The easy measurement of g=9.81 m/s2, in the laboratory, already provides us with the information about the product GME (where G is the gravitational constant and ME the mass of Earth), if the Radius RE, of Earth is known, given that g=GME/RE2. a) (15 p) The Radius of Earth, can be easily measured. And, how would you do it? Explain briefly. b) (15 p) How would you measure g, chronometering the loss of altitude of an object, assumed free of...

The acceleration due to gravity g on Earth’s surface is about 9.81 m/s2. Using the universal law of gravitation calculate g as experienced by an astronaut on the ISS, orbiting at average altitude of 415km. What is the weight of a 60kg astronaut on the ISS? Why does the astronaut experience ‘weightless’ even if her weight in far from being zero?

A group of students conduct the ballistic pendulum experiment, the same one we will do. The mass of their projectile was 70 grams, the mass of the block/pendulum was 250 grams. The true/effective length of the pendulum was 35 cm. The experiment was done on Earth where the local acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2. The pendulum swung up to a 38° angle. What was the speed of the projectile out of the cannon before it collides with the...

Consider a satellite of mass m in a circular orbit of radius r around the Earth of mass ME and radius RE. 1. What is the gravitational force (magnitude and direction) on the satellite from Earth? 2. If we define g(r) to be the force of gravity on a mass m at a radial distance r from the center of the Earth, divided by the mass m, then evaluate the ratio g(r)/g(RE)to see how g varies with radial distance.

In the  23rd century, an Earth probe to the planet Altair IV (mass 1.05x1024 kg, radius 3.68x106 m) has a communications failure. To request assistance, a small projectile is shot toward Earth from the surface of the planet, at speed 17.5x103 m/s (which is greater than the escape speed). Ignore friction and all other objects in the universe, and assume the projectile has no fuel. Find the speed of the projectile, in m/s,when it reaches Earth, which is far enough from...
