Answer :
(d).None of these because The
gravitational force exerted by the
Earth on the Moon provides a net
force that causes the Moons
centripetal acceleration.
Answer :
(e). One fourth as large as that on
moon 1 because the gravitational
force follows an inverse-square
behavior, so doubling the distance
causes the force to be one fourth as
large.

Answer :
(c).is slightly less than 9.80 m/s2
because an object in orbit is simply
falling while it moves around the
Earth. The acceleration of the object
is that due to gravity. Because the
object was launched from a very tall
mountain, the value for g is slightly
less than that at the surface.

Answer :
(a). greater than a year . Because Keplers
third law ,which applies to all the planets,
tells us that the period of a planet is
proportional to a3/2. Because Pluto is
farther from the Sun than the Earth, it has
a longer period. The Suns gravitational
field is much weaker at Pluto than it is at
the Earth. Thus, this planet experiences
much less centripetal acceleration than
the Earth does, and it has a
correspondingly longer period.
Answer :
(a). There is a possibility of a collision
because from Keplers third law and the
given period, the major axis of the
asteroid can be calculated. It is found to
be 1.2 # 1011 m. Because this is smaller
than the EarthSun distance, the asteroid
cannot possibly collide with the Earth.
Answer :
(b). b. vp ! 4va because from conservation of
angular momentum, mvprp ! mvara, so
that vp ! (ra/rp)va ! (4D/D)va ! 4va.

Answer :
(a) Perihelion. Because of conservation of angular momentum,
the speed of the comet is highest at its closest
position to the Sun.
(b) Aphelion. The potential energy
of the cometSun system is highest when the comet is at
its farthest distance from the Sun.
(c) Perihelion. The kinetic
energy is highest at the point at which the speed of
the comet is highest.
(d) All points. The total energy of
the system is the same regardless of where the comet is in
its orbit.
Escape Speed
Suppose an object of mass m is projected
vertically upward from the Earths surface
with an initial speed
vi
We can use energy considerations to find the
minimum value of the initial speed needed to
allow the object to move infinitely far away
from the Earth.

Black Holes
An even more unusual star death may occur
when the core has a mass greater than about
three solar masses. The collapse may
continue until the star becomes a vey small
object in space, commonly reffered to as a
black hole.
Rs
Although light from a black hole cannot escape, light from events
taking place near the black hole should be visible.
For example, it is possible for a binary star system to consist of
one normal star and one black hole. Material surrounding the
ordinary star can be pulled into the black hole, forming an
accretion disk around the black hole.
