Titania, the largest moon of the planet Uranus, has 18the radiusof the earth and 1/1700 the mass of the earth. (a) What is the accelerationdue to gravity at the surface of Titania? (b) What is the average densityof Titania? (This is less than the density of rock, which is one piece ofevidence that Titania is made primarily of ice.)
The weight of bodies my change somewhat from one location to another as a result of the
variation of the gravitational acceleration g with elevation. At 45° latitude, the gravitational
acceleration as a function of elevation 'z' above sea level is given by;
g = a – bz ,where a = 9.8066 and b = 3.32 × 10-6s².
Determine the weight (in Ib;) of an 160-lbm person at sea level (z = 0), in Denver (z = 1610 m)
and on top of Mount Everest (z = 8848 m), (20 pts)
7. The effects of atmospheric drag cannot be deglected, in general, on the dynamics of
objects moving through the air. The drag force is found to be FD
where p is the density of air, A is the cross sectional area of the object, v is the object's
velocity, and Cp is the so called drag coefficient. For a baseball Cp is measured to be
- .5ρA Cp υ?,

answer change if there was no air resistance?

- An airplane in flight is subject to an air resistanceforce proportional to the square of its speed v. But there is an additionalresistive force because the airplane has wings. Air flowing over thewings is pushed down and slightly forward, so from Newton’s third lawthe air exerts a force on the wings and airplane that is up and slightlybackward (Fig.). The upward force is the lift force that keeps theairplane aloft, and the backward force is called induced drag. At flyingspeeds, induced drag is inversely proportional to v2, so the total airresistance force can be expressed by Fair = av2 + b/v2, where a andb are positive constants that depend on the shape and size of the airplaneand the density of the air. For a Cessna 150, a small single-engineairplane, a = 0.30 N . s2/m2 and b = 3.5 * 105 N . m2/s2.

The precise acceleration due to gravity can be calculated from data taken in an introductory physicslaboratory course. An object, usually a metal ball for which air resistance is negligible, is dropped and the time it takes to falla known distance is measured. Very precise results can be produced with this method ifsufficient care is taken in measuring the distance fallen and the elapsed time.arrow_forward(a) What is the weight of a 4.03 kg backpack?
