(a) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun. (b) By what factor would your weight increase if you could stand on the Sun? (Never mind that you cannot.)
When a star dies, much of its mass may collapse into a single point known as a black hole. The gravitational force of a black hole on surrounding astronomical objects can be very great. Astronomers estimate the strength of this force by observing the orbits of such objects around a black hole. What is the gravitational force exerted by a black hole on a 1-solar-mass star whose orbit has a 1.4 1010 m radius and a period of 5.6 days?
(a) Calculate Earth's mass given the acceleration due to gravity at the North Pole is 9.830 m/s2 and the radius of the Earth is 6371 km from center to pole. (b) Compare this with the accepted value of 5.9791024 kg.
Unreasonable Results (a) Based on Kepler's laws and information on the orbital characteristics of the Moon, calculate the orbital radius for an Earth satellite having a period of 1.00 h. (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) What is unreasonable or inconsistent about the premise of a 1.00 h orbit?
(a) What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon? (b) On the surface of Mars? The mass of Mars is 6.4181023 kg and its radius is 3.38106 m.
Unreasonable Result A mountain 10.0 km from a person exerts a gravitational force on him equal to 2.00% of his weight. (a) Calculate the mass of the mountain. (b) Compare the mountain's mass with that of Earth. (c) What is unreasonable about these results? (d) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent? (Note that accurate gravitational measurements can easily detect the effect of nearby mountains and variations in local geology.)
Imagine that nitrogen and other atmospheric gases were more soluble in water so that the atmosphere of the Earth is entirely absorbed by the oceans. Atmospheric pressure would then be zero, and outer space would start at the planets surface. Would the Earth then have a gravitational field? (a) Yes, and at the surface it would be larger in magnitude than 9.8 N/kg. (b) Yes, and it would be essentially the same as the current value. (c) Yes, and it would be somewhat less than 9.8 N/kg. (d) Yes, and it would be much less than 9.8 N/kg. (e) No, it would not.
A number of amusement parks have rides that make loops like the one shown in Figure 6.33. For safety, the cars are attached to the rails in such a way cannot fall off. If the car goes over the top at just the right speed, gravity alone will supply the centripetal force. What other force acts and what is its direction if: (a) The car goes over the top at faster than this speed? (b) The car goes this speed? Figure 6.33 Amusement rides with a vertical loop are an example of a form of curved motion.
Two identical isolated particles, each of mass 2.00 kg, are separated by a distance of 30.0 cm. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by one particle on the other?
Suppose an alien civilization has a space station in circular orbit around its home planet. The stations orbital radius is twice the planets radius, (a) If an alien astronaut has weight w just before launch from the surface, will she be weightless when she reaches the station and floats inside of it? (b) If not, what will be the ratio of her weight in orbit to her weight on the planets surface?
