5. How much more kinetic energy is required
for an object in Case E. to escape the
Earth's gravitational field so that it would
stop at infinity. Express your answer in
terms of EG
Transcribed Image Text:5. How much more kinetic energy is required for an object in Case E. to escape the Earth's gravitational field so that it would stop at infinity. Express your answer in terms of EG
Case E: Kinetic Energy of Object in Orbit: Ex = - ½ Eg
%3D
Special Case (Kinetic Energy is Less than
Binding Energy)
Circular motion
Only force is gravity
Velocity is constant and tangential and depends
on r
Kinetic energy is constant and ultimately
depends on r
E, = Ex + EG = ½ EG
E = - ½ EG
Vorb = sqr root ( (GM=m) /r)
