It turns out that the Earth is actually flat. Our flat Earth is well approximated by a disk of radius R = 6378 km and total mass m = 5.972×1024 kg, uniformly distributed across the disk. Assume that "Earth" is held fixed at the origin of an inertial coordinate frame such that it lies in the x-y plane. A 100 kg spacecraft is dropped from an initial z position of z0 = 10, 000 km above the exact centerline of the Earth (x0 = y0 = 0 km), as shown in the figure below Determine: The acceleration vector of the spacecraft at the moment it is dropped. The velocity vector of the spacecraft when it is at a distance of 1, 000 km above the Earth's surface. Since both quantities are vectors, you must justify both their magnitudes and directions. Assume G = 6.67×10−11 Nm2/kg2

A spacecraft is on a journey to the moon. At what point, as measured from the center of the earth, does the gravitational force exerted on the spacecraft by the earth balance that exerted by the moon? This point lies on a line between the centers of the earth and the moon. The distance between the earth and the moon is 3.85×108 m, and the mass of the earth is 81.4 times as great as that of the moon. Number Units

A box is on a rough surface that is inclined at an angle of 30.0∘ to the horizontal. A mass, m1 = 0.270 kg, is attached to a hanging mass of m2 = 105 g over an ideal pulley. a. Draw two free-body diagrams, one for each mass, showing all forces acting on them and chosen direction of motion. b. What is the value of μ that allows the block to slide down the incline at constant speed? Blank 1 c. The incline is then greased to remove the friction and the masses released again from rest. Find the tension in the string, in Newtons, Blank 2 and the acceleration of the box, in m/s2. Blank 3 d. How long, in seconds, does it take the box to slide a distance of 1.40 m along the incline? Blank 4 For this problem, SHOW ALL WORK including a free-body diagram of forces on each mass shown in the drawing below. The direction of accelerations should be clearly indicated on the sketch. Show all equations used before entering numbers. This problem should be well-structured. DO NOT ENTER UNITS WITH ANSWERS.
