The International Space Station (ISS) orbits the Earth at an altitude of 4.15 x 10^5 meters and has a mass of 4.2 x 10^5 kg. What is the gravitational force of the ISS on an object with a mass of 1.35 x 10^4 kg when it is on the opposite side of the earth away from the ISS.

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?
