There are numerous moons around the planet Saturn. During the formation of our solar system, these astronomical bodies would have interacted and possibly collided with each other. Imagine that one moon of mass m1 and circular orbital radius r1 originally had a velocity v1 until it collided with another moon of mass m2. This collision caused moon m1 to move in a new circular orbit with velocity 1.25v1. What is the new radius of m1 moon’s orbit?
Jupiter is about 300 times more massive than Earth. One might quickly conclude that an object on the surface of Jupiter would weigh 300 times more than on the surface of the Earth. For instance, one might expect a person who weighs 500 N on Earth would weigh 150000 N on the surface of Jupiter. Yet this is not the case. In fact, a 500-N person on Earth weighs about 1500 N on the surface of Jupiter. Explain how this can be.
