In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.
A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth’s surface. This height is not necessarily small compared with the radiusof the earth. Ignoring air resistance, derive an expression for the speed v of the hammer when it reaches the earth’s surface. Your expression should involve h,, and(the earth’s mass).
How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 1.00 ft in vacuum? (This result is a useful quantity to remember.)?
You hold a hose at waist height and spray water horizontally with it. The hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.80 cm, and the water splashes on the ground a distance of 0.950 cm horizontally from the nozzle. If you constrict the nozzle to a diameter of 0.750 cm, how far from the nozzle, horizontally, will the water travel before it hits the ground? (Ignore air resistance.)
Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun but have a much smaller diameter. If you weigh on the earth, what would you weigh at the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of ?
