The Sun’s mass is 2.01030kg , its radius is 7.0105km , and it has a rotational period of approximately 28 days. If the Sun should collapse into a white dwarf of radius 3.5103km , what would its period be if no mass were ejected and a sphere of uniform density can model the Sun both before and after?
Show that the areal velocity for a circular orbit of radius r about a mass M is At=12GMr . Does your expression give the correct value for Earth’s areal vilocity about the Sun?
Check Your Understanding Why not use the simpler expression U=mg(y2y1) ? How significant would the error be? (Recall the previous result, in Example 13.4, that the value g at 400 km above the Earth is 8.67m/s2 .)
On a planet whose radius is 1.2107m , the acceleration due to gravity is 18m/s2 . What is the mass of the planet?
(a) What is the approximate force of gravity on a 70kg person due to the Andromeda galaxy, assuming its total mass is 1013 than of our Sun and acts like a single mass 2 Mly away? (b) What is the ratio of this force to the person's weight? Note that Andromeda is the closest large galaxy.
Find the Hohmann transfer velocities, vEllipseEarth and vEllipseMars ,needed for a trip to Mars. Use Equation 13.7 to find the circular orbital velocities for Earth and Mars. Using Equation 13.4 and the total energy of the ellips (with semi-major asix a), given by E=GmMs2a , find the velocities at Earth (perihelion) and at Mars (aphelion) required to be on the transfer ellipse. The difference, v , at each point is the velocity boost or transfer velocity needed.
Check Your Understanding Galaxies are not single objects. How does the gravitiational force of one galaxy exerted on the “closer” stars of the other galaxy compare to those farther away? What effect would this have on the shape of the galaxies themselves?
Calculate the effective gravitational field vector g at Earths surface at the poles and the equator. Take account of the difference in the equatorial (6378 km) and polar (6357 km) radius as well as the centrifugal force. How well does the result agree with the difference calculated with the result g = 9.780356[1 + 0.0052885 sin 2 0.0000059 sin2(2)]m/s2 where is the latitude?
Check Your Understanding Consider the density required to make Earth a black hole compared to that required for the Sun. What conclusion can you draw from this comparison abut what would be required to create a black hole? Would you expect the Universe to have many black holes with small mass?
Compute directly the gravitational force on a unit mass at a point exterior to a homogeneous sphere of matter.
Show that for eccentricity equal to one in Equation 13.10 for conic sections, the path is a parabola. Do this by substituting Cartersian coordinates, x and y, for the polar coordinates, r and , and showing that it has the general form for a parabola, x=ay2+by+c .
