Mars has a mass of 6.421 × 1023kg, and radius 3.4 × 106m. (a) Calculate the gravitational acceleration “g”, at the surface of Mars. (b) Will the gravitational potential approximation given above for Mars be accurate over a larger or smaller range of values of ∆y than that for the Earth? Justify your answer (do the math).
I already answered the question a, but I do not understand what they want for question b.

(a) No maintain circuiar oon (b) If the cars are 1200 kg, what is the force they experience? 2. Kepler-1625b is the name of a planet found outside our solar system. Its mass is 3180x larger than Earth and its radius is 9x larger than Earth. (a) What is the gravitational acceleration (little g) on the surface of this planet? (b) This planet may have a moon. If it has the same mass of Earth what...
If the mass of the Earth increased without any change in its radius your weight would increase decrease stay the same The value of acceleration due to gravity. O depends on the radius of Earth O depends on the mass of the Earth B. O depends on the universal gravitational constant, G o is different on different planets all of the above Which is true: the gravitational potential energy of an object in Earth's orbit depends on the radius of...
(6 (You must show all your work). The force due to gravity on an object with mass m at a height h above the surface of the earth is _mg R F = (R+h) where is R the radius of the earth and g is the acceleration due to gravity. (a) (8 points). Express F as a series in powers of h/R. (b) (8 points). Observe that if we approximate F by the first term in the series, we get...
A raindrop of mass 4.0 mg and radius 2.0 mm has acquired an electric charge of 15x10^-15 C. The raindrop is located at the bottom of a cloud that is 500 m above the surface of the earth where the electric potential is -10^9 V with respect to the ground. What is the ratio of the electric potential energy of the raindrop compared to the gravitational potential energy? ANS: -7.7x10^-4 I just don't know how to solve the problem.
The asteroid Toro has a radius of about 5.00m.Part AAssuming that the density of Toro is the same as that of the earth (5.50 g/cm^s ), find its total mass.Part BFind the acceleration due to gravity at its surface.Part CSuppose an object is to be placed in a circular orbit around Toro, with a radius just slightly larger than the asteroid's radius. What is the speed of theobject?For part A I tried finding the volume of the asteroid and I...
Assuming that a day is exactly 24 hours long (and neglecting the motion of the Earth around the Sun, which adds a small correctionto this): (a) What is the angular velocity of an object resting on the surface of the Earth, as seen from a true inertial (non-spinning) frame? (Give your answer in rad/s. You’ll want to use scientific notation here.) (b) The radius of the Earth is approximately 6.37×106m. What is the centripetal acceleration of an object rest-ing on...

really appreciate it.
meteorite that was once thought to contain fossils of ancient lite on Mars. Meteorites from Mars are thought to get to Earth by being blasted off the Martian surface when a large object (such as an asteroid or a comet) crashes into the planet. What speed must a rock have to...
An astronaut has a pendulum made of 1.00 m long string and attached mass, which they let oscillate on Earth. They take their pendulum to an unknown planet with radius 71.5 x 10^3 km where the period of oscillation is 1.59 times shorter. a) What is the frequency and period of oscillation of the pendulum on Earth? b) What is the frequency and period of oscillation of the pendulum on unknown planet? c) What is the gravitational acceleration of the...
