Serway & Jewett β Universal Gravitation: Problem 33
Assume you are agile enough to run across a horizontal surface at $8.50\text{ m/s}$, independently of the value of the gravitational field. What would be (a) the radius and (b) the mass of an airless spherical asteroid of uniform density $1.10 \times 10^3\text{ kg/m}^3$ on which you could launch yourself into orbit by running? (c) What would be your period? (d) Would your running significantly affect the rotation of the asteroid? Explain.
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) the radius and; (b) the mass of an airless spherical asteroid of uniform density; (c) What would be your period?
