The mass of Venus is 81.5% that of the earth, and its radius is 94.9% that of the earth. (a) Compute the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Venus from these data. (b) If a rock weighs 75.0 N on earth, what would it weigh at the surface of Venus?
The days on Mars and Earth are of nearly identical length. Earth's mass is 9.35 times Mars's mass, Earth's radius is 1.88 times Mars's radius, and Mars is on average 1.52 times farther away from the Sun than Earth is. The Martian year is 1.88 times longer than Earth's year. Assume that they are both uniform spheres and that their orbits about the Sun are circles. Estimate the ratio (Earth to Mars) of the following. (a) their spin angular momenta(b) their spin kinetic energies(c) their orbital angular momenta(d) their orbital kinetic energies
The value of g at any latitude o may be obtained from the formula g = 32.09(1+ 0.0053 sin 4) ft/s? which takes into account the effect of the rotation of the earth, as well as the fact that the earth is not truly spherical. Determine (a) the weight in pounds, (b) the mass in pounds, (c) the mass in lb.s/ft, at the latitudes of 0°, 45°, and 60°, of a silver bar, the mass of which has been officially designated as 5 lb.
