Consider a planet that has two layers. There is a core, which has density 9.9 x 103 kg/m3 and radius 3.9 x 106 m, and then there is a crust, which has density 4.9 x 103 kg/m3 and sits on top of the core. The planet has a total radius of 16.9 x 106 m. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of this planet, in N/kg. Use G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2/ kg2. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
The gravity on the Moon is equal to 20.52 meters per second squared. During the battle between Alice and Fernanda, Alice was victorious because Fernanda was unable to lift Claudia's hammer, which had been placed in the Moon by Steph after Claudia was murdered by Steph. If Alice is worthy, but she can only lift Claudia's hammer 0.8 meters above the ground on the moon, how high can Alice lift the hammer if the fight takes place on earth?
On February 15, 2013, Asteroid 2012 DA14 passed within 17,200 miles [mi] of the surface of the Earth at a relative speed of 7.8 kilometers per second [km/s]. This is considerably closer than the orbit of geosynchronous satellites (26,200 miles). This is the closest recorded approach of an object this large. The asteroid 2012 DA14 was estimated to have a diameter of 30 meters [m] and a specific gravity of 3. If 2012 DA14 had hit the Earth, what is the total amount of energy that would have been released (i.e., what was the kinetic energy of the asteroid)? Express your answer in megatons [Mton]. One megaton is the energy released by one million metric tons of TNT explosive. A metric ton equals 1,000 kilograms [kg], and the explosive energy of TNT is 4,184 joules per gram [J/g].
