Calculate the mass of the Sun based on data for Earth’s orbit and compare the value obtained with the Sun’s actual mass.
Check Your Understanding There is another consideration to this last calculation of ME. We derived Equation 13.8 assuming that the satellite orbits around the center of the astronomical body at the same radius used in the expression for the gravitational force between them. What assumption is made to justify this? Earth is about 81 times more massive than the Moon. Does the Moon orbit about the exact center of Earth? Which is about 17,000 mph. Using Equation 13.8, the period is T=2r3GME=2( 6.37 10 6+4.00 10 5m)3(6.67 10 11N m 2 /kg 2)(5.96 10 24kg)=5.55103s
Check Your Understanding Earth exerts a tidal force on the Moon. Is it greater than, the same as, or less than that of the Moon on Earth? Be careful in your response, as tidal forces arise from the difference in gravitational forces between one side and the other. Look at the calculations we performed for the tidal force on Earth and consider the values that would change significantly for the Moon. The diameter of the Moon is one-fourth that of Earth. Tidal forces on the Moon are not easy to detect, since there is no liquid on the surface.
I0 orbits Jupiter with an average radius of 421,700 km and a period of 1.769 days. Based upon these data, what is tha mass of Jupiter?
How would the force of gravity between two masses be affected if the separation distance between them were (a) doubled? (b) decreased by one-half?
Asteroid Toutatis passed near Earth in 2006 at four times the distance to our Moon. This was the closest approach we will have until 2060. If if has mass of 5.01013kg , what force did it exert on Earth at its closest approach?
Astrology makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of one’s birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the gravitational force exerted on a 4.20-kg baby by a 100-kg father 0.200 m away at birth (he is assisting so he is close to the child). (b) Calculate the force on the baby due to jupiter if it is at its closest distance to Earth, some 6.291011m away. How does the force of Jupiter on the baby compare to the force of the father on the baby? Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.)
Estimate the gravitational force between two sumo wrestlers, with masses 220 kg and 240 kg, when they are embraced and their centers are 1.2 m apart.
