Question

The NASA Apollo Missions to the moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s were in fact a "giant leap for mankind". It took Apollo 11, that's the spaceship that carried Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin to the moon in 1969, 4 days 6 hours and 45 minutes to get to the moon. They took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 1:32 pm on 7/16/1969, and the lunar module landed on the moon at 8:17 pm on 7/20/1969. The moon is about 250,000 miles away. What was the average speed of the Apollo 11 spacecraft during the trip? *

According to Kepler's third law of planetary motion, the mean distance D, in millions of miles, from a planet in our solar system to the sun is related to the time P, in years, that it takes for the planet to complete a revolution around the sun, and the relationship is D = 93P 2/3. It takes the planet Pluto 248 years to complete a revolution around the sun. What is the mean distance from Pluto to the sun? What is the mean distance from Earth to the sun?

Because of your physics background, you have been hired as a consultant for a newmovie about Galileo. In one scene, he climbs up to the top of a tower and, in frustration over the people who ridicule his theories, throws a rock at a group of them standing on the ground. The rock leaves his hand at 30 degrees from the horizontal. The script calls forthe rock to land 15 m from the base of the tower near a group of his detractors. It isimportant for the script that the rock takes precisely 3.0 seconds to hit the ground sothat there is time for a good expressive close-up. The set coordinator is concerned thatthe rock will hit the ground with too much speed, causing cement chips from the plazato injure on of the high priced actors. You are told to calculate that speed.

You are watching a TV news program when they switch to some scenes taken aboard the space shuttle which circles 500 miles above the Earth once every 95 minutes. To allow the audience to appreciate the distances involved, the announcer tells you that the radius of the Earth is about 4000 miles and the distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 250,000 miles. When an astronaut drops her pen it floats in front of her face. You immediately wonder how the acceleration of the dropped pen compares to the acceleration of a pen that you might drop here on the surface of the Earth.
