Moon effect. some people believe that the moon controls their activities. if the moon moves from being directly on the opposite side of earth from you to being directly overhead, by what percentage does (a) the moon's gravitational pull on you increase and (b) your weight (as measured on a scale) decrease? assume that the earth–moon (center-to-center) distance is 3.82 × 10^8 m, earth's radius is 6.37 × 10^6 m, moon's mass is 7.36 × 10^22 kg, and earth's mass is 5.98 × 10^24 kg.

The astronauts on the space shuttle flights experienced an acceleration of 29 m/s2 (about 3 "g's") during lift-off. what upward force must the astronaut's seat apply to the astronaut in order to cause this acceleration? assume the astronaut's mass is 70 kg, and compute this force when the acceleration is near the earth's surface so their weight equals latex: mg m g .

Suppose that a cylindrical tank 6 meters high with a radius of 2 meters is filled to the rim with water. the tank is buried so that the top of the tank is 1 meter below ground level. the space above the tank is not filled with water. calculate how much work needs to be done by a pump to pump the water out of the tank up to ground level. (the water weighs 9,800 newtons per cubic meter.)
