Central Force

Central force is the force that acts along the center of mass of one body to the center of mass of another body. Its direction from or away from a point on a body to another is called the center of the force. Such forces include gravitational force between two massive objects or electrostatic forces between two charged particles. So from atoms to planets, the central forces play an important role in shaping our daily lives. One of the remarkable features of central forces is that they are conservative, i.e. the total energy of a central force system can always be expressed as a gradient of a potential energy function.

An artificial satellite orbiting the earth in a very thin atmosphere loses its energygradually due to dissipation against atmospheric resistance, however small. Whythen does its speed increase progressively as it comes closer and closer to the earth?
A spaceship with m = 1.00 ✕ 104 kg is in a circular orbit around the Earth, h = 800 km above its surface. The ship's captain fires the engines in a direction tangent to the orbit, and the spaceship assumes an elliptical orbit around the Earth with an apogee of d = 3.00 ✕ 104 km, measured from the Earth's center. How much energy (in J) must be used from the fuel to achieve this orbit? (Assume that all the fuel energy goes into increasing the orbital energy and that the perigee distance is equal to the initial radius.)
A satellite from the Glonass navigation system weighs 7,350 N on the surface of Earth. How much work is donein propelling the satellite from the surface of the Earth to a medium Earth orbit (MEO) of 19,000 km above Earth’ssurface? Use 6,371 km as the radius of Earth. (Express the result with unit N·km rounded to the nearest integer.)

Find the difference in gravitational potential energy for Sputnik I as it moved from apogee to perigee?

Suppose an object is set sliding, with a speed less than escape velocity, on an infinite frictionless plane in contact with the surface of Earth, as shown. Describe its motion.

A lunar module weighs 12 metric tons on the surface of the Earth. How much work is done in propelling the module from the surface of the moon to a height of 50 miles?

A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ? = 2.67 × 106 g/m3 and volume V =1.71 × 1012 m3. Recall that the universal gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 (Nm2)/(kg2).
Equal work is carried out on two bodies A and B, initially at rest, and whose masses are M and 2M respectively. The relationship between their speed immediately after the completion of the work is:
