Chapter 3: Q24P (page 129)

Calculate the approximate gravitational force exerted by the Earth on a human standing on the Earth's surface. Compare with the approximate gravitational force of a human on another human at a distance of 3 m. What approximations or simplifying assumptions must you make?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of approximate gravitational force isF=3.11脳1015N

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Distance of human = 3 m

02

Gravitational force

Gravitational force is the attraction of all the masses in the universe.

03

Calculation of the gravitational force

According to the Newton鈥檚 low of gravitation

F=Gm1m2r2

Where

G 鈥� Gravitational constant 6.67脳10-11m3kg.s

role="math" localid="1653973046667" m1- - Mass of 1 object

m2-Mass of 2 objects

role="math" localid="1653973083756" r- Distance between two object = 3m

Let us assume that mass of object one is m1=70kg

And second mass is as mass of earth m2=6脳1024kg

So after putting the values we get

F=Gm1m2r2F=6.67脳10-11m3kg.s2脳70kg脳6脳1024kg32F=3.11脳1015N

Thus the value of gravitational force is F=3.11脳1015N

The mass of the earth is 6脳1024鈥�kg, the mass of the moon is7脳1022鈥�kg,, and the center-to-center distance is 4脳108鈥�m. How far from the center of the earth is the center of the mass of the Earth-Moon system? Note that the Earth鈥檚 radius is6.4脳106鈥�m.

The mass of the Sun is 2脳1030kg. The mass of the Earth is 6脳1024kg.and their center-to-center distance is 1.5脳1011m. Suppose that at some instant the Sun's momentum is zero (it's at rest). Ignoring all effects but that of the Earth, what will the Sun's speed be after one day? (Very small changes in the velocity of a star can be detected using the "Doppler" effect, a change in the frequency of the starlight, which has made it possible to identify the presence of planets in orbit around a star.)
