The earth has a mass of, MEarth=6.4 X 1024 kg and a radius of REarth= 6.0 X 106meter and it has acceleration due to gravity, gE = 9.8 . One of Jupiter’s moon also has MJmoon = ½ * MEarth =3.2 x 1024 kg with a radius of, RJmoon = ½ * REarth =3.0 x 106 m and gJmoon value unknown. From the information, what is acceleration due to gravity of Jupiter’s moon, gjmoon, comparing to the earth’s acceleration due to gravity, gEarth?

While goofing off at the ice skating rink, a student takes off her shoes and places each of them on the ice. her friend, a hockey player, then shoots a hockey puck at each shoe. the first puck immediately comes to rest after it collides with the left shoe. the second puck rebounds after it collides with the right shoe. if each hockey puck has the same incoming speed, which shoe has greater speed after the collision? the right shoe. both shoes have the same speed. the left shoe.
