A2 1. 2. A 65.0 kg astronaut is walking on the surface of the Moon, which has a mean radius of 1.74 x 103 km and a mass of 7.35 x 1022 kg. What is the weight of the astronaut? In an experiment, an 8.0 kg lead sphere is brought close to a 1.5 kg mass. The gravitational force between the two objects is 1.28 x 10'8 N. How far apart are the centres of the objects? The radius of the planet Uranus is 4.3 times the radius of Earth. The mass of Uranus is 14.7 times the mass of Earth. How does the gravitational force on the surface of Uranus compared to that on Earth? Eris, a dwarf planet, is the ninth most massive body orbiting the Sun. It is more massive than Pluto and three times farther away from the Sun. Eris is estimated to have a radius of approximately 1200 km. a. Suppose that an astronaut stands on Eris and drops a rock from a height of 0.30 m. The rock takes 0.87 s to reach the surface. Calculate the value of g on Eris. b. Calculate the mass of Eris.
