Proper Length

The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.

Figure P7.45 shows a picture of American astronaut Clay Anderson experiencing weightlessness on board the International Space Station. a. Most people have the misconception that a person in a spacecraft is weightless because he or she is no longer affected by gravity. Show that this premise cannot be true by computing the gravitational field of the Earth at an altitude of 200 km the typical altitude of a spacecraft in orbit. Compare this result with the gravitational field on the surface of the Earth. b. Why would astronauts in orbit experience weightlessness even if they are experiencing a gravitational field (and therefore a gravitational force)?
Three billiard balls, the two-ball, the four-ball, and the eight-ball, are arranged on a pool table as shown in Figure P7.26. Given the coordinate system shown and that the mass of each ball is 0.150 kg, determine the gravitational field at x=2m, y=0.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), with mass m = 1850 kg, maps the surface of the Moon from an orbital altitude of 50.0 km. What are the magnitude and direction of a. the force the LRO experiences due to the Moons gravity and b. the force exerted by the LRO on the Moon?

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) Show that tidal force on a small object of mass m, defined as the difference in the gravitational force that would be exerted on m at a distance at the near and the far side of the object, due to the gravitational at a distance R from M, is given by Ftidal=2GMmR3r where r is the distance between the near and far side and rR .(b) Assume you are fallijng feet first into the black hole at the center of our galaxy. It has mass of 4 million solar masses. What would be the difference between the force at your head and your feet at the Schwarzschild radius (event horizon)? Assume your feet and head each have mass 5.0 kg and are 2.0 m apart. Would you survive passing through the event horizon?
