- Consider two iron spheres, each of diameter 195 mm, which are just touching. At what distance r from the center of the earth will the force of mutual attraction between the contacting spheres be equal to the force exerted by the earth on one of the spheres? Answer: r = (107)kmarrow_forwardThe escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with which an object of mass m must move to escape from the gravitational attraction of a much larger body, such as a planet of total mass M. The escape velocity is a function of the distance of the object from the center of the planet R, but unless otherwise specified this distance is taken to be the radius of the planet because it addresses the question "How fast does my rocket have to go to escape from the surface of the planet?" The key to making a concise mathematical definition of escape velocity is to consider the energy. If an object is launched at its escape velocity, what is the total mechanical energy Etotal of the object at a very large (i.e., infinite) distance from the planet? Follow the usual convention and take the gravitational potential energy to be zero at very large distances. ► View Available Hint(s) Etotal = Submit Part B Consider the motion of an object between a point close to the planet and a point very…arrow_forward*13-128.
