An astronaut lands on a distant unmanned planet having a radius of 4000 km. When he jumps with an initial speed of 4.00 m/s, he rises to a height of 1.60 m. (a) What is the mass of the planet? (6) Calculate the escape velocity associated with the planet. (12 points) TTT Antal T 3 (120
The escape speed from a distant planet is 45 km/s. If the acceleration of gravity on the planet surface is 14.0 m/s2, what is the radius of the planet?
The escape speed from a distant planet is 47 km/s. If the acceleration of gravity on the planet surface is 15.0 m/s2, what is the radius of the planet?
7. An astronaut shipwrecked on a distant planet with unknown characteristics is on top of a cliff, which he wishes to descend He does not know the acceleration due to gravity on the planet. and he has only a good watch with which to make measurements. He wants to learn the height of the cliff, and to do this, he makes two measurements (Fig. 2-2 ). First, he lets a rock fall from rest off the cliff edge; he finds...
1. On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.3 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 45 m/s at an angle of 42° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. (a) On the distant planet, what is the...

On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 3.80 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 46.7 m/s at an angle of 34 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet, what are (a) the...
An astronaut is stranded on a distant planet. He needs to send a message rocket home so he can be rescued. In order to launch the rocket successfully, the astronaut must know the acceleration of gravity on this planet. He takes the following data by dropping a rock from the top of a tree: Time (s) Position Trial 1 (m) Position Trial 1 (m) Position Trial 1 (m) Average Position (m) 1.0 4.153 4.21 4.162 2.0 16.05 17.11 16.94 3.0...
Consider an airless, non-rotating planet of mass M and radius R. An electromagnetic launcher standing on the surface of this planet shoots a projectile with initial velocity v0 directed straight up. Unfortunately, due to some error, v0 is less than the planet’s escape velocity ve; specifically, v0 = 0.701 ve. Unable to escape the planet’s gravitational pull, the projectile rises to a maximal height h above the ground, then falls back to the ground. Calculate the ratio h R of...
6. An astronaut ona distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +15 m/s and measures a time of 20.0 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? See Diagram below: 20.0s v,15 m/s Show your work below: 7. Problem using vectors: A sailboat sails for 1 hr at 4 km/hr (relative to the...
