Can you please help me whith this question? Thank you so much!
In this problem you will measure the gravitational constant in a series of “observational experiments,” making use of Newton’s law of gravitation and second law of motion as well as Kepler’s third law of planetary motion Suppose a rocket is launched as described in part (d) with an initial speed of vi = 494 m/s and attains a peak altitude of H = 12.7 km above the surface of Earth. Taking ME = 5.95×1024 kg and Ri = 6.41×106 m, what is the measured value of the gravitational constant, in units of N⋅m2/kg2?
On the surface of a planet, you step on a bathroom scale and observe a reading of 180 N. You then board a de-elevator that goes to the center of the planet. On the way down, you stop, weigh yourself again and observe a reading of 50 N. How far below the planet's 'sea level' have you decended in km? Assume the planet radius and mass are 2370 km and 2.8 E23 kg, respectively.
