At what altitude above the surface of the carth the acceleration of gravity (free fall) is 0.875 of its value at the surface? 7. Note that: Radius of Earth is Re 6.37 x 106 m Mass of Earth is Me-5.98 x 1024 kg Gravitational Constant G- 6.67 x 101l N.m'/kg
A space elevator has an altitude above the Earth's surface of 40,000 km. What would be the kinetic energy of a 1kg mass at the end of our space elevator? What would be the gravitational potential energy of that mass? If the 1 kg object fell all the way down to the Earth's surface, what would be its speed just before impact? (The radius of Earth is 6.4 x 106 m).
1. For the earth, an estimate of the variation of pressure with altitude above the surface of the earth is made for a gas of molecular weight, M, assuming the atmosphere is isothermal, the variation of g with altitude is negligible, and that the atmosphere behaves like an ideal gas. A significant error in this estimate arises from the assumption that the temperature of the atmosphere, T, is isothermal instead of decreasing with altitude. This decrease with altitude y in...
A satellite has a mass of 92 kg and is located at 1.99 106 m above the surface of Earth.(a) What is the potential energy associated with the satellite at this location?(b) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force on the satellite?
Task 2 (Gravitational Potential of the Earth) In good approximation, the earth can be regarded as a sphere of homogenous mass density with radius R and total mass M. The gravitational potential of a mass m which has a distance r to the center of the earth is given by GMm , r>R U(r) 2R where Eo and G are constants a) Calculate the force F(r) which acts on a mass m at the earth's surface Hint: The gradient of...
A satellite has a mass of 109 kg and is located at 1.97 106 m above the surface of Earth. (a) What is the potential energy associated with the satellite at this location? J (b) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force on the satellite?
As a body is projected to a high altitude above the earths surface, the variation of the acceleration of gravity with respect to alitude y must be taken into account. Neglecting air resistance, this acceleration is determined from the formula a -go R2 /(R + ν , where g.-9.81 m/s 2 e constant gravita or al acceleration at se a la e R-E 56 m s e radius of he earth and the positive d rection is measured upward.

2. A rocket of mass m is fired vertically from the Earth, with an initial speed U. It rises to a height R/2 before falling back to Earth, where R is the radius of the Earth. Calculate U in terms of G, M (the Earth's mass) and R. The rocket is fired with the same initial speed, but this time at an angle 45° to the horizontal. Calculate its angular momentum J and total energy E, and use these to...
