- Imagine that nitrogen and other atmospheric gases were more soluble in water so that the atmosphere of the Earth is entirely absorbed by the oceans. Atmospheric pressure would then be zero, and outer space would start at the planets surface. Would the Earth then have a gravitational field? (a) Yes, and at the surface it would be larger in magnitude than 9.8 N/kg. (b) Yes, and it would be essentially the same as the current value. (c) Yes, and it would be somewhat less than 9.8 N/kg. (d) Yes, and it would be much less than 9.8 N/kg. (e) No, it would not.arrow_forwardCompare the gravitational attraction between objects on earth and interaction of celestial bodies in space.

- You may have an image of Sir Isaac Newton sitting under a tree and after being hit on the head by an apple he suddenly "discovered" the Law of Universal Gravitation. In fact, the theory was a result of years’ worth of research, which in turn was based on centuries of accumulated knowledge. He is credited with determining that the following relationship is universal. The gravitational attraction between two objects varies jointly with their masses (m1 and m2) and inversely with the square of the distance (d) between them. By what percent does the force of gravitational attraction change if one mass is increased by 20%, the other mass decreased by 20%, and the separation is reduced by 25%?arrow_forwardQuestion 4 of 7 GMm where If the gravitational force between two objects of mass M and m, separated by a distancer, has magnitude G = 6.67 × 10-1" m°kg¬'s¯², then the work required to increase the separation from a distance r¡ to a distance r2 is GMm(r,' – r,'). Compute the work required to move a 1500-kg satellite from an orbit 1000 km above the surface of Earth to an orbit 1500 km above the surface of Earth. Assume that Earth is a sphere of radius R = 6.37 × 10° m and mass M. = 5.98 × 1024 kg. Treat the satellite as a point mass.
