If you take a boat from earth and put it on a planet with twice earth’s gravity, what would

happen if you tried to float it in water? Hint: Think about the buoyancy force formula. (5

points)

2. You drop a cube of mass 1 kg into a cup of water. It sinks with an acceleration of 2

m/s^2.

a. What is the buoyancy force of the water? (4 points)

b. What is the density of the water if the volume of the cube is 30 cm^3 (4 points)

On this “Living Planet” that we call Earth, there are lots of interesting events that take place. These events are around us, which we see or do or experience regularly. At some point in time, your curiosity would have pushed you to ask questions about what’s going on? How does that happen? Well, leaving miracles apart, the answer to all these questions is “Physics.” In fact, Physics governs our everyday lives in one way or the other. A camera is...

The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (the figure (Figure 1)). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the departure planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it...
