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.)
Respond to each statement, true or false: (a) No force of gravity acts on an astronaut in an orbiting space station. (b) At three Earth radii from the center of Earth, the acceleration of gravity is one-ninth its surface value. (c) If two identical planets, each with surface gravity g and volume V, coalesce into one planet with volume 2V, the surface gravity of the new planet is 2g. (d) One kilogram of gold would have greater value on Earth than on the Moon.
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.)
What is the difference between the force on a 1.0-kg mass on the near side of I0 has mean radius of 1821 km and a mean orbital radius about Jupiter of 421,700 km. (b) Compare this difference to that calculated for the difference for Earth due to the Moon calculated in Example 13.14. Tidal forces are the cause of I0 ’s volcanic activity.
