The weight of spaceman Speff at the surface of planet X, solely due to its gravitational pull, is 389 N. If he moves to a distance of 1.86 * 10^4 km above the planet's surface, his weight changes to 24.31 N. What is the mass of planet X, if Speff's mass is 75.0-kg? (G = 6.67 * 10^-11 N8m^2/kg^2)

If you weigh 650 N on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our Sun and a diameter of 16.0 km? Take the mass of the sun to be 

ms = 1.99×1030 kg, the gravitational constant to be G = 6.67×10−11 N⋅m2/kg2, and the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface to be g = 9.810 m/s2.

 

13.57 - CP You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet's surface, the ship's orbital speed is 4900 m/s. By observing the planet, you determine its radius to be 4.48 X 100 m. You then land on the surface and, at a place where the ground is level, launch a small projectile with initial speed 12.6 m/s at an angle of 30.8° above the horizontal. If resistance due to the planet's atmo- sphere is negligible, what is the horizontal range of the projectile?
