At the north pole and equator, a 75 kg man would weigh? For this instance, the earth is a perfect sphere with complete uniform mass distribution.
Which scale reading is higher and by how much (north pole vs equator)?
Because the Earth rotates about its axis, a point on the equator experiences a centripetal acceleration of 0.033 7 m/s2, whereas a point at the poles experiences no centripetal acceleration. If a person at the equator has a mass of 75.0 kg, calculate (a) the gravitational force (true weight) on the person and (b) the normal force (apparent weight) on the person. (c) Which force is greater? Assume the Earth is a uniform sphere and take g = 9.800 m/s2.
An asteroid in deep space exerts a 500 N gravitational force on a nearby spacecraft. If the spacecraft moves to a point 2 times as far from the center of the asteroid, the force will be
a.) Zero
b) 125 N
c) 250 N
d) 1000 N
e) 2000 N
