The mass of a moon is MM and the mass of the planet it orbits is Mp. The distance between the center of the moon and the center of the planet is R. What would happen to the gravitational force between the moon and the planet if the moon's mass was doubled and the distance between their centers was halved?
Ex. 13 : The mean radius of earth is 6400 km. The acceleration due to gravity at its surface is 9.8 m/s?. Estimate the mass of earth.
Rick is an Aerospace Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsions Laboratory (JPL), and is designing the next mission to Pluto called “New Horizons 2: The Sequel". This time Rick plans to study Pluto's largest moon Charon. Charon has a mass of 1.586 ×1021 kg and a mean radius of 606 km, and might have a nitrogenous atmosphere (N2) just like Pluto. If, for a massive object to have an atmosphere its escape speed must be 12 times greater than the root-mean- square (rms) velocity of the gas (otherwise the gas will slowly leak away over time), what is the maximum temperature that Charon can have and still have a nitrogenous atmosphere? [Charon has a temperature of -281 °C = 55 K, day or night.]
Part A Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 2.1×104 m/s when at a distance of 2.6x1011 m from the center of the sun, what is its speed when at a distance of 4.0×1010 m. Express your answer in meters per second. Πνα ΑΣΦ m/s
The escape velocity from the surface of planet A is 5700 m/s. Planet B has the same density but the radius is 1/3 that of planet What is the escape velocity from the surface of planet B in m/s?
Given the fact that water has less mass per cubic meter than soil and rock , would you expect the value of g to be smaller or larger than average over a lake?
The moon has a mass of 7.34 X 1022 kg and a radius of 1.74 X 10° meters. If you have a mass of 66 kg, how strong is the force between you and the moon? 2.
Newtons version of Kepler's third law is P2=4pi2/(G(M1+M2)) x a3. Since the square of the period P varies inversely with the Sum of the masses (M1+M2), the period itself depends on the inverse square root of the object masses.
