These problems share the same scenario. Each is just a different question about the same situation. Also, note the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 5, not 9.80 as quoted in the text. Consider a rock tossed upward at speed 33.45 from the top of the Empire State Building (381 m above street level). It's given a little horizontal velocity that we'll ignore just so it clears the building as it falls back down after reaching its maximum height. 1) Calculate the time the rock spends on the way up to the maximum height.

Using Figure 13.9, carefull sketch a free body diagram for the case of a simple pendulum hanging at latitude lambda, labeling all forces acting on the point mass,m. Set up the equations of motion for equilibrium, setting one coordinate in the direction of the centripetal accleration (toward P in the diagram), the other perpendicular to that. Show that the deflection angle , defined as the angle between the pendulum string and the radial direction toward the center of Earth, is given by the expression below. What is the deflection angle at latitude 45 degrees? Assume that Earth is a perfect sphere. tan(+)=gg2REtan , where is the angular velocity of Earth.

The weight of bodies may change somewhat from onelocation to another as a result of the variation of the gravitationalacceleration g with elevation. Accounting for this variationusing the relation, determine the weight ofan 80‑kg person at sea level (z = 0), in Denver (z = 1610 m),and on the top of Mount Everest (z = 8848 m).
Show that the values vA and vP of the speed of an earth satellite at the apogee A and the perigee P of an elliptic orbit are defined by the relationswhere M is the mass of the earth, and rA and rP represent, respectively, the maximum and minimum distances of the orbit to the center of the earth.
Astronomers predict that on Friday 13 April 2029 the asteroid 99942 Apophis is going to pass within 30,000 km of the Earth. Given the fact that, on average, the Moon is 385,000 km distant from the Earth, this asteroid is going to pass pretty darn close. 99942 Apophis has a mass of 2.7*10^10 kg and is expected to be traveling at a speed of 12.6 km/s relative to the Earth at the time of closest approach. What if astronomers goofed in their calculations and the asteroid is actually going to hit the Earth? With what kinetic energy would 99942 Apophis impact the Earth in terms of megatons of TNT? A detonation of 1 megaton of TNT releases 4.2 * 10^15 Joules of energy.
