5) Knowing that g = 9.8 m/s², the earth's mass is Me=5.97 X 10³ kg, and the mean radius of the earth is 6.37 X 10 m, compute G. What is the acceleration of gravity at the top of Mont Everest? h = 8000 m. M = 5.9742x1024 kg G=6.674x10 "N-m²/kg² Rg = 6378.1km 7) Superman stands on top of a very tall mountain and throws a baseball horizontally with a speed such that the baseball goes into a circular orbit around the Earth. While the baseball is in orbit, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the ball? A) It depends on how fast the baseball is thrown. B) It is zero because the ball does not fall to the ground C) It is slightly less than 9.80 m/s² D) It is equal to 9.80 m/s² E) It is slightly largergtytuh8 than 9.80 m/s²
