Suppose astronomers find an earthlike planet that is twice the size of Earth (that is, its radius is twice that of Earth’s). What must be the mass of this planet such that the gravitational force (Fgravity) at the surface would be identical to Earth’s?
Explain, in terms of the properties of the four basic forces, why people notice the gravitational force acting on bodies fit it is such a comparatively weak force.
An object of mass m is located on the surface of a spherical planet of mass M and radius R. The escape speed from the planet does not depend on which of the following? (a) M (b) m (c) the density of the planet (d) R (e) the acceleration due to gravity on that planet
Assuming a circular orbit for the Sun about the center of the Milky Way galaxy, calculate its orbital Speed using the following information: The mass of the galaxy is equivalent to a single mass times that at the Sun (or located 30,000 ly away.
Two friends are having a conversation. Anna says a satellite in orbit is in free tall because the satellite keeps falling toward Earth. Tom says a satellite in orbit is not in free fall because the acceleration due to gravity is not 9.80m/s2 . Who do you agree with and why?
