1)Suppose we have two planets with the same mass, but the radius of the second one is twice the size of the first one.

How does the free-fall acceleration on the second planet compare to the first planet?

2) Consider two celestial objects with masses m1 and m2 with a separation distance between their centers r.

If the separation distance r were to halve (1/2), what would happen to the magnitude of the force of attraction?

3) Consider two celestial objects with masses m1 and m2 with a separation distance between their centers r.

If the first mass m1 were to double and the second mass m2 were to halve (1/2), what would happen to the magnitude of the force of attraction?

4) Consider two celestial objects with masses m1 and m2 with a separation distance between their centers r.

If the separation distance r were to triple, what would happen to the magnitude of the force of attraction?

An object of mass m1 approaches with velocity v1 another object of mass m2, which is at rest, next to a spring having force constant k. The spring is fixed to a wall and m2 can compress the spring. This is one-dim horizontal collision without friction. We consider two collision scenarios, one which is perfectly inelastic, and the other which is elastic. (a) In the first collision case the object m1 strikes m2 and sticks. Moving together, they compress the...
