Marvin the Martian is very angry, very angry indeed. The Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator which he bought from the Acme TM Corporation is defective, so he must return it to Earth. The Mars Interplanctary Delivery Scrvice (located on Mars, of course) has determined that his return parcel weighs 117 N. Oh, you have made me very angry, very angry indeed! (a) Calculate the mass of the parcel on Mars. (b) Calculate the mass of the parcel on Earth.

If 1 of the Earth’s mass were transferred to the Moon, how far would the center of mass of the Earth-Moon-population system move? The mass of the Earth is 5.971024kg and that of the Moon is 7.341022kg . The radius of the Moon’s orbit is about 3.84105m .
Check Your Understanding The U.S. Air Force uses “10gs” (an acceleration equal to 109.8m/s2 ) as the maximum acceleration a human can withstand (but only tot several seconds) aid survive. How much time must the Enterprise spend accelerating if the humans on board are to experience an average at most 10gs of acceleration? (Assume the inertial dampeners are offline.)

According to legend, Galileo Galilei dropped two balls of different mass from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa in 1589. Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance. In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t. Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are: g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2) g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2) g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2). Theory Newton succeeded in explaining gravitational acceleration using his Laws of…
A spring balance calibrated for accurate measurements of mass on earth was brought to mars. The engineers usedit to measure the mass of samples of rock and soil. If the local acceleration due to gravy in mars is 3.72 m/s2, what is the mass of a rock showing a reading of 14.7 on the spring balance?
