Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.
An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).
The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:
ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2
Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:
acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2
Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:
(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2
Which implies:
r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.
This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.
This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.
Answer:
Explanation:
- The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²
- where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.
- The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh
- The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.
- The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2
- Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.
2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;
I = mR²
The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.
