Given two vectorsand, (a) find the magnitude of each vector; (b) use unit vectors to write an expression for the vector difference; and (c) find the magnitude of the vector difference. Is this the same as the magnitude of? Explain.
Hot Jupiters. In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star (hence the term 鈥渉ot Jupiter鈥). The orbit was just the distance of Mercury from our sun, and it takes the planet onlydays to make one orbit (assumed to be circular). (a) What is the mass of the star? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun鈥檚 mass. (b) How fast (in km>s) is this planet moving?
You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling,which is 3.60 m above the point where the putty leaves your hand.The initial speed of the putty as it leaves your hand is 9.50 m/s.
(a) What is the speed of the putty just before it strikes the ceiling?
(b) How much time from when it leaves your hand does it take theputty to reach the ceiling?
For a spherical planet with mass , volume , and radius ,derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at the planet鈥檚 surface, , in terms of the average density of the planet, , and the planet鈥檚 diameter, . The table gives the values of and for the eight major planets:

(a) Treat the planets as spheres. Your equation for as a function of
and
shows that if the average density of the planets is constant, a graph of
versus
will be well represented by a straight line. Graph
as a function of
for the eight major planets. What does the graph tell you about the variation in average density? (b) Calculate the average density for each major planet. List the planets in order of decreasing density, and give the calculated average density of each. (c) The earth is not a uniform sphere and has greater density near its center. It is reasonable to assume this might be true for the other planets. Discuss the effect this nonuniformity has on your analysis. (d) If Saturn had the same average density as the earth, what would be the value of
at Saturn鈥檚 surface?
