Exercise 22
Step 1
1 of 2
Einstein’s general theory of relativity offers us an explanation of Newton’s law of universal gravitation. Also, his theory contains the explanation of Kepler’s laws of motion of the planet around the stars. The first and second Kepler’s law defines the motion of the planet and the third law gives us a relation between the rounding period of planets and their radius.

The algorithm should look like that:Exercise scan

The algorithm is given in a explanation.
Exercise 23
Step 1
1 of 1
We already know Kepler’s first law, and it says that the planets have elliptical orbits, with the Sun at one of the focuses. We can make generalizations for space objects, like Jupiter’s moon. We can substitute the Sun with Jupiter, and the planets with the moon Io, and then we have Kepler’s first law for Io and Jupiter. It can be formalized as the Io has an elliptical orbit with Jupiter at one of the focuses of the ellipse.
Exercise 24
Step 1
1 of 2
Following Kepler’s law, the conclusion is given in a figure $7-3$, the planet moves fastest when it is close to the Sun, and slowest when it is farther from the Sun.

As the Earth moves slower during the summer, the Earth is farther from the Sun during the summer.

$$
boxed{text{The Earth is closer to the Sun during winter and farther during the summer.}}
$$

Result
2 of 2
The Earth is closer to the Sun during winter and farther during the summer.
Exercise 25
Step 1
1 of 2
Kepler’s second law states that an imaginary line from the Sun to a planet sweeps equal area in equal time intervals. But, the area that is defined by a Mars trajectory around the Sun is bigger than the area defined by the Earth trajectory.
$$
boxed{text{The areas sweep out by time interval are not the same for Mars and Earth.}}
$$
Result
2 of 2
The areas sweep out by time interval are not the same for Mars and Earth.
Exercise 26
Step 1
1 of 2
The path of the Moon around the Earth is not the circle but the eclipse. As Kepler defined that the area sweeps out in the same time intervals are equals, the motion around the Earth must be with variable speed (accelerated motion). As Newton already explains in his third law, the reason for accelerated motion must be some force. So because of that, he thought that the force must act on a Moon.
Result
2 of 2
By the Newton’s third law, the cause of accelerated motion must to be some force, so he thought that the force act on the Moon.
Exercise 27
Step 1
1 of 2
Cavendish make a experiments with a device that had horizontal road with two small lead spheres attached to each end. The rod is suspended at midpoint by a thin wire, so it could rotate. Because the rod was suspended by a thin wire, the rod and the spheres were very sensitive to horizontal forces. To measure $G$, Cavendish placed two large lead spheres in fixed positions, close to a small sphere. The force of attraction between the small and the large sphere makes the rod rotate. By measuring the angle through which the rod turned, Cavendish was able to calculate the force of attraction between the objects.
Result
2 of 2
Cavendish did the experiments by designing measuring device.
Exercise 28
Step 1
1 of 2
Newton states that force (F) is proportional to $dfrac{1}{r^{2}}$
Step 2
2 of 2
This means that if the distance is doubled, then the force is cut to 1/4th.
Exercise 29
Step 1
1 of 2
In accordance of Newton’s interpretation of Kepler’s third law, the ratio $frac{T^2}{r^3}$, where $T$ denotes the period the planet revolves around the Sun and $r$ is their distance from the Sun, will be textbf{halved} if the Sun’s mass was doubled because $frac{T^2}{r^3} = frac{4pi^2}{Gm_{s}}$ such that $m_s$ is the Sun’s mass.
In mathematical terms, given the equation
$$frac{T^2}{r^3} = frac{4pi^2}{Gm_{s}}$$
Since the mass of the Sun is doubled, $m_s = 2m_s$, thus
begin{align*}
&=frac{4pi^2}{2m_{s}cdot G}\
&=frac{1}{2}left( frac{4pi^2}{Gm_{s}} right)\
intertext{Since,}
&=frac{T^2}{r^3} = frac{4pi^2}{Gm_{s}}\
intertext{Therefore,}
&=frac{4pi^2}{2m_{s}cdot G}\
&=frac{1}{2}left( frac{4pi^2}{Gm_{s}} right)\
intertext{Since,}
&=frac{T^2}{r^3} = frac{4pi^2}{Gm_{s}}\
intertext{Therefore,}
&=boxed{frac{1}{2}left( frac{T^2}{r^3} right)}\
intertext{if the Sun’s mass is doubled.}
end{align*}
Result
2 of 2
The ratio, $frac{T^2}{r^3}$, will be $textbf{halved}$.
Exercise 30
Step 1
1 of 2
Satellite moving around its orbit is defined by two specific parameters. The first one represents the velocity that act’s with a force to satellite upward trying to increase the satellite height. The other one is a gravitation force that acts to a satellite downward and tries to pull the satellite down. When that two forces are in balance, the satellite can stay in orbit.
Result
2 of 2
Balance between the gravitational force and force provided by satellite speed, takes satellite in orbit.
Exercise 31
Step 1
1 of 2
The speed of a satellite that orbits around the Earth is defined by the equation:

$$
begin{align*}
v&=sqrt{Gcdotfrac{m_e}{r}}
end{align*}
$$

Where the $G$ represents the universal gravitational constant, $m_e$ is the mass of the Earth, and $r$ stands for the radius of the satellite orbit.

So the correct answer is:

$$
boxed{text{Mass of the Earth and distance from the Earth.}}
$$

Result
2 of 2
Mass of the Earth and distance from the Earth.
Exercise 32
Step 1
1 of 2
By Newton’s third law, every force that acts on a body has the same reaction force. So the centripetal force must have the same cause of action. As the satellite orbits around the planet, there must be a gravitational force that acts in an opposite direction.

$$
boxed{text{The gravitational force crate a reaction force that acts as a centripetal force.}}
$$

Result
2 of 2
The gravitational force crate a reaction force that acts as a centripetal force on the satellite.
Exercise 33
Step 1
1 of 2
The force of $5g$ on an astronaut’s body means that the force that acts on an astronaut’s body is $5$ times higher than a gravitational force that acts on his body on Earth. This means that the weight of the astronaut’s body is $5$ times bigger than on Earth.
Result
2 of 2
The force of $5g$ that acts on a astronaut body in space means that the force on his body is $5$ times bigger than the gravitational force on Earth.
Exercise 34
Step 1
1 of 2
Newton thought that the gravitational force between any two objects acts directly.

On the other hand, Einstein thought that based on a Galilean principle, there must be some deviation in space around big objects. So he makes a theory that the matter causes that the space to curve around the object, just like the object on the rubber sheet curve the sheet around it.

Result
2 of 2
Einstein though that the gravitation between the two object not acts directly and the matter causes that the space curve around the object.
Exercise 35
Step 1
1 of 3
The units for $g= dfrac{F}{g}$ are $dfrac{N}{kg}$.
Step 2
2 of 3
A newton (N) is equal to $dfrac{kgm}{s^{2}}$
Step 3
3 of 3
Therefore, $g = dfrac{N}{kg} = dfrac{dfrac{kgm}{s^{2}}}{kg} = dfrac{m}{s^{2}}$
Exercise 36
Step 1
1 of 2
The attraction between the object occurs because of the gravitational field that persists around the objects. If the object is inserted in a gravitational field of the other object the gravitational force will act on it. The gravitation force also creates a gravitation acceleration that is given by:

$$
begin{align*}
g&=Gcdotfrac{m_e}{r^2}
end{align*}
$$

where the $G$ stands for universal gravitation constant, $m_e$ is mass of earth and the $r$ is a distance from the Earth center in which we compute gravitational field.

So, if the mass of Earth is doubled but the radius stays the same:

$$
begin{align*}
g_2&=Gcdotfrac{2cdot{m_e}}{r^2}\
g_2&=2cdot{G}cdotfrac{{m_e}}{r^2}\
g_2&=2cdot{g}
end{align*}
$$

$$
boxed{text{If the mass of the Earth is doubled, the gravitational field will double also.}}
$$

Result
2 of 2
If the mass of the Earth is doubled, the gravitational field will double also.
Exercise 37
Step 1
1 of 1
The gravitational acceleration, g, is independent of the ball’s mass ans it is:

$g = dfrac{G m_E}{R_E^2}$

Where G is universal constant, $m_E$ is the mass of Earth an $r_E$ is the radius of Earth.

Exercise 38
Step 1
1 of 2
As we know, there is a lot of satellite around the Jupiter, so we can implement Kepler’s Third law on a motion of a satellite around the Jupiter. The time period of Jupiter satellite rotation is given by:

$$
begin{align*}
T&=2cdotpisqrtfrac{r^3}{Gcdot{m_J}}
end{align*}
$$

Where the $r$ stands for the radius of orbit of Jupiter satellite, $G$ is universal gravitational constant and $m_J$ is the mass of Jupiter.

Let’s express the mass of Jupiter from the upper equation:

$$
begin{align*}
sqrtfrac{r^3}{Gcdot{m_J}}&=frac{T}{2cdotpi}\
frac{r^3}{Gcdot{m_J}}&=frac{T^2}{4cdotpi^2}\
Gcdot{m_J}&=frac{r^3cdot{4cdotpi^2}}{T^2}\
m_j&=frac{4cdotpi^2cdot{r^3}}{Gcdot{T^2}}
end{align*}
$$

As the $G$ is the constant, we need to know the radius of Jupiter’s satellite orbit and the period of orbits.

Result
2 of 2
We need to know the radius of Jupiter’s satellite orbit and the period of orbits.
Exercise 39
Step 1
1 of 2
The mass of the planets can be calculated by using the Kepler’s Third Law:

$$
begin{align*}
T&=2cdotpisqrtfrac{r^3}{Gcdot{m}}
end{align*}
$$

Where the $r$ stands for the radius of orbit of planet satellite, $G$ is universal gravitational constant and $m$ is the mass of planet.

Let’s express the mass of planet from the upper equation:

$$
begin{align*}
sqrtfrac{r^3}{Gcdot{m}}&=frac{T}{2cdotpi}\
frac{r^3}{Gcdot{m}}&=frac{T^2}{4cdotpi^2}\
Gcdot{m}&=frac{r^3cdot{4cdotpi^2}}{T^2}\
m&=frac{4cdotpi^2cdot{r^3}}{Gcdot{T^2}}
end{align*}
$$

So there is no other way to get the mass of Pluto before discovering its satellite because we can’t implement the equation.

Result
2 of 2
There is needed the radius of satellite orbit and period of orbits to compute the mass of Pluto.
Exercise 40
Step 1
1 of 2
By Kepler’s first law the planet trajectory around the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one of its focuses. Let’s take a look at the pictures.
In the upper two pictures, the Sun is not in eclipse focus because there is no intersection of the semi-minor and semi-major axis.

In the lower-left picture, the Sun is on a Planet trajectory, so this is also not possible.

The last picture presents the Sun at a cross-section of semi-minor and semi-major axis, so this is a possible situation.

Result
2 of 2
The lower right picture is a possible situation.
Exercise 41
Step 1
1 of 2
The gravitational force between two massive objects is defined by the equation:

$$
begin{align*}
F&=Gcdotfrac{m_1cdot{m_2}}{r^2}
end{align*}
$$

So we can conclude that the magnitude of the gravitational force between the Moon and Earth is the same. But the forces act in opposite directions.

$$
boxed{overrightarrow{F_E}=-overrightarrow{F_M}}
$$

Result
2 of 2
$$
overrightarrow{F_E}=-overrightarrow{F_M}
$$
Exercise 42
Step 1
1 of 2
The $G$ is the universal gravitational constant and the value is get by a Cavendish experiment in order to make a relation between the force of attraction, masses of the objects, and the square of the distance between them.

$$
begin{align*}
F&=Gcdotfrac{m_1cdot{m_2}}{r^2}
end{align*}
$$

So, as the $G$ represents the constant value, it stays unchanged if we change any parameter in the equation.

Result
2 of 2
$$
G=text{const.}

Exercise 46
Step 1
1 of 2
The gravitational acceleration is:

$g = dfrac{G m}{r^2}$

The ratio of the gravitational accelerations is:

$dfrac{g_J}{g_E} = (dfrac{m_J}{m_E}) (dfrac{r_E}{r_J})^2$

$dfrac{g_J}{g_E} = (dfrac{300}{1}) (dfrac{1}{10})^2$

$dfrac{g_J}{g_E} = 3.0$

Thus:

$$
g_J = 3.00 g_E = (3.00) (9.80) = 29.4 m/s^2
$$

Result
2 of 2
$$
29.4 m/s^2
$$
Exercise 47
Step 1
1 of 2
The gravitational acceleration is:

$g = dfrac{G m}{r^2}$

The ratio of the gravitational accelerations is:

$dfrac{g_r}{g_E} = (dfrac{r_E}{r})^2$

(Where $g_r$ is the gravitational acceleration at one Earth radius above the surface of Earth)

$dfrac{g_r}{g_E} = (dfrac{1}{2})^2$

$dfrac{g_r}{g_E} = 0.25$

Thus:

$$
g_r = (0.25) (9.8) = 2.45 m/s^2
$$

Result

$$

Exercise 50
Step 1
1 of 2
As the object travels together with the astronaut in a spaceship, there is the centripetal force that acts on an object and the gravitational force that acts on an object. To be able to drop down to the ground the gravitational force that acts on an object must become greater than centripetal force. To achieve this we have to reduce the speed of an object to zero in a moment when we drop the object, in other words, we have to launch the object in an opposite direction of a space ship moving with a speed equal to the speed of space ship.
Result

We have to launch the object in a opposite direction regarding the space ship direction with a equal speed.

As the Earth constantly rotates around the Sun, the satellite can’t be in a stationary position, to stay in a same position the satellite must to move by the orbit with the equal speed of the Earth rotation. The model will look like at the picture:Exercise scan
Step 2

By Kepler’s Third Law, the velocity of the satellite has to be:

$$
begin{align*}
v&=sqrt{Gcdotfrac{m_e}{r}}
end{align*}
$$

Where the $r$ is the radius of the orbit, from the center of the Earth.
From the equation, we can see that if the satellite moves closer to the Earth, the velocity of the satellite has to be increased to have the satellite in the same position every day.

If the height of the satellite is increased, the speed of the satellite has to be decreased in order to keep the same position.

Result

If the satellite moves closer to the Earth, the velocity of the satellite has to be increased to have the satellite in the same position every day.

If the height of the satellite is increased, the speed of the satellite has to be decreased in order to keep the same position.

T_J&=sqrt{(5.2)^3}cdot{T_E}\

The force of attraction between two spheres is given by the equation:

Where the $G$ stands for the universal gravitational constant, $m_1$ and $m_2$ is the mass of the spheres,$r$ is the distance between them.
Also, we have given relation:

We have given the distance between the Moon center toward the Sun center $r_S=1.5cdot{10^8}text{ km}$, and the distance from the Moon to the Earth $r_E=3.9cdot{10^5}text{ km}$. And we have given the masses of the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon. Our target is to compute the ratio of the gravitational force exerted to the Moon by the Earth and the Sun.
Step 2
2 of 6
To find the ratio, we have to compute the individual gravitational force between the Moon and the Earth and the Moon and the Sun and divide values.

By the universal gravitational law, we know:

$$
begin{align*}
F_g&=Gcdotfrac{m_1cdot{m_2}}{r^2}
end{align*}
$$

Where $G$ stands for the universal gravitational constant, $m_1$ is the mass of the one object, $m_2$ the mass of the second object, and $r$ represents the distance between them.

Step 3
3 of 6
Let’s implement the universal gravitational law, and compute the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon.

$$
begin{align*}
F_{EM}&=Gcdotfrac{m_Ecdot{m_M}}{r_{EM}^2}
end{align*}
$$

Here we have given the universal gravitational constant is:

$$
begin{align*}
G&=6.67cdot{10^{-11}} frac{text{N}cdottext{m}^2}{text{kg}}
end{align*}
$$

Masses of the Earth and the Moon are:

$$
begin{align*}
m_E&=6cdot{10^{24}} text{kg}\
m_M&=7.3cdot{10^{22}} text{kg}
end{align*}
$$

And the distance between them is:

$$
begin{align*}
r_{EM}&=3.9cdot{10^5} text{ km}
end{align*}
$$

Let’s substitute and compute:

$$
begin{align*}
F_{EM}&=Gcdotfrac{m_Ecdot{m_M}}{r_{EM}^2}\
F_{EM}&=6.67cdot{10^{-11}} frac{text{N}cdottext{m}^2}{text{kg}}cdotfrac{6cdot{10^{24}} text{kg}cdot{7.3cdot{10^{22}} text{kg}}}{left(3.9cdot{10^5}cdot{10^3} text{ m}right)^2}\
F_{EM}&=1.92cdot{10^{20}}text{ N}
end{align*}
$$

Step 4

In the same way we can compute the gravitational force between the Moon and the Sun.

$$
begin{align*}
F_{SM}&=Gcdotfrac{m_Scdot{m_M}}{r_{SM}^2}\
F_{SM}&=6.67cdot{10^{-11}} frac{text{N}cdottext{m}^2}{text{kg}}cdotfrac{2cdot{10^{30}} text{kg}cdot{7.3cdot{10^{22}} text{kg}}}{left(1.5cdot{10^8}cdot{10^3} text{ m}right)^2}\
F_{SM}&=4.33cdot{10^{20}}text{ N}
end{align*}
$$

Step 5

To find the ratio between the force on the Moon exerted by the Earth and the Sun, we have to divide the magnitudes of the forces:

$$
begin{align*}
frac{F_{EM}}{F_{SM}}&=frac{1.92cdot{10^{20}}text{ N}}{4.33cdot{10^{20}}text{ N}}
end{align*}
$$

$$

Exercise 66
Step 1
1 of 5
The boat moves with the constant speed when the external force of $F=40text{ N}$ was exerted. This means that the frictional force between the boat and the surface and the external force of $F=40text{ N}$ on the Earth is the same magnitude. The magnitude of the friction force and the externally applied force on Jupiter have to be also the same magnitude in order to have a constant velocity.
Step 2
2 of 5
The force of friction between the boat and the glass surface is given by the equation:

$$
begin{align*}
F=f=mucdot{F_N}
end{align*}
$$

where the $mu$ represents the constant of friction, $m_b$ is the mass of a boat, and the $g$ is gravitational constant that is different on an Earth and the Jupiter.

The normal component of gravitational force is explained by Newton’s universal gravitational law:

$$
begin{align*}
F_N&=Gcdotfrac{{m_p}cdot{m_b}}{r_p^2}
end{align*}
$$

Where the $G$ is universal gravitational constant, $m_p$ and $m_b$ stands for the mass of the planet and the boat, and $r_p$ is the distance between the boat center of mass and the planet center of mass, in that case, this is the radius of the planet.

Step 3
3 of 5
The externally applied force $F$ on the boat at the Earth, can be written as:

$$
begin{align*}
F&=mucdot{F_N}\
F&=mucdot{G}cdotfrac{m_ecdot{m_b}}{r_e^2}
end{align*}
$$

And the force that has to be applied on the boat at Jupiter will be:

$$
begin{align*}
F_j&=mucdot{G}cdotfrac{m_jcdot{m_b}}{r_j^2}
end{align*}
$$

In this equation, all the data can be found as table values except the coefficient of friction, but it can be expressed from the equation from the upper equation.

$$
begin{align*}
mu&=frac{F}{{G}cdotfrac{m_ecdot{m_b}}{r_e^2}}\
mu&=frac{Fcdot{r_e^2}}{Gcdot{m_ecdot{m_b}}}
end{align*}
$$

And now can be substituted in an equation for the force needed on Jupiter.

$$
begin{align*}
F_j&=frac{Fcdot{r_e^2}}{Gcdot{m_ecdot{m_b}}}cdot{G}cdotfrac{m_jcdot{m_b}}{r_j^2}\
F_j&=frac{Fcdot{r_e^2}}{{m_e}}cdotfrac{m_j}{r_j^2}\
F_j&=Fcdotfrac{r_e^2cdot{m_j}}{r_j^2cdot{m_e}}
end{align*}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
From the table $7-1$ we can found all needed data:

$$
begin{align*}
m_e&=5.98cdot{10^{24}}text{ kg}\
m_j&=1.9cdot{10^{27}}text{ kg}\
r_e&=6.38cdot{10^6}text{ m}\
r_j&=7.15cdot{10^7}text{ m}
end{align*}
$$

So let’s compute the force needed:

$$
begin{align*}
F_j&=Fcdotfrac{r_e^2cdot{m_j}}{r_j^2cdot{m_e}}\
F_j&=40text{ N}cdotfrac{left(6.38cdot{10^6}text{ m}right)^2cdot{1.9cdot{10^{27}}text{ kg}}}{left(7.15cdot{10^7}text{ m}right)^2cdot{5.98cdot{10^{24}}text{ kg}}}
end{align*}
$$

By the universal gravitational law, the weight of an object at some distance from the massive object is given as a product of the gravitational field at that point and the mass of the object.

$$
begin{align*}
W&=gcdot{m}
end{align*}
$$

Also, we have the equation for the gravitational field of the Earth at some point given by the relation:

$$
begin{align*}
g&=Gcdotfrac{m_E}{r^2}
end{align*}
$$

where the $G$ stands for the universal gravitational constant, $m_E$ is the mass of the Earth, and $r$ represents the distance from the Earth center.

Step 2
2 of 5
As we know the weight of the spacecraft at the Earth’s surface, we can compute the mass of the spacecraft. Let’s substitute the second equation into the first one:

$$
begin{align*}
W&=gcdot{m}\
W&=Gcdotfrac{m_E}{r_E}cdot{m}\
W&=Gcdotfrac{m_Ecdot{m}}{r_E^2}
end{align*}
$$

Where the $G$ stands for the universal gravitational constant, $m_E$ and $m$ are the mass of the Earth and spacecraft, and the $r_E$ represents the radius of the Earth because this is the distance of the spacecraft from the Earth center.

The weight of the object distance from the Earth can be computed as:

$$
begin{align}
W&=Gcdotfrac{m_Ecdot{m}}{r^2}
end{align}
$$

Where the $r$ represents the distance from the Earth center.

Let’s express the mass of the spacecraft:

$$
begin{align*}
m&=frac{Wcdot{r_E^2}}{Gcdot{m_E}}
end{align*}
$$

Now, let’s substitute and compute the mass of the spacecraft:

$$
begin{align*}

m&=frac{7.2cdot{10^3}text{ N}cdot{left(6.38cdot{10^6}text{ m}right)^2}}{6.67cdot{10^{-11}} frac{text{N}cdot{text{m}^2}}{text{kg}^2}cdot{5.98cdot{10^{24}}text{ kg}}}\

$$

Let’s substitute all given into the first equation and compute the weight of spacecraft at height $h=6.38cdot{10^6}text{ m}$ from the Earth surface.

$$
begin{align*}
W&=Gcdotfrac{m_Ecdot{m}}{left(r_e+hright)^2}\
W&=6.67cdot{10^{-11}} frac{text{N}cdottext{m}^2}{text{kg}^2}cdotfrac{5.98cdot{10^{24}}text{ kg}cdot{734.8text{ kg}}}{left(6.38cdot{10^6}text{ m}+6.38cdot{10^6}text{ m}right)^2}

By the universal gravitational law, the weight of an object at some distance from the massive object is given as a product of the gravitational field at that point and the mass of the object.

$$
begin{align}
W&=gcdot{m}
end{align}
$$

Also, we have the equation for the gravitational field of the Earth at some point given by the relation:

$$
begin{align}
g&=Gcdotfrac{m_E}{r^2}
end{align}
$$

where the $G$ stands for the universal gravitational constant, $m_E$ is the mass of the Earth, and $r$ represents the distance from the Earth center.

Step 2
2 of 5
If we substitute the second equation into the first one, we get:

$$
begin{align*}
W&=Gcdotfrac{m_Ecdot{m}}{r^2}
end{align*}
$$

Let’s find the height at which we have half of the initial weight.

At some height the distance from the Earth center will be:

$$
begin{align*}
r&=r_E+h
end{align*}
$$

where the $r_E$ represents the Earth radius.

$$
begin{align*}
W&=frac{1}{2}cdot{W_E}\
Gcdotfrac{m_Ecdot{m}}{r^2}&=frac{1}{2}cdot{Gcdotfrac{m_Ecdot{m}}{r_E^2}}\
frac{1}{r^2}&=frac{1}{2}cdotfrac{1}{r_E^2}
end{align*}
$$

We get the relation that have to be true:

$$
begin{align*}
r^2&=2cdot{r_E}^2\
left(r_E+hright)^2&=2cdot{r_E}^2\
0&=r_E^2+2cdot{r_E}cdot{h}+h^2-2cdot{r_E^2}
end{align*}
$$

We get the quadratic equation that we have to solve:

$$
begin{align*}
h^2+2cdot{r_E}cdot{h}-r_E^2=0
end{align*}
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
The solution of this equation will be:

$$
begin{align*}
h_{12}&=frac{-2cdot{r_E}pmsqrt{4cdot{r_E^2}+4cdot{r_E^2}}}{2}\
h_{12}&=frac{-2cdot{r_E}pmsqrt{8cdot{r_E^2}}}{2}\
h_{12}&=frac{-2cdot{r_E}pm{2cdotsqrt{2}cdot{r_E}}}{2}\
h_{12}&=left(-1pmsqrt{2}right)cdot{r_E}
end{align*}
$$

Step 4
4 of 5
The second solution is not possible because the height cant be an negative value, so we have just one possible solution:

$$
begin{align*}
h&=left(-1+sqrt{2}right)cdot{r_E}\
h&=0.414cdot{r_E}
end{align*}
$$

If we substitute the radius of the Earth we get the needed height above the surface:

$$
begin{align*}
h&=0.414cdot{6.38cdot{10^3}text{ km}}
end{align*}
$$

$$
boxed{h=2.64cdot{10^3}text{ km}}

end{align*}
$$

$$
boxed{m=1642.76text{ kg}}

Step 1
1 of 5
The acceleration due to gravity is given by the universal gravitational Law as a:

$$
begin{align}
g&=frac{Gcdot{m}}{r^2}
end{align}
$$

Where the $G$ stands for the universal gravitational constant, $m$ is the mass of the Earth, and the $r$ represents the distance from the Earth’s center of mass.

From the table $7-1$ we can find the original mass of the Earth and it’s radius:

$$
begin{align*}
m&=5.98cdot{10^{24}}text{ kg}\
r&=6.38cdot{10^6}text{ m}
end{align*}
$$

Step 2

$bold{a)}$ We have the situation that the Earth mass is tripled and it’s mass remain the same $m_1=3cdot{m}$.

Let’s substitute into the first equation and compute the acceleration due to gravity:

$$
begin{align*}
g_1&=frac{Gcdot{m_1}}{r^2}\
g_1&=frac{Gcdot{3cdot{m}}}{r^2}\
g_1&=frac{6.67cdot{10^{-11}} frac{text{N}cdottext{m}^2}{text{kg}^2}cdot{3cdot{5.98cdot{10^{24}}text{ kg}}}}{left(6.38cdot{10^6}text{ m}right)^2}

Let’s substitute into the first equation and compute the acceleration due to gravity:

$$
begin{align*}
g_2&=frac{Gcdot{m}}{(r_2)^2}\
g_2&=frac{Gcdot{{m}}}{left(3cdot{r}right)^2}\
g_2&=frac{6.67cdot{10^{-11}} frac{text{N}cdottext{m}^2}{text{kg}^2}cdot{{5.98cdot{10^{24}}text{ kg}}}}{left(3cdot{6.38}cdot{10^6}text{ m}right)^2}

Step 4

$bold{c)}$ We have the situation that the Earth mass is doubled $m_3=2cdot{m}$, and it’s radius is doubled also $r_3=2cdot{r}$.

Let’s substitute into the first equation and compute the acceleration due to gravity:

$$
begin{align*}
g_3&=frac{Gcdot{m_3}}{(r_3)^2}\
g_3&=frac{Gcdot{2cdot{m}}}{left(2cdot{r}right)^2}\
g_3&=frac{6.67cdot{10^{-11}} frac{text{N}cdottext{m}^2}{text{kg}^2}cdot{2cdot{5.98cdot{10^{24}}text{ kg}}}}{left(2cdot{6.38}cdot{10^6}text{ m}right)^2}

Exercise 87
Step 1
1 of 3
The gravitational field at some point is the same as the acceleration due to gravity at this point. As we know the mass of an object is constant. The weight at any point is equal to a product of gravitational field and the object mass:
$$
begin{align*}
W&=mcdot{g}
end{align*}
$$
Step 2
2 of 3
If the weight of the body is reduced by $25%$, the remaining weight will be $75%$ of the original weight.

$$
begin{align*}
W_2&=mcdot{g_2}\
0.75cdot{W}&=mcdot{g_2}
end{align*}
$$

Let’s substitute the original weight from the first equation and express new gravitational field:

$$
begin{align*}
0.75cdot{mcdot{g}}&=mcdot{g_2}\
g_2&=0.75cdot{g}\
g_2&=0.75cdot{9.8frac{text{m}}{text{s}^2}}
end{align*}

In this problem, we need to find the mass of the Sun. To do this, we are going to use Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law. This law is the combination of Universal Gravitation and Kepler’s Third Law. We can write this law as
$$
begin{aligned}

Now, we can calculate the mass of the Sun
$$
begin{aligned}
m_{S}&=4 pi^{2}frac{r_{E}^{3}}{GT_{E}^{2}}\
m_{S}&=4 pi^{2}frac{left( 1.50 cdot 10^{11} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m} right)^{3}}{6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}} cdot left( 31536000 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{s} right)^{2}}\
m_{S}&=2.00cdot 10^{30} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}

In this problem, we want to find the force of attraction between a student with a mass of $m=45.0 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}$ and Earth. We know that the gravitational acceleration for this case is $g=7.83 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N/kg}$. To find the force of attraction, we are going to use the equation
$$
begin{aligned}
F=m g

$$
where $T_{s}$ is a period of the satellite, $r_{s}$ is a radius of orbit of the satellite, $r_{M}$ is a radius of Mars, $G$ is the gravitational constant, and $m_{M}$ is the mass of the Mars.
To find the speed of the satellite, we are going to use Universal Gravitational Law in combination with the centripetal force

The path radius of the satellite is $r_{s}=1.75 cdot 10^{5} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}$, the radius of Mars is $r_{s}=3.40 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}$,the mass of Mars is $m_{M}=6.42 cdot 10^{23} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}$ , and the gravitational constant is $G=6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}}$.
Step 3
3 of 6
Now, we substitute the values and calculate the period
$$
begin{aligned}
T_{s}&=2 pi sqrt{frac{left(r_{s}+r_{M}right)^{3}}{G m_{M}}}\
T_{s}&=2 pi sqrt{frac{left( 3.58 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m} right)^{3}}{6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}} cdot 6.42 cdot 10^{23} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}}}\

end{aligned}
$$
Step 4

Now, we are going to calculate the speed of the satellite. First, we divide everything with $m_{s}/left(r_{s}+r_{M}right)$
$$
begin{aligned}
frac{m_{s}v_{s}^{2}}{r_{s}+r_{M}}&=Gfrac{m_{M} m_{s}}{left(r_{s}+r_{M}right)^{2}}/: m_{s}/left(r_{s}+r_{M}right)\
v_{s}^{2}&=Gfrac{m_{M} }{r_{s}+r_{M}}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 5

In this problem, we need to find the period of the satellite. To do this, we are going to use Kepler’s third law, and we can write it as
$$
begin{aligned}
left( frac{T_{s}}{T_{M}} right)^{2}=left( frac{r_{s}}{r_{M}}right)^{3}
end{aligned}
$$
where $T_{s}$ is a period of the satellite, $T_{M}$ is a period of the Moon, $r_{s}$ is a radius of the satellite’s orbit, and $r_{M}$ is a radius of the Moon’s orbit.
Step 2

Now, we want to find the relation between Moon’s and satellite’s periods. We are going to find the square root of the expression
$$
begin{aligned}
left( frac{T_{s}}{T_{m}} right)^{2}&=frac{1}{8}\
sqrt{left( frac{T_{s}}{T_{m}} right)^{2}}&= sqrt{frac{1}{8}}\
frac{T_{s}}{T_{m}}&=0.35\

where $T_{c}$ is a period of the cannonball, $r_{M}$ is a radius of the Moon’s orbit, $G$ is the gravitational constant, and $m_{M}$ is the mass of the Moon.
To find the speed of the cannonball, we are going to use Universal Gravitational Law in combination with the centripetal force
$$

First, we are going to calculate the speed of the cannonball. First, we divide everything with $m_{c}/r_{M}$
$$
begin{aligned}
frac{m_{c}v_{c}^{2}}{r_{M}}&=Gfrac{m_{M} m_{c}}{r_{M}^{2}}/: m_{c}/r_{M}\
v_{c}^{2}&=Gfrac{m_{M} }{r_{M}}

$$
Step 4

Step 2
2 of 8
$a)$ We can find the period of the Moon by using the equation
$$
begin{aligned}
T_{M}=2 pi sqrt{frac{r_{M}^{3}}{G m_{E}}}
end{aligned}
$$
where $T_{M}$ is a period of the Moon, $r_{M}$ is a radius of the Moon’s orbit, and $m_{E}$ is a mass of Earth.
Step 3
3 of 8
For this Earth’s mass, the Moon has a period of one month. But if the mass of Earth is doubled, then the period could be calculated as
$$
begin{aligned}
T_{M}’&=2 pi sqrt{frac{r_{M}^{3}}{G m_{E}’}}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 4

frac{T_{M}’}{T_{M}}&=frac{ sqrt{frac{1}{m_{E}’}}}{ sqrt{frac{1}{m_{E}}}}\
frac{T_{M}’}{T_{M}}&=frac{ sqrt{frac{1}{2m_{E}}}}{ sqrt{frac{1}{m_{E}}}}\
frac{T_{M}’}{T_{M}}&=sqrt{frac{1}{2}}\
T_{M}’&=0.707T_{M}\
T_{M}’&=0.707 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{months}\
end{aligned}
$$
Step 5
5 of 8
$b)$ To find the radius of an orbit of satellite with the period of one month, we use Kepler’s third law, and we can write it as
$$
begin{aligned}
left( frac{T_{s}}{T_{M}’} right)^{2}=left( frac{r_{s}}{r_{M}}right)^{3}
end{aligned}
$$
where $T_{s}$ is a period of the satellite, $T_{M}’$ is a period of the Moon, $r_{s}$ is a radius of the satellite’s orbit, and $r_{M}$ is a radius of the Moon’s orbit.
Step 6
6 of 8
First, we are going to find the expression of the radius of the satellite’s orbit
$$
begin{aligned}
left( frac{T_{s}}{T_{M}’} right)^{2}&=left( frac{r_{s}}{r_{M}}right)^{3}\
frac{r_{s}}{r_{M}}&=left( frac{T_{s}}{T_{M}’} right)^{2/3}\
r_{s}&=r_{M}left( frac{T_{s}}{T_{M}’} right)^{2/3}\
end{aligned}
$$
Step 7
7 of 8
The period of the satellite is one month and the period of the Moon is $0.707 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{months}$, so we can calculate
$$
begin{aligned}
r_{s}&=r_{M}left( frac{T_{s}}{T_{M}’} right)^{2/3}\
r_{s}&=r_{M}left( frac{1hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{months}}{0.707 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{months}} right)^{2/3}\
r_{s}&=1.26 r_{M}

$c)$ We know that the period of Earth can be found from the equation
$$
begin{aligned}
T_{E}&=2 pi sqrt{frac{r_{E}^{3}}{G m_{S}}}
end{aligned}
$$
where $m_{S}$ is the mass of the Sun. We can see there is no mass of Earth in this equation, so the period of Earth will remain the same.

$$
where $m$ is a mass of an object, $m_{p}$ is a mass of a planet, $v_{p}$ is a speed of a planet, and $r_{p}$ is a radius of a planet.
Step 2

We know the speed of the car $v=12 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s}$ and the coefficient of friction $mu=0.50$, but we do not know the gravitational acceleration on Mars. We can find it by using Universal Gravitational Law

The radius of the Moon is $r_{M}=1.785 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}$,the mass of the Moon is $m_{M}=7.3 cdot 10^{22} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}$, also the radius of Apollo’s orbit is $r_{A}=1.11 cdot 10^{5} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}+1.785 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}=1.896 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}$.
Step 2
2 of 6
$a)$ In this problem, we want to find the period of Apollo II around the Moon. We are going to use the equation
$$
begin{aligned}
T_{A}=2 pi sqrt{frac{r_{A}^{3}}{G m_{M}}}
end{aligned}
$$
where $T_{A}$ is a period of Apollo II, $r_{A}$ is a radius of Apollo’s orbit, $m_{M}$ is a mass of the Moon, and the gravitational constant is $G=6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}}$.
Step 3
3 of 6
Now, we need to substitute the values and find the period of Apollo
$$
begin{aligned}
T_{A}&=2 pi sqrt{frac{r_{A}^{3}}{G m_{M}}}\
T_{A}&=2 pi sqrt{frac{left( 1.896 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m} right)^{3}}{6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}} cdot 7.3 cdot 10^{22} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}}}\
T_{A}&= 7.43cdot 10^{3} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{s}\
T_{A}&=123 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{min}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 4
4 of 6
$b)$ Now, we need to find the speed of Apollo. We are going to use the equation
$$
begin{aligned}
v_{A}&=frac{2 pi r_{A}}{T_{A}}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 5
5 of 6
We already know these values, so we are going to substitute them, and calculate the speed
$$
begin{aligned}
v_{A}&=frac{2 pi r_{A}}{T_{A}}\
v_{A}&=frac{2 pi cdot 1.896 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}{7.43cdot 10^{3} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{s}}\
v_{A}&=1.60 cdot 10^{3} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s}
end{aligned}
$$
Result
6 of 6
$a)$ $T_{A}=123 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{min}$
$b)$ $v_{A}=1.60 cdot 10^{3} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s}$
Exercise 97
Step 1
1 of 12
In this problem, we are going to determine are the tides on Earth caused by the pull of the Moon.
Step 2
2 of 12
$a)$ We are going to find two forces, one between the Sun and the water mass on Earth, and the other one between the Moon and the water mass on Earth. That water mass has the mass $m$, and from Table 7-1 we read others parameters, as the mass of the Sun and the Moon, and the distances between objects. Also, we know the gravitational constant is $G=6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}}$.
Step 3
3 of 12
We are going to use the gravitational force
$$
begin{aligned}
F=Gfrac{m’m}{r^{2}}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 4
4 of 12
The gravitational force between the Sun and the water mass is
$$
begin{aligned}
F_{Sun}&=Gfrac{m_{S}m}{r_{S}^{2}}\
F_{Sun}&=m cdot6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}}frac{1.99 cdot 10^{30}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}}{(1.50 cdot 10^{11} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m})^{2}}\
F_{Sun}&=m cdot 5.90 cdot 10^{-3}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N} end{aligned}
$$
In the previous result, we have the term $m$, which is the water mass, and not the unit of meters.
Step 5
5 of 12
Now, we are going to find the gravitational force between the Moon and the water mass
$$
begin{aligned}
F_{Moon}&=Gfrac{m_{M}m}{r_{M}^{2}}\
F_{Moon}&=m cdot 6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}}frac{7.36 cdot 10^{22}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}}{(3.80 cdot 10^{8} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m})^{2}}\
F_{Moon}&=m cdot 0.034 cdot 10^{-3}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N}
end{aligned}
$$
Same as before, the term $m$ is the water mass and not the unit of meters.
Step 6
6 of 12
$b)$ From the previous part, we can see that the Sun has a greater pull on the waters of Earth.
Step 7
7 of 12
$c)$ In part $a)$ the distance was between the center of Earth to the center of another object, but now, we need to find the forces at the near-surface and the water at the far surface. In Figure 7-27, we can see that this surface is $pm$ radius of Earth from the center. So we can calculate the force exerted by the Moon on the water at the near-surface and the water at the far surface.
Step 8
8 of 12
We can calculate
$$
begin{aligned}
F&=Gfrac{m_{M}m}{(r_{M}-r_{E})^{2}}-Gfrac{m_{M}m}{(r_{M}+r_{E})^{2}}\
F&=m cdot 6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}}frac{7.36 cdot 10^{22}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}}{(3.80 cdot 10^{8} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}-0.064 cdot 10^{8} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m})^{2}}-\
&hspace{2.5mm}-m cdot 6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}}frac{7.36 cdot 10^{22}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}}{(3.80 cdot 10^{8} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}+0.064 cdot 10^{8} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m})^{2}}\
F&=m cdot 2.28 cdot 10^{-6}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 9
9 of 12
$d)$ In the same way as before, we are going to find the difference in force exerted by the Sun on the water at the near-surface and on the water at the far surface.
Step 10
10 of 12
We can calculate
$$
begin{aligned}
F&=Gfrac{m_{S}m}{(r_{S}-r_{E})^{2}}-Gfrac{m_{S}m}{(r_{S}+r_{E})^{2}}\
F&=m cdot 6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}}frac{1.99 cdot 10^{30}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}}{(1.50 cdot 10^{11} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}-6.37 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m})^{2}}-\
&hspace{2.5mm}-m cdot6.67 cdot 10^{-11}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m^{3}}{kg s^{2}}}frac{1.99 cdot 10^{30}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}}{(1.50 cdot 10^{11} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}+6.37 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m})^{2}}\
F&=m cdot 1.00cdot 10^{-6}hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 11
11 of 12
$e)$ From parts $c)$ and $d)$ we can see that the Moon has a greater difference than the Sun.
Step 12
12 of 12
$f)$ The start statement is not correct because the tides do not depend only on the gravitational force. They depend on the difference between the far and the near-surface.
Exercise 98
Step 1
1 of 6
In this problem, we need to read the gravity acceleration from the graph. To draw the graph we use the equation
$$
begin{aligned}
mg&=Gfrac{mcdot m_{E}}{r^{2}}\
g&=Gfrac{m_{E}}{r^{2}}
end{aligned}
$$
where $m_{E}$ is the mass of Earth.
So the factor, $Gm_{E}$ is our constant $c=4.0 cdot 10^{8} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m}{s^{2}m^{2}}}$.

Step 3

$a)$ At sea level, $r=6400 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{km}$, the gravity acceleration is $g=9.76hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m}{s^{2}}}$
Step 4

$b)$ On top of Mt. Everest, $r=6410 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{km}$, the gravity acceleration is $g=9.72hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m}{s^{2}}}$
Step 5

$c)$ In a typical satellite orbit, $r=6500 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{km}$, the gravity acceleration is $g=9.46hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m}{s^{2}}}$
Step 6
6 of 6
$d)$ In a much higher orbit, $r=6600 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{km}$, the gravity acceleration is $g=9.18hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{frac{m}{s^{2}}}$
Exercise 99
Step 1
1 of 5
The question of the distance between Earth and the Sun was from the ancient world. So, we, Earth, are the third planet of the solar system, behind Mercury and Venus. The Sun is in the center, and all planets are orbiting around the Sun. That distance between Earth and the Sun has a special meaning in astronomy, so it has a special name, Astronomical Unit.
Step 2
2 of 5
The first try to measure the distance between Earth and the Sun was in ancient Greece. Greek astronomers Aristarchus and Eratosthenes were pioneers in this field. Aristarchus thought that the distance from Earth to the Sun is 18 to 20 times greater than the distance between the Moon and Earth. Same as Aristarchus, Eratosthenes’s calculation was too low.
Step 3
3 of 5
After the ancient world, and many tries to find the distance, Jeremiah Horrocks noticed that distance can be calculated if we observe the distance between Venus and Earth. That was in 1639. After this, many scientists tried to improve the result, so they started to observe Venus and compared it with Mars.
Step 4
4 of 5
But, since 1961, we can measure the distance to Venus directly. We use radar for this. And if we know the distance between Venus and Earth, we can find the distance between the Sun and Earth.

Step 5
5 of 5
Nowadays, we know that the Astronomical Unit, or AU, is roughly $AU=150 cdot 10^{6} hspace{0.5mm}mathrm{km}$.
Exercise 100
Step 1
1 of 4
We are going to say something about exoplanets, or planets that are not in our solar system. To find the planets, scientists find need to discover the star. After that, they are going to observe the characteristics of that star. They are tracking these characteristics, and if they changed periodically, there is some planet orbiting that star.
Step 2
2 of 4
They can use the Doppler shift to find the velocity of the star. From that velocity, they can find the distance between the star and the object that cause these oscillations, or the planet. Also, they can determine the mass of that planet.
Step 3
3 of 4
In 2009, scientists have sent a spacecraft called Kepler to look for exoplanets. It does something similar to a planet. It goes in front of a star, and scientists observe the characteristics of a star, so in this way, they can find out how far away the planet is from its star.
Step 4
4 of 4
They use the third Kepler’s law to compare the distance or period with other objects, from our solar system, or some other systems.
Exercise 101
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, we need to find the distance between the cities. We know how much time the plane needs to travel that distance, and we know the average speed of the plane, so we are going to use the equation
$$
begin{aligned}
Delta d=v Delta t
end{aligned}
$$
where $Delta d$ is the distance between the cities, $v$ is an average speed, and $Delta t$ is the time.
Step 2
2 of 4
The time of taking off is 2.20 p.m., and the time of landing down is 3.15 p.m., so the time difference between these actions is $Delta t=55hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{min}=$. The average speed is $v=441.0hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{km/h}=122.5hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s}$.
Step 3
3 of 4
Now, we can write
$$
begin{aligned}
Delta d&=v Delta t\
Delta d&=122.5hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s} cdot 3300 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{s}\
Delta d&=404250 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}\
Delta d&=404.25 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{km}\
end{aligned}
$$
Result
4 of 4
$Delta d=404.25 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{km}$
Exercise 102
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, we need to find Jared’s usual weight on Earth. We know his weight, when he is in an elevator that goes upward at $1.75 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/ s^{2}}$. So, the reaction force $F_{r}$ from the scale is directed upward, while the gravity force $F_{g}$ is directed downward. So, we are going to use Newton’s second law
$$
begin{aligned}
ma&= sum F\
ma&=F_{r}-F_{g}
end{aligned}
$$
where $m$ is Jared’s mass, and $a$ is an acceleration of the system.
Step 2
2 of 4
The mass of Jared can be written as $m=frac{F_{g}}{g}$, so we can combine these relations, and get the expression for the weight
$$
begin{aligned}
ma&=F_{r}-F_{g}\
frac{F_{g}}{g}a&=F_{r}-F_{g}\
frac{F_{g}}{g}a+F_{g}&=F_{r}\
F_{g}left(1+frac{a}{g} right)&=F_{r}\
F_{g}&=F_{r} frac{1}{1+frac{a}{g}}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 3
3 of 4
Now, we can substitute the values and find the usual weight on Earth
$$
begin{aligned}
F_{g}&=F_{r} frac{1}{1+frac{a}{g}}\
F_{g}&=716 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N} frac{1}{1+frac{1.75 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/ s^{2}}}{9.81 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/ s^{2}}}}\
F_{g}&=607.6 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N}
end{aligned}
$$
Result
4 of 4
$F_{g}=607.6 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N}$
Exercise 103
Step 1
1 of 4
In this problem, the bug is walking on the outer rim of the flying disk. That bug has the mass of $m=10^{-3} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg}$, and it moves at rate of $v=0.63 hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm/s}=0.63 cdot 10^{-2} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s}$. The radius of that flying disk is $r=frac{17.2}{2} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{cm}=8.6 cdot 10^{-2} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}$.
Step 2
2 of 4
Now, we can find the centripetal force substituting the values in the equation
$$
begin{aligned}
F_{cp}&=frac{m v^{2}}{r}\
F_{cp}&=frac{10^{-3} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{kg} cdot left( 0.63 cdot 10^{-2} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m/s}right)^{2}}{8.6 cdot 10^{-2} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{m}}\
F_{cp}&=4.6 cdot 10^{-7} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N}
end{aligned}
$$
Step 3
3 of 4
This force is provided by friction between the bug and the disk.
Result
4 of 4
$F_{cp}=4.6 cdot 10^{-7} hspace{0.5mm} mathrm{N}$
