How do we know that there is much more mass in the halo of our galaxy than in the disk?

A) There are so many globular clusters in the halo that their total mass is greater than the mass of stars in the disk. B) Stars and gas clouds in the outskirts of the Milky Way orbit the galaxy at much higher speeds than we would expect if all the mass were concentrated in the disk. C) We have discovered that the halo is filled with an enormous number of brown dwarfs that have a combined mass much greater than the disk. D) Laboratory experiments have proven that the halo must be full of subatomic dark matter particles.

Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 on the surface of Earth, and at orbits 200 miles above the surface of Earth, where the space shuttle orbits, the acceleration is

A. less than 9.8 m/s2. B. greater than 9.8 m/s2. C. exactly 9.8 m/s2-same as on the surface of Earth. D. undetermined, because it depends on the mass of the spacecraft or satellite.

In order to train for a high-g environment, an astronaut is placed in a centrifuge of radius several meters and rotated in a horizontal circle at constant speed. In this situation, in which direction is the net force on the astronaut?

a. The net force is down since gravity cannot be turned off. b. The net force is horizontal toward the center of the circle. c. The net force is between horizontal toward the center of the circle and straight up, the angle depending on the speed and the radius involved. d. The net force is zero since the astronaut is moving at constant speed and thus the force has no direction.
