Written Problem 9 Show all work clearly and neatly. Beginning with this problem, you must use the Problem Solving Guidelines handout. Titan is the largest moon of Saturn. Although its orbit is elliptical, we can obtain reasonable results by assuming that it is circular with a radius of 1.2 x 10° km. The mass of the Saturn and Titan can be found online - try to find at least three significant figures. (a) Determine the universal gravitational force that Saturn exerts on Titan. Include a figure that clearly indicates the direction of this force. (b) In your evaluation, clearly describe the universal gravitational interaction between Saturn and Titan. (c) What is the tangential speed of Titan? Include in your figure the appropriate coordinate system for applying Newton's second law and the direction of the tangential speed and acceleration of Titan. (d) What is the period of Titan in days? Compare this to the actual orbital period found online.

Let's consider an astronaut with a mass of 76.0 kg standing on the Earth. What is the gravitational force (in N) on the astronaut? (Review your work from the previous part. Remember that you can use the full gravitational force formula, or w = mg.) weight on the Earth's surface = 744.8 N Now let's imagine that same astronaut in orbit aboard the space station, orbiting at an altitude (height above the Earth's surface) of 380 km. We first need to find the astronaut's distance to the center of the Earth. What is the altitude expressed in units of meters? 380 km = 380000 The radius of the Earth is 6.37 ✕ 106 m. What is the total distance (in m) from the center of the Earth to the astronaut? r =_________m Finally, let's put it all together. Use the universal gravitational force formula to find the force (in N) on the astronaut, where m = 76.0 kg, the Earth's mass ME = 5.97 ✕ 1024 kg, and the distance r is the result you just found.
