- In your own words, describe the difference between the terms gravitational force and gravitational field.arrow_forwardA massive black hole is believed to exist at the center of our galaxy (and most other spiral galaxies). Since the 1990s, astronomers have been tracking the motions of several dozen stars in rapid motion around the center. Their motions give a clue to the size of this black hole. a. One of these stars is believed to be in an approximately circular orbit with a radius of about 1.50 103 AU and a period of approximately 30 yr. Use these numbers to determine the mass of the black hole around which this star is orbiting, b. What is the speed of this star, and how does it compare with the speed of the Earth in its orbit? How does it compare with the speed of light?arrow_forwardReview. A student proposes to study the gravitational force by suspending two 100.0-kg spherical objects at the lower ends of tables from the ceiling of a tall cathedral and measuring the deflection of the cables from the vertical. The 45.00-m-long cables are attached to the ceiling 1.000 m apart. The first object is suspended, and its position is carefully measured. The second object is suspended, and the two objects attract each other gravitationally. By what distance has the first objet I moved horizontally from its initial position due to the gravitational attraction to the other object? Suggestion: Keep in mind that this distance will be very small and make appropriate approximations.arrow_forward
- Two black holes (the remains of exploded stars), separated by a distance of 10.0 AU (1 AU = 1.50 1011 m), attract one another with a gravitational force of 8.90 1025 N. The combined mass of the two black holes is 4.00 1030 kg. What is the mass of each black hole?arrow_forwardEinstein concluded that gravity is the warping of the geometry of space-time based on the presence of matter. He published this theory—known as the general theory of relativity—in 1915. Einstein based the theory entirely on mathematics. He suggested a way of putting it to the test. He knew that the sun has a strong gravitational field. Its mass (about 1.99 × 10 30 kilograms) should not only affect the orbits of its planets but anything nearby. According to relativity, the sun’s gravitational field should bend light traveling to Earth from distant stars. Explain this in simpler terms.arrow_forwardIn introductory physics laboratories, a typical Cavendish balance for measuring the gravitational constant G uses lead spheres with masses of 1.30 kg and 13.0 g whose centers are separated by about 3.30 cm. Calculate the gravitational force between these spheres, treating each as a particle located at the center of the spherearrow_forward

What must the radius of the spheres be such that the gravitational force among them is exactly 1.00 Newtons of force? Recall that the density of Gold is ρAU = 19, 300 kg/m^3, while the magnitude of the gravita- tional force among the spheres is given by the Universal Law of Gravitation: Fg =G*(M1*M2)/ d2 where d is the distance between the geometric centers of the gold spheres.

They are about 5.29*10^-11 m apart in a hydrogen atom. What gravitational force exists between the proton and electron of a hydrogen atom?arrow_forwardThe active gravitational mass (m^) of a particle is an attribute that enables it to establish a gravitational field in space, whereas the passive gravitational mass (m") is an attribute that enables the particle to respond to this field. (a) Write Newton's law of universal gravitation in terms of the relevant active and passive gravitational masses. (b) Show that the third law of motion makes it unnecessary to distinguish between active and passive gravitational mass.arrow_forward
