In the year 2121, world travelers will be able to book a
trip on Carnival’s Interplanetary Cruise Ship. On its popular Blaze
route, passengers can book shore excursions to go rock climbing on
the recently discovered planet Vulcan or take an ATV tour around
the caldera of Maat Mons on Venus.
Q1) With only 10% of Earth’s mass and 50% of Earth’s
radius, Vulcan’s surface gravity is a bit weaker than Earth’s. If a
traveler weighs 667 N (150 lbs) on Earth, what will they weigh on
Vulcan?
A. 270 N C. 510 N B. 390 N D. 630 N
Q2) One of the highlights of rock climbing on Vulcan is
taking a series of ziplines to get back to base after scaling a
crater wall. One of these ziplines is 100m long with a 30 m drop.
How long will it take a 68 kg person to reach the bottom of this
zipline after starting from rest at the top?
Q3) While the cruise ship is docked on Vulcan, a
passenger decides to grab a bite to eat in the ship’s dining room
when they notice that a grandfather clock at the corner of the room
seems to be moving in slow motion. If its pendulum swings with a
period of 1 s on Earth, what is its period on Vulcan?
A. 0.63 s C. 1.58 s B. 1.25 s D. 2.50 s
