| Help with physics problem??
i'm having trouble calculating this problem. any help is appreciated (Note: In this problem, you should a decimal place or two throughout your calculations, to prevent possible roundoff errors accumulating.) Based on the following data about planet X: Planet X's radius = 1.5·10^6^ m Planet X's mass = 7.5·10^22^ kg a.) Find gx, the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Planet X. Answer in m/s^2^ b) What is the weight of a 10 kg ball on the surface of Planet X? Answer in N c)How long would it take for the ball to hit the ground, if it was dropped from a height of 2 m ? Answer in s d.) There is a moon in circular orbit of radius 4·10^8^ m around Planet X. How fast must the moon be going? Answer in m/s e)How long does it take for Planet X's moon to orbit once? (Your answer will come out in seconds.) Answer in s f) Based on the answer from e) how many (Earth) days is that? |
