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.

Show that for eccentricity equal to one in Equation 13.10 for conic sections, the path is a parabola. Do this by substituting Cartersian coordinates, x and y, for the polar coordinates, r and , and showing that it has the general form for a parabola, x=ay2+by+c .

Using Figure 13.9, carefull sketch a free body diagram for the case of a simple pendulum hanging at latitude lambda, labeling all forces acting on the point mass,m. Set up the equations of motion for equilibrium, setting one coordinate in the direction of the centripetal accleration (toward P in the diagram), the other perpendicular to that. Show that the deflection angle , defined as the angle between the pendulum string and the radial direction toward the center of Earth, is given by the expression below. What is the deflection angle at latitude 45 degrees? Assume that Earth is a perfect sphere. tan(+)=gg2REtan , where is the angular velocity of Earth.
Check Your Understanding Assume you are in a spacecraft in orbit about the Sun at Earth’s orbit, but far away from Earth (so that it can be ignored). How could you redirect your tangential velocity to the radial direction such that you could then pass by Mars’s orbit? What would be required to change just the direction of the velocity?
Compute directly the gravitational force on a unit mass at a point exterior to a homogeneous sphere of matter.
Show that the period of orbit for two masses, m1 and m2 , in circular orbits of radii r1 and r2 , respectively, about their common center-of mass, is given by T=2r3G(m1+m2) where r=r1+r2 . (Hint: The masses orbit at radii r1 and r2 , respectively where r=r1+r2 . Use the expression for the center-of-mass to relate the two radii and note that the two masses must have equal but opposite momenta. Start with the relationship of the period to the circumference and speed of orbit for one of the masses. Use the result of the previous problem using momenta in the expression for the kinetic energy.)

The difference, v , at each point is the velocity boost or transfer velocity needed.
Given the perihelion distance, p , and aphelion distance, q , for an elliptical orbit, show that the velocity at perihelion, vp , is given by vp=2GMSun(q+p)qp . (Hint: Use conservation of angular momentum to relate vp and vq , and then substitute into the conservation fo energy equation.)
