Calculate the effective gravitational field vector g at Earths surface at the poles and the equator. Take account of the difference in the equatorial (6378 km) and polar (6357 km) radius as well as the centrifugal force. How well does the result agree with the difference calculated with the result g = 9.780356[1 + 0.0052885 sin 2 0.0000059 sin2(2)]m/s2 where is the latitude?
A single-stage rocket of mass 308 metric tons (not including fuel) carries a payload of 3150 kg to low-Earth orbit. The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c. Because the exhaust speed of the redesigned rocket is increased by a factor of two, why is the fuel consumption of the redesigned rocket not exactly half that of the original rocket?
Jupiter has a mass of 1.9 x 1027 kg—more than twice that of all the other planets in the solar system combined. Its average distance from the sun is 7.78 x 1011 m. If the sun has a mass of 1.99 x 1030 kg and a radius of 6.96 x 108 m, how far from the center of the sun would you find the center of mass of the Jupiter-sun system? (Since Jupiter is so much more massive than the other planets, this position essentially represents the center of mass of the solar system as a whole.)
Two spherical asteroids have mass 1= 1.00 x 10^20 kg and mass 2= 3.00 x 10^20 kg. The magnitude of the force of attraction between the two asteroids is 2.20 x 10^9 N. Calculate the distance between the two asteroids?
In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?

An astronaut, whose mission is to go where no one has gone before, lands on a spherical planet in a distant galaxy. As she stands on the surface of the planet, she releases a small rock from rest and finds that it takes the rock 0.480 s to fall 1.90 m. If the radius of the planet is 8.60 * 107 m, what is the mass of the planet?
