Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

What is the gravitational acceleration close to the surface of a planet with a mass of 2ME and radius of 2RE where ME, and RE are the mass and radius of Earth, respectively? Answer as a multiple of g, the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration near Earths surface. (See Section 7.5.)
Review. The first stage of a Saturn V space vehicle consumed fuel and oxidizer at the rate of 150 104 kg/s with an exhaust speed of 2.60 101 m/s. (a) Calculate the thrust produced by this engine. (b) Find the acceleration the vehicle had just as it lifted off the launch pad on the Earth, taking the vehicles initial mass as 3.00 106 kg.
Two identical particles, each of mass 1 000 kg, are coasting in free space along the same path, one in front of the other by 20.0 m. At the instant their separation distance has this value, each particle has precisely the same velocity of 800 m/s. What are their precise velocities when they are 2.00 m apart? Figure P13 74
Imagine that nitrogen and other atmospheric gases were more soluble in water so that the atmosphere of the Earth is entirely absorbed by the oceans. Atmospheric pressure would then be zero, and outer space would start at the planets surface. Would the Earth then have a gravitational field? (a) Yes, and at the surface it would be larger in magnitude than 9.8 N/kg. (b) Yes, and it would be essentially the same as the current value. (c) Yes, and it would be somewhat less than 9.8 N/kg. (d) Yes, and it would be much less than 9.8 N/kg. (e) No, it would not.
When a star dies, much of its mass may collapse into a single point known as a black hole. The gravitational force of a black hole on surrounding astronomical objects can be very great. Astronomers estimate the strength of this force by observing the orbits of such objects around a black hole. What is the gravitational force exerted by a black hole on a 1-solar-mass star whose orbit has a 1.4 1010 m radius and a period of 5.6 days?
The mass of Jupiter is 314 times that of Earth and the diameter of Jupiter is 11.35 times that of the Earth. If 'g' has a value of 9.8m/s2 on the Earth, what is the value on the Jupiter?
Jupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system) that eject material as high as 500 kmkm (or even higher) above the surface. Io has a mass of 8.93×10^22kg and a radius of 1821 km. How high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io? (RE = 6370 km, m_E=5.96×10^24kg) Express your answer with the appropriate units.

An asteroid has a mass of m = 2.6 x 106 kg and is approaching Earth. When the asteroid is exactly 3 radii away from the Earth's centre, it's speed relative to the Earth's centre is u = 8.7 x 103 ms-1. The asteroid then falls to the Earth's surface, but remains intact without dissipating any energy as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. If the rotation of the asteroid and the Earth is ignored, what is the kinetic energy of the asteroid just before it hits the ground? The Earth has mass ME = 5.98 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6.38 x 106 m. To find the relevant potential energies, you must use G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2
