Figure 13-53 is a graph of the kinetic energy Kof an asteroid versus its distance rfrom Earth鈥檚 center, as the asteroid falls directly in toward that center. (a) What is the (approximate) mass of the asteroid? (b) What is its speed atr=1.945107m ?

Short Answer

Answer:

  1. The mass of asteroid ism=1.0103kg
  2. The speed of asteroid is at r=1.945107misv=1.5103m/s

Step by step solution

01

Significance of Newton’s law of universal gravitation

Every particle in the universe is attracted to every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance, according to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.

We can use the concept of energy conservation law. When the asteroid falls towards the earth, its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Formula:

U=-GMmrK=12mv2

Where.

G is the gravitational constant ( 6.6710-11m3/kgs2)

M is the mass earth

K is the kinetic energy

U is the potential energy

v is the speed of object

m is the mass of asteroid

02

(a) Determining the mass of asteroid

According to the energy conservation law,

K1-U1=K2-U2K1-GMmr1=K2-GMmr2GMmr2-GMmr1=K2-K1m=K2-K1GM1r2-1r1=3.2109J-2.2109J6.6710-11N.m2kg25.981024kg11.77107m-11.85107m=1.0103kg

03

(b) Determining the speed of asteroid

At a distance r=1.945107m, the kinetic energy of the asteroid is K=1.2109J. Hence the speed of the asteroid is

K=12mv2

dv=2Km=21.2109J1.0103kg=1.5103m/s

The speed of asteroid is at r = 1.945 x 107 is v =1.5103m/s

A uniform solid sphere of radius R produces a gravitationalacceleration of ag on its surface. At what distance from the sphere鈥檚center are there points (a) inside and (b) outside the sphere wherethe gravitational acceleration isag/3 ?

Question: The radius Rh of a black hole is the radius of a mathematical sphere, called the event horizon that is centered on the black hole. Information from events inside the event horizon cannot reach the outside world. According to Einstein鈥檚 general theory of relativity,Rh=2GM/c2 , where Mis the mass of the black hole and cis the speed of light.

Suppose that you wish to study a black hole near it, at a radial distance of 50Rh. However, you do not want the difference in gravitational acceleration between your feet and your head to exceed 10 m/s2 when you are feet down (or head down) toward the black hole. (a) As a multiple of our Sun鈥檚 mass Ms , approximately what is the limit to the mass of the black hole you can tolerate at the given radial distance? (You need to estimate your height.) (b) Is the limit an upper limit (you can tolerate smaller masses) or a lower limit (you can tolerate larger masses)?

In deep space, sphere Aof mass 20kgis located at the origin of an x-axis and sphere Bof mass10kg is located on the axis atx=0.80m . Sphere Bis released from rest while sphere Ais held at the origin. (a) What is the gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system just as Bis released? (b) What is the kinetic energy of Bwhen it has moved 0.20mtoward A?

An object of mass mis initially held in place at radial distancer=3REfrom the center of Earth, whereREis the radius of Earth. Let MEbe the mass of Earth. A force is applied to the object to move it to a radial distancer=4RE, where it again is held in place. Calculate the work done by the applied force during the move by integrating the force magnitude.
