The tallest mountain in the solar system is a 24km tall volcano of Mars, Olympus Mons (compare this with the height of Mt. Everest, which is less than 9km). Assume an astronaut drops a ball o the rim of the crater and that the acceleration of gravity remains constant throughout its 24km fall at a value of 0:38 of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. (Assume also that the crater is as deep as the volcano is tall, an assumption which is not true for real volcanos).a) How long does it take for the ball to reach the crater floor?b) What is the velocity of the ball with which it hits the crater floor?
The NEXT morning, you wake up in a strange room yet again, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.40 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.160 s after your drop it. You guess that you must have been taken to an alien planet with gravity different from Earth s. What is this planet s g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet)? 54.7 m/s^2 82.1 m/s^2 207.9 m/s^2 109.4 m/s^2
A planet has a mass of 7.59 × 1023 kg and a radius of 2.97 × 106 m. (a) What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet? (b) How much would a 68.5-kg person weigh on this planet? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
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.
5.) What is the acceleration due to gravity on Mars? (show all work) Object Avg. Radius (m) Mass (kg) Mean sun to planet distance (m) Mars 3.40 x 106 6.42 x 1023 2.28 x 1011

E16. The time separating high tides is 12 hours and 25 minutes. If high tide occurs at 3:10 p.m. one afternoon, a. At what time will high tide occur the next afternoon? b. When would you expect low tides to occur the next day
At what distance above the surface of the earth is the acceleration due to the earth's gravity 0.665 m/s2m/s2 if the acceleration due to gravity at the surface has magnitude 9.80 m/s2?m/s2? Express your answer in meters.
Io, a satellite of Jupiter, is the most volcanically active moon or planet in the solar system. It has volcanoes that send plumes of matter over 500 km high. Due to the satellite's small mass, the acceleration due to gravity on Io is only 1.81 m/s2and Io has no appreciable atmosphere. Assume that there is no variation in gravity over the distance traveled. a)What must be the speed of material just as it leaves the volcano to reach an altitude of 380 km? b)If the gravitational potential energy is zero at the surface, what is the potential energy for a 33 kg fragment at its maximum height (500 km) on Io? c)How much would this gravitational potential energy be if it were at the same height (500 km) above earth?
pls illustrate the graph. I already have found the solution for this question but I need the graph ASAP!! A small asteroid strikes the surface of Mars andcauses a rock to fly upward with a velocity of 26 m/s[52deg above the horizontal]. The rock rises to amaximum height and then lands on the side of a hill12 m above its initial position. The acceleration due togravity on the surface of Mars is 3.7 m/s2/6 A full diagram must be shown in your solution(a) Calculate the maximum height of the rock.(b) Determine the time that the rock is in flight.(c) What is the range of the rock?
1. nasa is expected to send a 2600-kg satellite 450 km above the earth's surface. (a) what is its radius? (b) what speed will it have? (hint earth's mass is 5.97 x 1024 kg)
We are planning a human exploration mission to Mars. We will first place our spacecraft into a circular around Mars and then send down a lander. a) If we want the spacecraft to orbit at an altitude of 170 km above the Martian surface, what will the velocity and orbital period of the spacecraft? b) When we land astronauts on the surface of Mars, what acceleration due to gravity in terms of g’s (i.e. as a fraction of the Earth’s gravitational acceleration) will the astronauts experience? You are permitted to use an online resource (e.g. Google) to find the necessary information about Mars that you might need in solving this problem.
