Answer in units of m/s2 016 10.0 points How close would another Earth have to be to our Earth (center-to-center distance) so that you would weigh half of your current weight? Neglect rotation. (In the gure, FE 1 is the gravitational force due to the Earth you are standing on, FE 2 is the gravitational force due to the other Earth. The condition of the problem is that your weight, i.e. normal force of the ground, is given by W = 1/2FE 1 .)

Answer in units of N 022 10.0 points A group of students try to predict the Earths orbit around the Sun by calculating the force on the Earth due to the Sun, multiplying this force by a time step of three months, then adding this impulse to a known initial momentum: pf = pi + Fgrav t. They then use pf to update the Earths position uspf ing a known initial position: rf = ri + t . ME Why are their results not accurate? ME v 2 I. They needed to use = Fgrav . r II. They did not use enough signicant gures. III. They neglected air resistance. IV. They assumed the force on the Earth was constant in magnitude and direction over three months. V.
