You have probably noticed that the lower the tire pressure, the larger the contact area between the tire and the road. Why?
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?
A 950-kg cylindrical can buoy floats vertically in seawater. The diameter of the buoy is 0.900 m. Calculate the additional distance the buoy will sink when an 80.0-kg man stands on top of it.
A typical adult human has a mass of about . (a) What force does a full moon exert on such a human when directly overhead with its centre away? (b) Compare this force with the pressure exerted on the human by the earth.
