1 Circular Motion A satellite orbits the Earth in a circular, geostationary orbit. Problem 1.1. Show that its orbital velocity is 7.27 × 10-5 R s−1, where R is the orbital radius. You may want to google what a "geostationary orbit" is. Problem 1.2. The gravitational acceleration acting on the satellite is GM Earth, where G = 6.67×10-11 Nm²/Kg² and MEarth = 5.98×10²4Kg. Given that the Earth's radius is 6.37×106 meters, what is the altitude of the satellite?

1. Gravity: a. What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on you in Sl units? Make a reasonable numerical estimate and include units. b. The SI unit of force is a newton. What is a newton in terms of the more basic units, kilograms (kg), meters (m), and seconds (sec)? What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that you exert on the Earth? Consider your answer to part a. 2. Contact Forces¹: Besides gravity, nearly all other forces we will encounter in this course are contact forces, which means that the two objects must be touching for the objects to exert forces on each other. Normal Force: When a surface is touching an object, the surface exerts a force on the object that is perpendicular to the surface and pushes into the object. This is called a "normal" force (normal means perpendicular in math). The harder the surfaces press against each other, the larger the normal force.²
2. Integrate the equations of motion for a spherical pendulum, i.e., a particle of mass m moving on the surface of a sphere of radius / in a gravitational field, with Lagrangian L = ml² -(0² + psin² 0) + mglcos 0. 2 Hint: Merely set up the integrals, do not evaluate them. You should obtain two integrals w.r.t. de: one determining t and another determining p. Express the first integral in terms of E,Ueff, m, and l. Express the second integral in terms of E,U eff, m, l, and M₂.

4. Astronomers use a telescope to watch a small moon orbit a planet in our solar system. They find that it takes the moon 14 days to go around the planet once, and they estimate the radius of the moon's orbit is about 4.2 x 10² meters. a. From this information, estimate the mass of the planet. b. Using the mass you found in part (a), estimate the free-fall acceleration on the planet's surface if it has a radius of 3.8 x 106 meters.
