3. a lunar exploration vehicle was created by a research team. it weighs 3,000 kg on the earth. it needs an acceleration of 10 m/s2 on the moon. in order to have the same acceleration, what will be the net force acting on the vehicle on the earth?

Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a fixed sphere of radius r. if the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it begins to slide down, through what vertical height will it descend before it leaves the surface of the sphere? [hint: use conservation of energy to find the puck's speed as a func e conservation of energy to find the puck's speed as a function of its height at what value of this normal force does the puck leave the sphere? ] here on the puck.
