Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury鈥檚 orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury鈥檚 precession has been explained by general relativity.)
A certain fuel-efficient hybrid car gets gasoline mileage of 55.0 mpg (miles per gallon). (a) If you are driving this car in Europe and want to compare its mileage with that of other European cars, express this mileage in km/L (1L = liter). Use the conversion factors in Appendix E. (b) If this car鈥檚 gas tank holds 45 L, how many tanks of gas will you use to drive 1500 km?
A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth鈥檚 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鈥檚 surface. Your expression should involve h,, and(the earth鈥檚 mass).
The acceleration of a particle is given by . (a) Find the initial velocitysuch that the particle will have the same x-coordinate atas it had at. (b) What will be the velocity at?
In describing the size of a large ship, one uses such expressions as 鈥渋t displaces 20,000 tons.鈥 What does this mean? Can the weight of the ship be obtained from this information?
