A proton is located at , and an alpha particle (consisting of two protons and two neutrons)is located at. a) Calculate the force the proton exerts on the alpha particle. b) Calculate the force the alpha particle exerts on the proton?
At t = 532.0s after midnight, a spacecraft of mass 1400 kg is located at position (3x105, 7x105,-4x105 ) m, and at that time an asteroid whose mass is 7 x 10 15 kg is located at position (9 x 10 ^ 5, - 3 x 10 ^ 5, - 12 x 10 ^ 5) m. There are no other objects nearby. (a) Calculate the (vector) force acting on the spacecraft. (b) At t=532.0: the spacecraft's momentum was
and at the later time t = 538.0s its momentum was
.Calculate the (vector) change of momentum
Figure 3.60 shows two positively charged objects (with the same charge) and one negatively charged object. What is the direction of the net electric force on the negatively charged object? If the net force is zero, state this explicitly.

Suppose that you are going to program a computer to carry out an iterative calculation of motion involving electric forces. Assume that as usual we use the final velocity in each time interval as the approximate average velocity during that interval. Which of the following calculations should be done before starting the repetitive calculation loop? Which of the calculations listed above should go inside the repetitive loop, and in what order?
(a) Define constants such as
(b) Update the (vector) position of each object.
(c) Calculate the (vector) forces acting on the objects.
(d) Specify the initial (vector) momentum of each object.
(e) Specify an appropriate value for the time step.
(f) Specify the mass of each object.
(g) Update the (vector) momentum of each object.
(h) Specify the initial (vector) position of each object.
A star exerts a gravitational force of magnitude on 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?
