Mithra is an unknown planet that has two airless moons, A and B, in circular orbits around it. The table summarizes the hypothetical data about these moons. If you dropped a laser at the surface of Moon B, at what rate would it accelerate toward the ground? ( G = 6.67 × 10 -11 N ∙ m 2/kg 2)
The rate at which the laser dropped on surface of moon B accelerates is the acceleration due to gravity on the
surface of moon B.

Planet Minerva has a mass of 4.0 x1023 kg and a radius of 2.0 x106 m. With what kinetic energy should a 10 kg space probe be launched vertically from the surface of Minerva in order to achieve a maximum distance 4.0 x106m from the Minerva ‘s center? 5.3 or 6.7 or 8.0 or 9.2
1. A moon of mass \(m\) orbits around a non-rotating planet of mass \(M\) with orbital angular velocity \(\Omega\). The moon also rotates about its own axis with angular velocity \(\omega\). The axis of rotation of the moon is perpendicular to the plane of the orbit. Let \(I\) be the moment of inertia of the moon about its own axis. You can assume \(m<<M\)so that the center ofmass of the system is at the center of the planet.(a) What is...
1. The moon orbits the earth at a distance of 3.85 times 10^8 m. Assume that this distance is between the centers of the earth and the moon and that the mass of the earth is 5.98 x 10^24 kg. Find the period for the moon's motion around the earth. Express the answer in days. 2. A 0.0296 kg ball is shot from the plunger of a pinball machine. Because of a centripetal force of 0.0485 N, the ball follows...
As shown below, a block of mass m = 4 kg is sitting on the frictionless floor of a train car. and it is connected to the right wall of the train car by a string. The train is moving in a straight line to the right, and it is accelerating at a constant rate a = 5 m/s^2. At the particular moment when the speed of the train is v = 15 m/s, what is the tension in the...
