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.

Suppose that all the people of the Earth go to the North Pole and, on a signal, all jump straight up. Estimate the recoil speed of the Earth. The mass of the Earth is 6×1024kg, and there are about 6 billion people (6×109).

Two balls of mass are 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 ball has a velocity and the ball has a velocity. 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 time later, what is the total momentum of the device?

Figure 3.61 shows two negatively charged objects (with the same charge) and one positively charged object. What is the direction of the net electric force on the positively charged object? If the net force is zero, state this explicitly.

A star exerts a gravitational force of magnitude -4×1025Non a planet.

(a) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force that the planet exerts on the star?

(b) If the mass of the planet were twice as large, what would be the magnitude of the gravitational force on the planet?

(c)If the distance between the star and planet (with their original masses) were three times larger, what would be the magnitude of this force?

A steel ball of mass m falls from a height h onto a scale calibrated in newtons. The ball rebounds repeatedly to nearly the same height h. The scale is sluggish in its response to the intermittent hits and displays an average force F avg , such that FavgT=Fâ–³t, Z where Fâ–³tis the brief impulse that the ball imparts to the scale on every hit, and T is the time between hits.

Question: Calculate this average force in terms of m, h and physical constants. Compare your result with the scale reading if the ball merely rests on the scale. Explain your analysis carefully (but briefly).
