Evil space aliens drop you and your fellow astronomy student 1 km apart out in space, very far from any star or planet. Discuss the effects of gravity on each of you.
The space station is at 400km altitude, and the earth radius is 6378km. Calculate g in the space station. How can you explain that the astronauts are weightless?
Summarize two observations that are contrary to the predictions based on Newton’s laws but that confirm Einstein’s explanation of gravity. Indicate how the predictions based on Newton’s theory differ from Einstein’s.
Discusses the importance of general relativity to satellite mapping. How are satellites being used to determine natural resources such as deposits of iron, groundwater, and schools of fish, to name a few? Why does the gravitational force vary at different points in a satellite’s orbit? How does this relate to what you’ve studied about gravitation? Be sure to cite your sources.
The scientist Archimedes is famed to have once said “Give me a lever long enough and I’ll move the world”. Let us assume that Archimedes is approximately (60 kg) and the world has a mass of approximately (6×1024kg). If the fulcrum of our lever is (1 m) away from the Earth’s side, how long is our lever? (Assume that all of this takes place on an infinite plane with Earth surface gravity.) (Give your answer in units of the distance to the galaxy Andromeda which is 770 kpc away. You will need to convert from meters.)
F=Gm1m2d2 Calculate the force of gravity on the 0.80-kgkg mass if it were 1.3×107 mm above Earth's surface (that is, if it were three Earth radii from Earth's center).
1.) In what way(s) is Einstein's general theory of relativity superior to Newton's theory of universal gravitation? For each way, give an example of a case where Einstein's theory provides a more accurate description of physical phenomena than does Newton's. (Select all that apply.) A.) Newton's theory originally held that the orbit of a spherical object about another will be an open curve for which the point of closest approach slowly precesses. Einstein's theory correctly predicts that gravitational forces lead to orbits of closed ellipses. B.) Einstein's theory correctly predicts the deflection of light passing near a massive object, while Newton's theory predicts a deflection that is one-half the observed deflection. C.) Einstein's theory correctly predicts that the orbit of a spherical object about another will be an open curve for which the point of closest approach slowly precesses. Newton's theory originally held that gravitational forces lead to orbits of closed…
What is a gravitational field, and how can its presence be detected?
What is a gravitational wave and why was it so hard to detect?
Respond to each statement, true or false: (a) No force of gravity acts on an astronaut in an orbiting space station. (b) At three Earth radii from the center of Earth, the acceleration of gravity is one-ninth its surface value. (c) If two identical planets, each with surface gravity g and volume V, coalesce into one planet with volume 2V, the surface gravity of the new planet is 2g. (d) One kilogram of gold would have greater value on Earth than on the Moon.
Einstein’s general theory of relativity made or allowed us to make predictions about the outcome of several experiments that had not yet been carried out at the time the theory was first published. Describe three experiments that verified the predictions of the theory after Einstein proposed it.
1. Why is mass more fundamental than weight? 2. What comes first to your mind when you read the word gravity?
