Newton had the data listed in Table 6–4, plus the relative sizes of these objects: in terms of the Sun’s radius R , the radii of Jupiter and Earth were 0.0997 R and 0.0109 R . Newton used this information to determine that the average density ρ (= mass/volume) of Jupiter is slightly less than of the Sun, while the average density of the Earth is four times that of the Sun. Thus, without leaving his home planet. Newton was able to predict that the composition of the Sun and Jupiter is markedly different than that of Earth. Reproduce Newton’s calculation and find his values for the ratios ρ J / ρ Sun and ρ E / ρ Sun (the modern values for these ratios are 0.93 and 3.91, respectively).

It is found that when a particular object with a mass of 0.41 kg is released from rest while immersed within a certain substance, the coefficient of proportionality regarding the resistive force is 0.621 kg/s. What is the magnitude of the resistive force that acts on this mass 1.49 s after being released?
Let the resistive force be given by R = -bv (Assume that the gravitational force also acts)
If all planets had the same average density, how would the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of a planet depend on its radius?
Calculate the escape velocity from the surface of a world with mass 7.40 x 10^24kg and radius 7.00 x 10^3
