(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Mars on a 80 kg human standing on the surface of Mars. (The ma
ss of Mars is 6.4multiply1023 kg and its radius is 3.4multiply106 m.) (b) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the human on Mars.
(c) For comparison, calculate the approximate magnitude of the gravitational force of this human on a similar human who is standing 4 meters away.
(d) What approximations or simplifying assumptions must you make in these calculations? (Note: Some of these choices are false because they are wrong physics!)
-Use the same gravitational constant in (a) and (b) despite its dependence on the size of the masses.
-Treat Mars as though it were spherically symmetric.
-Treat the humans as though they were points or uniform-density spheres.
-Ignore the effects of the Sun, which alters the gravitational force that one object exerts on another.
d) Treat the humans as though they were points or uniform-density spheres.
Explanation:
Given:
mass of Mars,
radius of the Mars,
mass of human,
a)
Gravitation force exerted by the Mars on the human body:
where:
= gravitational constant
b)
The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the human on Mars is equal to the force by the Mars on human.
c)
When a similar person of the same mass is standing at a distance of 4 meters:
d)
The gravitational constant is a universal value and it remains constant in the Universe and does not depends on the size of the mass.
Yes, we have to treat Mars as spherically symmetric so that its center of mass is at its geometric center.
Yes, we also have to ignore the effect of sun, but as asked in the question we have to calculate the gravitational force only due to one body on another specific body which does not brings sun into picture of the consideration.
The first harmonic would be the smallest frequency for a string to produce a standing wave. In addition, the strings were fixed in a single attachment and have only limited motion. It is because standing waves require a specific medium for the sound to travel in it.

You can't tell without knowing the values of the resistors. Whichever resistor has less resistance (less ohms) will have more current flowing through it.
