Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).

Consider a 100 g object dropped from a height of 1 m. Assuming no air friction (drag), when will the object hit the ground and a
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

speed and time are Vf = 4.43 m/s and  t = 0.45 s

Explanation:

This is a problem of free fall, we have the equations of kinematics

      Vf² = Vo² + 2g x

As the object is released the initial velocity is zero, let's look at the final velocity with the equation

      Vf = √( 2 g X)

      Vf = √(2 9.8  1)

      Vf = 4.43 m/s

This is the speed with which it reaches the ground

 

Having the final speed we can find the time

      Vf = Vo + g t

       t = Vf / g

       t = 4.43 / 9.8

       t = 0.45 s

This is the time of fall of the body to touch the ground

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a)      K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂ ,  b) U = - G m M / r

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

     F = G m M / r²

Part A

Let's use Newton's second law

     F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

     a = v² / R₂

     

      G m M / R₂² = m v² / R₂

      v² = G M / R₂

They give us the density of the planet

    ρ = M / V

    V = 4/3 π R₁³

    M =   ρ V

    M =   ρ 4/3 π R₁³

    v² = 4/3 π G  ρ R₁³ / R₂

    K = ½ m v²

    K = ½ m (4/3 π G ρ R₁³ / R₂)

    K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂

Part B

Potential energy and strength are related

     F = - dU / dr

     ∫ dU = - ∫ F. dr

The force was directed towards the center and the vector r outwards therefore there is an angle of 180º between the two cos 180 = -1

    U- U₀ = G m M ∫ dr / r²

    U - U₀ = G m M (- r⁻¹)

We evaluate for

    U - U₀ = -G m M (1 / r_{f} -  1 /r_{i})

They indicate that for ri = ∞     U₀ = 0

    U = - G m M / r

If it takes a ball dropped from rest 2.261 s to fall to the ground, from what height H was it released? Express your answer in m
algol [13]

Answer:

Height, H = 25.04 meters

Explanation:

Initially the ball is at rest, u = 0

Time taken to fall to the ground, t = 2.261 s

Let H is the height from which the ball is released. It can be calculated using the second equation of motion as :

H=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, a = g

H=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2            

H=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (2.261)^2

H = 25.04 meters

So, the ball is released form a height of 25.04 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
