At a particular instant the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by a planet on one of its moons is 3×1023N. If the mass of the moon were three times as large, what would be the magnitude of the force? If instead the distance between the moon and the planet were three times as large (no change in mass), what would be the magnitude of the force?

Short Answer

Expert verified

If the mass of the moon were three times as large, then the magnitude of the force is9×1023N. If instead, the distance between the moon and the planet were three times as large (no change in mass), then the magnitude of the force is 3.33×1022N.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Gravitational Force on the moonF=3×1023N

02

Gravitational force

Definition

The force attraction between every object in the universe is called gravitation force.

For example: throwing the ball in the air and the ball comes to the ground.

03

Step : Calculating gravitational force when the mass of the moon is three times large

Gravitation force can be written as

F=GM1M2R2.................................................(1)

Where G is the universal gravitational constant, M1is the mass of the moon, M2is the mass of the planet, and Ris the distance between moon and planet.

Now, M"=3M,

WhereM" is the new mass of the moon.

From equation no (1), we get,

F=G3M1M2R2=3F

Substituting the3×1023N for F in the above equation,

F'=3×3×1023NF'=9×1023N

Thus, if the mass of the moon were three times as large, then the magnitude of the force is9×1023N.

04

Calculating gravitational force when the distance between the moon and planet is three times large

Now for the distance between the moon and planet three times large,

R"=3R

From the equation no (1), we get,

F'=GM1M23R2=F9

Substituting the3×1023N for F in the above equation

F'=3×1023N9=3.33×1022N

Thus, if the distance between the moon and the planet were three times as large (no change in mass), then the magnitude of the force is3.33×1022N.

Two balls of mass 0.3kgand0.5kgare connected by a low-mass spring (Figure 3.63). This device is thrown through the air with low speed, so air resistance is negligible. The motion is complicated: the balls whirl around each other, and at the same time the system vibrates, with continually changing stretch of the spring. At a particular instant, the 0.3kgball has a velocity (4,-3,2) m/sand the0.5kgball has a velocity (2,1,4) m/s.a) At this instant, what is the total momentum of the device? b) What is the net gravitational (vector) force exerted by the earth on the device? c) At a timelater, what is the total momentum of the device?

A car of mass2045 kgmoving in the x direction at a speed of29 m/sstrikes a hovering mosquito of mass2.5 mg, and the mosquito is smashed against the windshield. The interaction between the mosquito and the windshield is an electric interaction between the electrons and protons in the mosquito and those in the windshield. (a) What is the approximate momentum change of the mosquito? Give magnitude and direction. Explain any approximations you make. (b) At a particular instant during the impact, when the force exerted on the mosquito by the car is F, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the car by the mosquito? (c) What is the approximate momentum change of the car? Give magnitude and direction. Explain any approximations you make. (d) Qualitatively, why is the collision so much more damaging to the mosquito than to the car?

When they are far apart, the momentum of a proton is (3.4×10-21,0,0) kg.m/sas it approaches another proton that is initially at rest. The two protons repel each other electrically, without coming close enough to touch. When they are once again far apart, one of the protons now has momentum(2.4×10-21,1.55×10-21,0) kg.m/s. At that instant, what is the momentum of the other proton?

A roughly spherical asteroid has a mass of 3.11×1020kgand a radius of 270 km. (a) What is the value of the constant g at a location on the surface of the asteroid? (b) What would be the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the asteroid on a 70 kg astronaut standing on the asteroid’s surface? (c) How does this compare to the gravitational force on the same astronaut when standing on the surface of the Earth?

A bullet traveling horizontally at a very high speed embeds itself in a wooden block that is sitting at rest on a very slippery sheet of ice. You want to find the speed of the block just after the bullet embeds itself in the block. (a) What should you choose as the system to analyze? (b) Which of the following statements is true? (1) After the collision, the speed of the block with the bullet stuck in it is the same as the speed of the bullet before the collision. (2) The momentum of the block with the bullet stuck in it is the same as the momentum of the bullet before the collision. (3) The initial momentum of the bullet is greater than the momentum of the block with the bullet stuck in it.
