A satellite in orbit around the earth is at an altitude of 137.7 percent of the earth's radius. Rounding off our old friend "g" to ten meters per second squared, what is the acceleration due to earth's gravity at the satellite? Your answer should be in meters per second squared
Let's consider an astronaut with a mass of 76.0 kg standing on the Earth. What is the gravitational force (in N) on the astronaut? (Review your work from the previous part. Remember that you can use the full gravitational force formula, or w = mg.) weight on the Earth's surface = 744.8 N Now let's imagine that same astronaut in orbit aboard the space station, orbiting at an altitude (height above the Earth's surface) of 380 km. We first need to find the astronaut's distance to the center of the Earth. What is the altitude expressed in units of meters? 380 km = 380000 The radius of the Earth is 6.37 ✕ 106 m. What is the total distance (in m) from the center of the Earth to the astronaut? r =_________m Finally, let's put it all together. Use the universal gravitational force formula to find the force (in N) on the astronaut, where m = 76.0 kg, the Earth's mass ME = 5.97 ✕ 1024 kg, and the distance r is the result you just found. F = ______N solve for the two bolded…

Write down an expression for the gravitational filed strength of a planet of radius R and density ρ. Please use "*" for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate without the quotes). For Greek letters such as ?ρ and ?π use rho and pi.

In Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Two Towers, the wizard Gandalf falls from the Bridge of Khazad-dûm for a total screen time of 71 seconds. Darren wanted to calculate the maximum height the fall could have been and running the numbers concluded that it could be at most 4.94 km from the bridge to the heart of the mountain below. Is Darren's conclusion a fair estimation of the total fall distance?Be sure to:*State your claim with disagreeing with 4.94 km being a reasonable height for the fall.*Gather evidence from your choice of a combination of your own calculations and observations from the film (lord of the rings -Gandalf vs Balrog entire battle HD) *Connect your evidence to your claim by reasoning why it supports your claim. Any evidence you share should be directly linked with your reasoning to why or why not 4.94 km or 4,940 m is a reasonable estimate for the falling distance.

As discussed in class, the moon is receding from the Earth due to tides at a rate of ~4 cm/year. Let’s assume that rate has been constant throughout time (it wasn’t, but we can use it to illustrate some key points). Its current semi-major axis is 384,400 km.a) If the moon formed 4.5 billion years ago and has been receding from the Earth ever since, what was its original semi-major axis? What was its original orbital period?b) What would the apparent size of the Moon have been in the sky as viewed from Earth? That is, in Hmwk 2, you were told the diameter of the Moon spans about 0.5o when viewed from Earth today. What would it have been when the Moon first formed?

Assume the Earth is a uniform sphere with constant density. Let R represent the radius of the Earth and g be the acceleration due to gravity at the surface. At which location above the surface of the earth will the acceleration due to gravity be g/3? Check to see if the answer is correct or/and makes sense, and show your work. RE = 6370 km ME = 6 x 1024 kg
Consider a situation where a satellite is orbiting Mars at a distance equal to 3 times the radius of Mars.
