At some point in the trip to the Moon, the Apollo astronauts would have been 34 Earth radii above the surface of the Earth, and so 34 +1 Earth radii from the center of the Earth. Suppose one of the astronauts had an Earth-weight of 850 N.
What would his weight now be at that altitude?

Trip to the moon
You plan to take a trip to the moon. Since you do not have a traditional spaceship with rockets, you will need to leave the earth with enough speed to make it to themoon. Some information that will help during this problem:mearth = 5.9742 x 1024 kgrearth = 6.3781 x 106 mmmoon = 7.36 x 1022 kgrmoon = 1.7374 x 106 mdearth to moon = 3.844 x 108 m (center to center)G = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m2/kg21)On your first attempt...

One of the challenges of spaceflight is keeping astronauts cool. The suits worn by the Apollo astronauts when they walked on the moon were heavily insulated to protect them from the lunar environment. But, that meant the suits needed some sort of cooling system to radiate away the astronauts' body heat. NASA solved this problem using a system that circulated water through pipes that lined the suit. The water was cooled by a system that allowed the water to evaporate...

In 1971 Alan Shepard and Ed Mitchell spent 33 hours on the Moon as crew members of Apollo 14. Shepard, one of the original Mercury astronauts, was 47 years old and is the oldest man to walk on the lunar surface. While on the Moon, Shepard hit two golf balls using an improvised golf club. After striking the second ball, Shepard said “miles and miles and miles”, a reference to the distance the ball travelled. Owing to the lack of...

1) Strength of the electric force The earth and the moon exert attractive gravitational forces on one another according to Newton's law of gravitation. However, since the earth and the moon are electrically neutral (that is, the net charge of each planet is zero), they do not exert electrical forces on one another. Assume now that someone (aliens) removes some number N of electrons from both the earth and the moon, so that the two bodies now exhibit electrical repulsion...

Apollo Tech Solutions Case Study Part Two The deadline for submitting proposals was 8 April 2012 and Arnott was looking forward to receiving three submissions from the consulting firms. He cleared his diary and arranged the meetings for the following two weeks. Ferguson & Co and EuroComms Solutions came back immediately with dates to present their initial proposals to him; however, ITL seemed very reluctant to agree to time. Finally, Arnott was contacted by the Senior Partner in their Strategy...

Many communication satellites are placed in a circular orbit around the Earth at a radius where the period (the time to go around the Earth once) is 24 hours. If the satellite is above some point on the equator, it stays above that point as the Earth rotates, so that as viewed from the rotating Earth the satellite appears to be motionless. That is why you see dish antennas pointing at a "fixed" point in space. (a) Calculate the radius...

[Extra point]A typical comet contains 1013 kg of water ice. How many comets would be needed to account for the 2 × 1021 kg of water presently found on our planet? If this amount of water accumulated over a period of 0.5 billion years, how frequently must Earth have been struck by comets during that time? Chapter 5 (10) Because of tidal forces, the Moon is in a synchronous orbit around Earth True False (11) Explain how the Moon produces...
