The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is F1. Planet 2, which is twice as massive as planet 1 and orbits at t

hree times larger distance from the star, experiences gravitational force F2.
What is the ratio F2F1? You can ignore the gravitational force between the two planets.

Answer:

ratio = 1 : 4.5

Explanation:

If m₁ is the mass of the star and m₂ the mass of the planet, the force of gravity F₁ for planet 1 is given by:

$F_1=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

The force F₂:

$F_2=\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(3r)^2}$

The ratio:

$\frac{F_2}{F_1}=\frac{2}{9}$

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts of kinematic equations of motion and the work done by a body.

In the case of work, we know that it is defined by,

$W = F * d$

Where,

F= Force

d = Distance

The distance in this case is a composition between number of steps and the height. Then,

$d=h*N$ , for h as the height of each step and N number of steps.

On the other hand we have the speed changes, depending on the displacement and acceleration (omitting time)

$V_f^2-V_i^2 = 2a\Delta X$

Where,

$V_f =$ Final velocity

$V_i =$ Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

$\Delta X =$ Displacement

PART A) For the particular case of work we know then that,

$W = F*d$

$W = m*g*(h*N)$

$W = 50*9.8*(0.3*30)$

$W = 4.41kJ$

Therefore the Work to do that activity is 4.41kJ

PART B) To find the acceleration (from which we can later find the time) we start from the previously given equation,

$V_f^2-V_i^2 = 2a\Delta X$

Here,

$V_i = \frac{0.3*3}{1} = 0.90m/s\rightarrow$ 3 steps in one second

$v_f = 0$

Replacing,

$V_f^2-V_i^2 = 2a\Delta X$

$0-0.9^2=2a(30*0.3)$

Re-arrange for a,

$a = -\frac{0.9^2}{2*30*0.3}$

$a = -45*10^{-3}m/s^2$

At this point we can calculate the time, which is,

$t = \frac{\Delta V}{a}$

$t = \frac{0-0.9}{-45*10^{-3}}$

$t = 20s$

With time and work we can finally calculate the power

P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{4.41}{20}

P = 0.2205kW

Answer:

a) $v=0.999124c$

b) $E=7.566*10^{22}$

c) $E_a=760 times\ larger$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance to Betelgeuse $d_b=430ly$

Mass of Rocket $M_r=20000$

Total Time in years traveled $T_d=36years$

Total energy used by the United States in the year 2000 $E_{2000}=1.0*10^20$

Generally the equation of speed of rocket v mathematically given by

$v=\frac{2d}{\triangle t}$

$v=860ly/ \triangle t$

where

$\triangle t=\frac{\triangle t'}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}$

$\triangle t=\frac{36}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}$

$\triangle t=\sqrt{(860)^2+(36)^2}$

$\triangle t=860.7532$

Therefore

$v=\frac{860ly}{ 860.7532}$

$v=0.999124c$

b)

Generally the equation of the energy E required to attain prior speed mathematically given by

$E=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(v/c)^2} }-1(20000kg)(3*10^8m/s)^2$

$E=7.566*10^{22}$

c)Generally the equation of the energy $E_a$ required to accelerate the rocket mathematically given by

$E_a=\frac{E}{E_{2000}}$

$E_a=\frac{7.566*10^{22}}{1.0*10^{20}}$

$E_a=760 times\ larger$
