The inner radius of the shell is 4.9 x 106 m from the center, and the outer radius of the shell is 9.2 x 106 m from the center. Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational field 13.1 x 106 m from the center of the shell, in N/kg. Use G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2 / kg2.

Usually these memes state that the alignment will counteract Earth's gravity slightly so you will feel less of a gravitational pull towards the Earth. Can this ever happen? Let's look at the numbers. What is the gravitational force (in N) of the Earth on you (MĚ = 5.97 × 1024 kg, R₁ = 6380 km)? Say your mass is 64 kg. (Enter the magnitude.) What is the gravitational force (in N) of Jupiter on you when it is closest to Earth (M₁ = 1.90 × 1027 kg, R₁ = 5.88 × 108 km)? (Enter the magnitude.) By what factor would the mass of Jupiter need to increase to be equal to the gravitational force you feel from the Earth? Part 1 of 5 The gravitational force between two masses is given by -GMm r² where G = 6.67 x 10-11 m³/s²/kg.

- You encounter a strange cosmic string in outer space. The string extends along the x axis from x = 0 m to x = 4.6 x 104 m. You are located at x = -5.4 x 104 m. You experience a gravitational field equal to 9.6 x 10-6 N/kg at this location. Assuming the string has a constant linear mass density, calculate this linear mass density, in units of 105kg/m. Use G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2/ kg2. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)arrow_forwardDetermine the gravitational field at mass A.
