Consider a space shuttle which has a mass of about 1.0 x 105 kg and circles the Earth at an altitude of about 200,000 m. Calculate the force of gravity that the space shuttle experiences. The mass of the earth is 5.972 × 1024 kg.

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?
