On 4 October 2004, history was made when the privately funded, non-government Scaled Composites SpaceShipOne successfully flew into space twicein two weeks. Space is defined as an altitude of 100. km (100,000 m) above thesurface of the Earth. (a) Calculate the value of g, the acceleration due to gravity,100. km above the surface of the Earth.

Itwas released at h1 = 14,100 m (46,000 feet) above the Earth and climbed to analtitude of h2 = 115,200 m (377,591 feet or 71½ miles). Let’s treat this flight likea tossing a ball.

The Lima Locomotive Works Pere Marquette 2-8-4 Berkshire number 1225(really, no kidding!), considered one of the most attractive steam locomotives ofall time, was the model for the engine in the movie The Polar Express. Itweighs 443,000 lbs. (mass = 201,000 kg). (a) This engine is capable ofdelivering 4000. hp.
