00 lb space probe is launched from Earth, headed for deep space.   a) List the correct equation and solve for mass given that the acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s2   b) At a distance of 15,000 miles from the Earth's center, the space probe releases a payload that reduces the mass of the space probe by 1/4th (i.e., space probe is now 25% lighter in mass). By how much did the gravitational force go up or down after the payload has been released? Start with the equations from the text or class notes and solve.

If the Moon has 1/6th the gravity of Earth, which of the following is true? and why? a. A 600lb weight on earth would be 100lb on the moon b. g for the moon is g/6 c. G for the moon is G/6d. The moon has 1/6th the mass of earth

Figure 1 d, dz Satellite Moon Planet A human-made satellite was placed along a straight line between a distant planet and its single moon, as shown in the diagram above. The planet has a mass of 135 x 1024 kg. The satellite has a mass of 12 x 103 kg. The moon has a mass of 2.51 x 1024 kg. The distance from the center of the planet to the center of the moon is di = 57 x 10° meters (note that this is the same as 57 megameters or 57 Mm). The satellite was placed a distance d, from the center of the moon. The distance dz was chosen so that the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the planet would be equal in magnitude to the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the moon. Calculate the distance dz in units of megameters or Mm. [Hint: calculate the distance in units of meters and then divide by 10°. In other words, if you calculate the distance to be 3.14 x 107 meters, you should enter 31.4 as your answer.]

Q1) Use Newton's law of universal gravitation to calculate the weight of a 55-kg person standing on the surface of the earth. Then repeat the calculation by using W = mg and compare your two results. Q2 What is meant by force in four fundamental quantities involved in Newton's Laws? Give several examples and explain in no more than 200 words.

PM2: please answer question and explain each step with reasoning

How much more or less does a 53 kg person appear to weigh on the North Pole than they do at the equator.  Indicate a positive weight difference with a positive number and a negative weight difference with a negative number.  Assume the earth is a perfect sphere.  Use the "Useful Planetary Data" in your notes.  Hint:  Apparent weight is the normal force exerted on the person by the earth (or on the earth by the person).  Think of situations where this normal force would not be equal to weight.

The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects. F=(1/D^2). If you gather data on the gravitational force while varying the distance between two objects how would you plot the data to best visualize this relationship. (Think about how force changes as distance changes what type of curve what does generate on standard graph paper which transformation would change this curve into a straight line).

What happens to the force of gravitational attraction between two small objects if the mass of each object is doubled and the distance between their centers is doubled?A. It is doubled.B. It is quadrupled.C. It is halved.D. It remains the same.www.crackap.com---------------------
