building. Case 3. He launches the ball. It flies in a parabolic path and lands on the roof of a building at the same height at which the ball was launched. Compare the change in potential energy of the Earthball system for each case. Explain your answer.
A mountain 10.0 km from a person exerts a gravitational force on him equal to 2.00 of his weight. (a) Calculate the mass of the mountain. (b) Compare the mountain’s mass with that of Earth.

Gravity is a bit different on Mars. A rock is kicked off the surface of Mars. It reaches a maximum height of 96.15ft after 3.85 seconds and then lands back on the surface 7.7 seconds after it was kicked. Determine the equation of the flight of the rock in standard form.
