A rocket has a weight of 263,000 Ibs on earth. If the rocket is on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is gm 5.30 m/sec2, determine its weight and mass on the moon in SI units.
4. Mass of Saturn V rocket used during the Apollo 11 mission was 2,380 metric ton (without fuel) on Earth. (a) What is the mass of Saturn V in USCS dimensions of slugs and lbm? (b) After separation from different stages of rocket, the mass of the Lunar Module was 15,103 kg before it landed on moon. What will be its weight in lbf. once it has landed on moon? The gravitational acceleration on the surface of moon is 5.33...
If the density of water on earth is 1.938 slugs/ft^3, what would its specific weight be on a planet with an acceleration of gravity of 5.2 ft/sec^2?
A hypothetical planet has a radius 1.2 times that of Earth, but has the same mass. 1.)What is the acceleration due to gravity near its surface? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
2.17. A poundal is the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 lba at a rate of 1 fus, and a slug is the mass of an object that will accelerate at a rate of 1 fus2 when subjected to a force of 1 lb (a) Calculate the mass in slugs and the weight in poundals of a 135 Ibm woman ) on earth and (i)on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is one-sixth of its value on...
Mass of the Sun is 1.99 × × 1030 kg, mass of the Earth is 5.98 × × 1024 kg, mass of the Moon is 7.35 × × 1022 kg. Orbit radius of the Earth is 1.50 × × 1011 m, orbit radius of the Moon is 3.84 × × 108 m. 1) Determine the magnitude of the net force of gravity acting on the Moon during an eclipse when it is directly between Earth and the Sun. (Express your...
A pendulum has a period of 1.73 s on Earth.Part A What is its period on Mars, where the acceleration of gravity is about 0.37 that on Earth? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A rocket accelerates by burning its onboard fuel, so its mass decreases with time. Suppose the initial mass of the rocket at liftoff (including its fuel) is m, the fuel is consumed at rate r, and the exhaust gases are ejected with constant velocity ve (relative to the rocket). A model for the velocity of the rocket at time t is given by the equation m- rt where g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is not too...
In his 1865 science fiction novel From the Earth to the Moon, Jules Verne described how three astronauts are shot to the Moon by means of a huge gun. According to Verne, the aluminum capsule containing the astronauts is accelerated by ignition of nitrocellulose to a speed of 11 km/s along the gun barrel's length of 220 m. (a) In g units, what is the average acceleration of the capsule and astronauts in the gun barrel? (b) Is that acceleration...
