Concept explainers

Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

Weight is mass times the acceleration of gravity. If an individual weighs 158 pounds on Earth, how much will they weigh on Jupiter? Assume the acceleration of gravity on Jupiter is 2.66 times the acceleration of gravity on Earth.
Weight refers to the force of gravity acting on a mass. We often calculate the weight of an object by multiplying its mass by the local acceleration due to gravity. The value of gravitational acceleration on the surface of Mars is 0.38 times that on Earth. Assume your mass is 81.00 kg. Then your weight on Earth is 793.80 newtons (793.80 N = m × g = 81.00 kg × 9.8 m/s2). What would be your mass on Mars? kg What would be your weight on Mars? N
Newton's Law of Gravitation says that the magnitude F of the force exerted by a body of mass m on a body of mass M is GmM F= where G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the bodies. (a) Find dF/dr. dF dr = What is the meaning of dF/dr? O dF/dr represents the amount of force per distance. O dF/dr represents the rate of change of the mass with respect to the distance between the bodies. O dF/dr represents the rate of change of the distance between the bodies with respect to the force. O dF/dr represents the rate of change of the mass with respect to the force. O dF/dr represents the rate of change of the force with respect to the distance between the bodies. What does the minus sign indicate? O The minus sign indicates that the force between the bodies is decreasing.

A person weighs 687.88 newtons when she is on earth but only weigh 249.42 newtons when she is at the surface of another planet. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet? Answer:
On the Moon, astronauts experienced gravity which is less than they had known on Earth. Moon's mass is 0.012 (0.12 percent) of Earth's mass, and its radius is 0.27 times Earth's (27%). Therefore gravity on the Moon is only 0.16 or 16% of Earth's gravity. A falling object on the Moon accelerates at about 1.6 m/s2. If the Earth only had Moon's mass and still had its present size, how fast would a falling body on Earth accelerate? a. 82 m/s2 b. 0.12 m/s2 c. 1.6 m/s2 d. 9.8 m/s2
