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.

Suppose the gravitational acceleration at the surface of a certain moon A of Jupiter is 2 m/s2. Moon B has twice the mass and twice the radius of moon A. What is the gravitational acceleration at its surface? Neglect the gravitational acceleration due to Jupiter, (a) 8 m/s2 (b) 4 m/s2 (c) 2 m/s2 (d) 1 m/s2 (e) 0.5 m/s2
A single-stage rocket of mass 308 metric tons (not including fuel) carries a payload of 3150 kg to low-Earth orbit. The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c. Because the exhaust speed of the redesigned rocket is increased by a factor of two, why is the fuel consumption of the redesigned rocket not exactly half that of the original rocket?
Two stars of masses M and m, separated by a distance d, revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass (Fig. P11.50). Show that each star has a period given by T2=42d3G(M+m) Proceed as follows: Apply Newtons second law to each star. Note that the center-of-mass condition requires that Mr2 = mr1, where r1 + r2 = d.
Saturns ring system forms a relatively thin, circular disk in the equatorial plane of the planet. The inner radius of the ring system is approximately 92,000 km from the center of the planet, and the outer edge is about 137,000 km from the center of the planet. The mass of Saturn itself is 5.68 1026 kg. a. What is the period of a particle in the outer edge compared with the period of a particle in the inner edge? b. How long does it take a particle in the inner edge to move once around Saturn? c. While this inner-edge particle is completing one orbit abound Saturn, how far around Saturn does a particle on the outer edge move?
(a) Given that the period of the Moons orbit about the Earth is 27.32 days and the nearly constant distance between the center of the Earth and the center of the Moon is 3.84 108 m, use Equation 13.11 to calculate the mass of the Earth. (b) Why is the value you calculate a bit too large?
For many years, astronomer Percival Lowell searched for a Planet X that might explain some of the perturbations observed in the orbit of Uranus. These perturbations were later explained when the masses of the outer planets and planetoids, particularly Neptune, became better measured (Voyager 2). At the time, however, Lowell had proposed the existence of a Planet X that orbited the Sun with a mean distance of 43 AU. With what period would this Planet X orbit the Sun?
(Gauss's Law for Mass) Journey through the Center of the Earth. A 1024-kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z-position of 5.5 x 106 m through the center of a planet with radius 7.6 x 106 m. If the mass of the planet is 36.7 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at time t = 4 s?
Jupiter has a mass of 1.9 x 1027 kg—more than twice that of all the other planets in the solar system combined. Its average distance from the sun is 7.78 x 1011 m. If the sun has a mass of 1.99 x 1030 kg and a radius of 6.96 x 108 m, how far from the center of the sun would you find the center of mass of the Jupiter-sun system? (Since Jupiter is so much more massive than the other planets, this position essentially represents the center of mass of the solar system as a whole.)
The mass of Venus is 4.87 ✕ 1024 kg, and the mass of Mars is 6.42 ✕ 1023 kg. The average distance of separation, measured between their centers, is 1.20 ✕ 108 km. (a) Locate the center of mass (in m) of the Venus-Mars system as measured from the center of Venus. m from Venus's center (b) Is the center of mass of the system located within Venus? (Assume Venus has a radius of 6.05 ✕ 106 m.) Yes? No?
In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?
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?
