In Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth. A better expression for the rockets position measured from the center of the Earth is given by y(t)=(R3/2+3g2Rt)2/3j where R is the radius of the Earth (6.38 106 m) and g is the constant acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earths surface (9.81 m/s2). a. Derive expressions for vy(t) and ay(t). b. Plot y(t), vy(t), and ay(t). (A spreadsheet program would be helpful.) c. When will the rocket be at y=4R? d. What are vy and ay when y=4R?
Two books are on a shelf 1.3 m from one another. Book A has a mass of 2.2 kg. Book B hasa mass of 1.7 kg. An absentminded student picks up book A to see if it is useful for his re-search paper. He decides not to use the book and sets it on a shelf 1.8 m from book B.What effect does this have on the gravitational force between the books?AThe gravitational force remains the same because the masses of the books remainconstant.BThe gravitational force decreases because the distance between the books increases.The gravitational force increases because the distance between the books increases.DThe gravitational force remains the same because distance does not affect gravity for small objects
Asteroid Toutatis passed near Earth in 2012 at eighteen times the distance to our Moon. The asteroid's mass is 5.0 x 1013 kg. (Enter the magnitudes.) (a) What was the acceleration (in m/s?) of Earth due to asteroid Toutatis at its closest approach in 2012? ]m/s² (b) What was the acceleration (in m/s?) of Toutatis due to Earth at this point in 2012? m/s?
Temba is standing in the lunch line 6.4 x 106 m from the center of Earth. Earth’s mass is 6 x 1024 kg. a) What is the acceleration due to gravity? b) When Temba eats his lunch and his mass increases, does this change the acceleration due to gravity?
A 2.0 kg rock is thrown horizontally from the top of a 100-meter-high cliff on Planet Unicorn with a speedof 15 m/s. The mass of Planet Unicorn is 1x1025 kg and the top of the cliff is approximately 4000 kmfrom the center of the planet.a) What is the value of the acceleration due to gravity on Unicorn in m/s2 ? b) How far from the base of the cliff does the rock land? A force of 40.0 N is required to pull the same rock at a constant velocity across a smooth glasssurface on Earth. What force would be required to perform the same experiment on PlanetUnicorn?
A stalactite in a cave has drops of waterfalling from it to the cave floor below. The drops are equallyspaced in time and come in rapid succession, so that at any givenmoment there are many drops in midair. (a) Is the center of massof the midair drops higher than, lower than, or equal to the halfway distance between the tip of the stalactite and the cave floor?(b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:I. The drops bunch up as they near the floor of the cave.II. The drops are equally spaced as they fall, since they are released at equal times.III. Though equally spaced in time, the drops are closer togetherhigher up
On the way from a planet to a moon, astro- nauts reach a point where that moon's grav- itational pull transitions from being weaker than that of the planet to being stronger than that of the planet. The masses of the planet and the moon are, respectively, 6.09 × 1024 kg and 7.36 x 1022 kg. The distance from the center of the planet to the center of the moon is 3.3 x 108 m. Determine the distance of this point from the center of the planet. The value of the universal gravitational constant is 6.67259 × 10-11 N-m²/kg². Answer in units of m.
Why is the earth only approximately an inertial reference frame?
A 270-kg object and a 570-kg object are separated by 3.40 m. (a) Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted by these objects on a 64.0-kg object placed midway between them. (b) At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 64.0-kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero from the other two objects? m from the 570 kg mass toward the 270 kg mass
CoM = Centre of Mass Magn = Magnitude let us say that we have a circle shaped ring (like those rings from basketball) with a radius (R) and with its own mass (M). let us say that there is a string that is tied to this ring and that the string would be tied to a fixed ceiling. the ring is then released from its rest and drops down. FIND: a) da tension in the string b) lets find the Magn of of the acceleration of the CoM c) also pls find the speed of the CoM after the ring fell thru a distance of L
A space shuttle in orbit around the Earth carries its payloadwith its mechanical arm. Suddenly, the arm malfunctions andreleases the payload. What will happen to the payload?(a) It will fall straight down and hit the Earth.(b) It will follow a curved path and eventually hit the Earth.(c) It will remain in the same orbit with the shuttle.(d) It will drift out into deep space.
Evil extraterrestrials crash the moon into Earth. As a result Earth gains 10% mass and moves 10% away from the Sun. What is the ratio of Gravitational force of Earth – Sun System before and after extraterrestrial’s atrocity?
