Fractional change in g. For a uniform, spherical, nonrotating planet with radius Rs = 4.66 × 103 km, let go and gh be the values of g at the surface and at elevation h, respectively. When a particle is lifted from the surface to h = 1.49 km, find the fractional change in the value of the free-fall acceleration g: (gh − 8s)/8s. Number Units ہے
In most calculations, we use W z mg. But we know that, for large changes in altitude, we need to use W x 1/r2. How far above the Earth's surface can we use W = mg before our systematic error reaches 1%? Use only the information given in this question, and the radius of the Earth re = 6400 km. Do not explicitly use G or the mass of the Earth, and do the calculation for the pole so that we don't worry about the effect of centripetal acceleration. Hint: Does g become larger or smaller with altitude? Altitude = km (to one significant figure)
Exoplanet Taphao Keow is a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting another star. It has a mass of approximately 1×10+27[kg]. Its actual radius is not currently known, but we do know that the radius of Jupiter is 7×107[m]. Question: If Taphao Keow had a radius that was the same radius as Jupiter, what would it's local surface gravitational acceleration be?

A number of gas giant planets orbiting other stars at distances less than 1 A.U. have been discovered. Because of their proximity to their parent stars, and their compositional similarity to Jupiter, they have been labeled “Hot Jupiters”. The orbital radius of one of these planets is 0.06 A.U. with average orbital speed 600 km/sec. What is the length of this planet’s year in Earth (solar) days? Estimate the mass, M, of its parent star in terms of the mass of the sun (M) using Newton’s first form of Kepler’s 3rd Law. Calculate the star’s luminosity, L, in terms of the luminosity of the sun (L☉), Note: (LL=MM4where L ~ 4 × 1026 W ). The radius of this planet is 1.5 times the radius of Jupiter. Assuming its equilibrium temperature is the temperature at which the planet radiates as much energy as it receives from its star, estimate the temperature of the planet. The value of the planet’s albedo is 0.8. (NOTE: The intensity of the star’s radiant power at a distance d from the star is…

Europa orbits Jupiter at a distance of 6.7 x 108 m from Jupiter's cloudtops (the surface of the planet). If Jupiter's mass is 1.9 x 1027 kg and radius is 6.8 x 107 m, what is the speed of Europa as it orbits in m/s? Round to the nearest hundredth. Don't worry about putting units, just put the number.
