Chapter 44, Problem 43P
SSM Suppose that the radius of the Sun were increased to 5.90 × 1012 m (the average radius of the orbit of Pluto), that the density of this expanded Sun were uniform, and that the planets revolved within this tenuous object. (a) Calculate Earth’s orbital speed in this new configuration. (b) What is the ratio of the orbital speed calculated in (a) to Earth’s present orbital speed of 29.8 km/s? Assume that the radius of Earth’s orbit remains unchanged. (c) What would be Earth’s new period of revolution? (The Sun’s mass remains unchanged.)

A 1024-kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z-position of 2.1 x 106 m through the center of a planet with a radius of 7.7 x 106 m. If the mass of the planet is 46.5 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at time t = 6 s?arrow_forwardAstronomical observations of our Milky Way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8 ✕ 1011 solar masses. A star orbiting near the galaxy's periphery is 5.8 ✕ 104 light years from its center. (a) What should the orbital period (in y) of that star be? y (b) If its period is 7.0 ✕ 107 y instead, what is the mass (in solar masses) of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of "dark matter" in the universe and have indicated, for example, the existence of very massive black holes at the centers of some galaxies. solar massesarrow_forward

Calculate the gravitational force between these spheres, treating each as a particle located at the center of the spherearrow_forwardTwo stars M1 and M2 of equal mass make up a binary star system. They move in a circular orbit that has its center at the midpoint of the line that separates them. If M1 = M2 = 6.95 sm (solar mass), and the orbital period of each star is 2.45 days, find their orbital speed. (The mass of the sun is 1.99 1030 kg.)arrow_forward
- Consider a pulsar, a collapsed star of extremely high density, with a mass M equal to that of the Sun (1.98 × 1030 kg), a radius R of only 17.4 km, and a rotational period T of 0.0448 s. By what percentage does the free-fall acceleration g differ from the gravitational acceleration ag at the equator of this spherical star?arrow_forwardShow that the velocity of a star orbiting its galaxy in a circular oibit is inversely proportional to the square root of its orbital radius, assuming the mass of the stars inside its orbit acts like a single mass at the center of the galaxy. You may use an equation from a previous chapter to support your conclusion, but you must justify its use and define all terms used.arrow_forwardA spacecraft in the shape of a long cylinder has a length of 100 m, and its mass with occupants is 1 000 kg. Ii has strayed too close to a black hole having a mass 100 times that of the Sun (Fig. P11.11). The nose of the spacecraft points toward the black hole, and the distance between the nose and the center of the black hole is 10.0 km. (a) Determine the total force on the spacecraft. (b) What is the difference in the gravitational fields acting on the occupants in the nose of the ship and on those in the rear of the ship, farthest from the black hole? (This difference in accelerations grows rapidly as the ship approaches the black hole. It puts the body of the ship under extreme tension and eventually tears it apart.)arrow_forward
