Answer without rounding off: (COLLAB Gauss's Law for Mass) Journey through the Center of the Earth. A 1024-kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z-position of 3.8 x 106 m through the center of a planet with a radius of 8.5 x 106 m. If the mass of the planet is 48.8 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at time t = 7 s?

At 714 A.M. on June 30, 1908, a huge explosion occurred above remote central Siberia, at latitude 61 N and longitude 102 E; the fireball thus created was the brightest flash seen by anyone before nuclear weapons. The Tunguska Event, which according to one chance witness “covered an enormous part of the sky,” was probably the explosion of a stony asteroid about 140 m wide. (a) Considering only Earth’s rotation, determine how much later the asteroid would have had to arrive to put the explosion above Helsinki at longitude 25 E. This would have obliterated the city. (b) If the asteroid had, instead, been a metallic asteroid, it could have reached Earth’s surface. How much later would such an asteroid have had to arrive to put the impact in the Atlantic Ocean at longitude 20 W? (The resulting tsunamis would have wiped out coastal civilization on both sides of the Atlantic.)

A proton initially moves left to right long the x axis at a speed of 9,070 m/s. It moves into an electric field, which points in the negative x direction, and travels a distance of 0.7 m before coming to rest. If the proton's mass and charge are 1.67 × 10−27 kg and 1.60 × 10−19 C respectively, what is the magnitude of the electric field?
The proton is traveling at a constant speed of 5.5 × 105 m/s, and the radius of the kissing circle is 0.02 m. The mass of a proton is 1.7 × 10-27 kg. When the proton is at location A, what are the magnitude and direction (d|p→|/d⁢t)(p^) of the parallel component of dp→/d⁢t?
