Q08. Gravity Suppose you have a pendulum clock which keeps correct time on Earth (acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2). Without changing the clock, you take it to the Moon (acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s2). For every hour interval (on Earth) the Moon clock will record: (9.8/1.6) h 1 h (1.6/9.8) h The mass density of a certain planet has spherical symmetry but varies in such a way that the mass inside every spherical surface with center at the center of the planet is proportional to the radius of the surface. If r is the distance from the center of the planet to a point mass inside the planet, the gravitational force on the mass is : not dependent on r proportional to r2 proportional to r proportional to 1/ r proportional to 1/ r2 Mass inside radius R : ? Force due to mass shell beyond m vanishes. Force due to mass sphere beneath m is the same as if it’s a point mass M(r) placed at the center. Each of the four corners of a square with edge a is occupied by a point mass m. There is a fifth mass, also m, at the center of the square. To remove the mass from the center to a point far away the work that must be done by an external agent is given by : 4Gm2/a –4Gm2/a (4?2) Gm2/a –(4?2) Gm2/a 4Gm2/a2 Potential energy of m at center of square is : To bring it to infinity, where requires work A projectile is fired straight upward from Earths surface with a speed that is half the escape speed. If R is the radius of Earth, the highest altitude reached, measured from the surface, is R/4 R/3 R/2 R 2R By definition: Maximum height H is given by: ? ( Energy conservation ) An object is dropped from an altitude of one Earth radius above Earths surface. If M is the mass of Earth and R is its radius the speed of the object just before it hits Earth is given by : Energy conservation : A planet in another solar system orbits a star with a mass of 4.0 ? 1030 kg.
