An exoplanet of mass 1.36x10^26 kg is orbiting a star of mass 3.2x10^31 kg at a distance of 1 AU. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two?

We use Newtons equation for gravitational force. F=GMm/r2 .1 AU is the mean distance at which the Earth orbits the Sun, taken to be: 1.49x1011 m.Substituting in the numbers we find t...

A bomb of mass 34kg, at rest is detonated. The explosion splits the bomb into two pieces, one of mass 13kg, which is thrown to the left at a velocity of 28 m/s. What is the velocity of the second piece?

In a collision where no external forces act linear momentum is conserved.Convention: Right + left -0=-13x28 + 21xVV=17.33 kg m/s to the right

You have a five-litres jug, a three-litres jug, and unlimited supply of water. How would you come up with exactly four litres of water (with no measuring cup)?

You fill the 5-litres jug, and pour it into the 3-litres jug until it's full (now you have 2 litres in the 5-litres jug). Then, you pour out the 3-litres jug completely. Now, you pour the 2 litres from th...

Given an unlimited number of light bulbs (that break at a certain height), and a building with 100 floors, how do you determine the height that the light bulb breaks?

The solution is a binary search algorithm (where you start on floor 50th and move up or down depending if the bulb breaks or not, always picking the middle floor of your option range).
