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.

A Molniya orbit is a highly eccentric orbit of a communication satellite so as to provide continuous communications coverage for Scandinavian countries and adjacent Russia. The orbit is positioned so that these countries have the satellite in view for extended periods in time (see below). If a satellite in such an orbit has an apogee at 40,000.0 km as measured from the center of Earth and a velocity of 3.0 km/s, what would be its velocity at perigee measured at 200.0 km altitude?
A pendulum consists of a small object called a bob hanging from a light cord of fixed length, with the top end of the cord fixed, as represented in Figure OQ5.6. The bob moves without friction, swinging equally high on both sides. It moves from its turning point A through point B and reaches its maximum speed at point C. (a) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero radial acceleration and zero tangential acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (b) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero tangential acceleration and zero radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (c) Is there a point where the bob has no acceleration? If so, which point? (d) Is there a point where the bob has both nonzero tangential and radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? Figure OQ5.6
If a spacecraft is headed for the outer solar system, it may require several gravitational slingshots with planets in the inner solar system.

An Earth satellite has its apogee at 2500 km above the surface of Earth and perigee at 500 km above the surface of Earth. At apogee its speed is 730 m/s. What is its speed at perigee? Earth’s radius is 6370 km (see below).

Using the technique shown in Satellite Orbits and Energy, show that two masses m1 and m2 in circular orbits about their common center of mass, will have total energy E=K+E=K1+K2Gm1m2r=Gm1m22r . We have shown the kinetic energy of both masses explicitly. (Hint: The masses orbit at radii r1 and r2 , respectively, where r=r1+r2 . Be sure not to confuse the radius needed for centripetal acceleration with that for the gravitational force.)

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.)
