Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on a 3.70-kg baby by a 100-kg father 0.221 m away at birth (assisting so he is close). N(b) Calculate the magnitude of the force on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest to the Earth, some 6.29 1011 m away, showing it to be comparable to that of the father. The mass of Jupiter is about 1.90 1027 kg. Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.) N

Imagine that two identical containers, one filled with marbles and the other filled with Styrofoam beads, are released simultaneously from rest from the same height-s Earth's surface. (a) Which container, if either, experiences the greater gravitational force? O the container filled with marbles O the container filled with beads O Both containers will experience the same gravitational force. Justify your answer. O Since both containers fall to the ground with the same acceleration, both will experience the same gravitational force. O Gravitational force is directly proportional to mass, so the heavier container would experience the greater gravitational force. O Gravitational force is inversely proportional to mass, so the lighter container would experience the greater gravitational force. O Since the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s² for each container, both will experience the same gravitational force. (b) which container, if either, experiences the greater acceleration from…
