According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Earths surface temperature has risen about 1F since 1900. There is evidence that this climate change may be due to human activity. The organizers of World Jump Day argue that if the Earth were in a slightly larger orbit, we could avoid global warming and climate change. They propose that we move the Earth into this new orbit by jumping. The idea is to get people in a particular time zone to jump together. The hope is to have 600 million people jump in a 24-hour period. Lets see if it will work. Consider the Earth and its inhabitants to make up the system. a. Estimate the number of people in your time zone. Assume they all decide to jump at the same time; estimate the total mass of the jumpers. b. What is the net external force on the Earthjumpers system? c. Assume the jumpers use high-tech Flybar pogo sticks (Fig. P8.32), which allow them to jump 6 ft. What is the displacement of the Earth as a result of their jump? d. What happens to the Earth when the jumpers land?
Use a history book, an encyclopedia, or the internet to find out what else was happening in England during Newton’s lifetime and discuss what trends of the time might have contributed to his accomplishments and the rapid acceptance of his work.
By what factor would a person’s weight be increased if Earth had 10 times its present mass, but the same volume?

Calculate the values of g at Earth’s surface for the following changes in Earth’s properties: (a) its mass is doubled and its radius is halved; (b) its mass density is doubled and its radius is unchanged; (c) its mass density is halved and its mass is unchanged.
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is reported as 3.7 m/s2. Express this value in terms of km/min2.
The total mass of the Mars Pathfinder Lander is 860 kg. The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.8 m/s?. Calculate the force of gravity (weight) on the Lander as it lands on Mars. If the force of the air resistance is 1700 N, determine the acceleration of the lander.
You are participating in a NASA traineeship, working with a group planning a new landing on Mars. Your supervisor has come up with an idea for putting a synchronous satellite over the landing spot near the Martian equator, so that radio communication between Earth and the lander is improved. She asks you to report to her on the required height above the Martian surface of a synchronous satellite. Note: The rotation period of Mars is 1.026 d. (Enter your answer in m.)
How many degrees of freedom does Venus orbiting the sun have assuming that its eccentricity is close to zero? Explain why.
The average orbital distance of Mars is 1.52 times the average orbital distance of the Earth. Knowing that the Earth orbits the sun in approximately 365 days, use Kepler's law of harmonies to predict the time for Mars to orbit the sun.
