Figure P7.45 shows a picture of American astronaut Clay Anderson experiencing weightlessness on board the International Space Station. a. Most people have the misconception that a person in a spacecraft is weightless because he or she is no longer affected by gravity. Show that this premise cannot be true by computing the gravitational field of the Earth at an altitude of 200 km the typical altitude of a spacecraft in orbit. Compare this result with the gravitational field on the surface of the Earth. b. Why would astronauts in orbit experience weightlessness even if they are experiencing a gravitational field (and therefore a gravitational force)?
Give reasons for the answers to each of the following questions: (a) Clan a normal force be horizontal? (b) Can a normal force be directed vertically downward? (c) Consider a tennis ball in contact with a stationary floor and with nothing else. Can the normal force be different in magnitude from the gravitational force exerted on the ball? (d) Can the force exerted by the floor on the hall be different in magnitude from the force the ball exerts on the floor?
A ball is falling toward the ground. Which of the following statements are false? (a) The force that the ball exerts on Earth is equal in magnitude to the force that Earth exerts on the ball, (b) The ball undergoes the same acceleration as Earth. (c) The magnitude of the force the Earth exerts on the ball is greater than the magnitude of the force the ball exerts on the Earth.
The gravitational force exerted on an astronaut on the Earths surface is 650 N directed downward. When she is in the space station in orbit around the Earth, is the gravitational force on her (a) larger, (b) exactly the same, (c) smaller, (d) nearly but not exactly zero, or (e) exactly zero?
A person stands on a spring scale in an elevator car as shown in Figure 5.5. Which of these sourcesthe Earth, spring scale, elevator car. and cableexert an external force if the system consists of: a. Only the person? b. The person and the spring scale? c. The person, the spring scale, and the elevator car? FIGURE 5.5
Which of the following is the reaction force to the gravitational force acting on your body as you sit in your desk chair? (a) the normal force from the chair (b) the force you apply downward on the seat of the chair (c) neither of these forces
A ball is falling toward the ground. Which of the following statements are false? (a) The force that the ball exerts on Earth is equal in magnitude to the force that Earth exerts on the ball, (b) The ball undergoes the same acceleration as Earth. (c) The magnitude of the force the Earth exerts on the ball is greater than the magnitude of the force the ball exerts on the Earth.
In the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (m1m2) . While all scientific conjectures must be experimentally verified, can you provided arguments as to why this must be? (You may wish to consider simple examples in which any other form would lead to contradictory results.)
A satellite of mass 16.7 kg in geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 3.58 104 km above the Earths surface remains above the same spot on the Earth. Assume its orbit is circular. Find the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the satellite. Hint: The answer is not 163 N.
An object of mass m moves with acceleration a down a rough incline. Which of the following forces should appear in a free-body diagram of the object? Choose all correct answers, (a) the gravitational force exerted by the planet (b) ma in the direction of motion (c) the normal force exerted by the incline (d) the friction force exerted by the incline (e) the force exerted by the object on the incline
Unreasonable Result A mountain 10.0 km from a person exerts a gravitational force on him equal to 2.00% of his weight. (a) Calculate the mass of the mountain. (b) Compare the mountain's mass with that of Earth. (c) What is unreasonable about these results? (d) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent? (Note that accurate gravitational measurements can easily detect the effect of nearby mountains and variations in local geology.)
