You hopefully used g=9.8 m/s2 (or thereabouts). That is the gravitational acceleration near the earth's surface. if you rise high above the earth, the gravitational acceleration decreases. Specifically, the gravitational acceleration is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the earth's center.
Equivalently, if you multiply the acceleration by the distance from the earth's center, you should get the same number for all heights.
For this problem, take the radius of the earth as 3,902 miles, and calculate the gravitational acceleration of a satellite in low orbit, 182 miles above the surface.
Peacock mantis shrimps (Odontodactylus scyllarus) feed
largely on snails. They shatter the shells of their prey by
delivering a sharp blow with their front legs, which have
been observed to reach a peak speed of 23 m/s. What is
this speed in kilometers per hour?
To Merge into the highway you need to increase your speed from 50 km/h to 100
km/h. If your car can accelerate at 8.0 m/s², what should the minimum length of the
ramp be? (report your answer in meters)

- A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)?
