Assume a planet is a uniform sphere of radius R that (somehow) has a narrow radial tunnel through its center. Also assume we can position an apple anywhere along the tunnel or outside the sphere. Let FR be the magnitude of the gravitational force on the apple when it is located at the planet's surface. How far from the surface (what multiple of R) is there a point where the magnitude of the gravitational force on the apple is 0.3...
A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density ρ. ( R2 is measured from the center of the planet, not its surface.) Use G for the universal gravitational constant.A) Find the kinetic energy of this satellite, KExpress the satellite's kinetic energy in terms of G, m, π, R1, R2, and ρ.B) Find U, the gravitational potential energy of the satellite.

Hydrostatic Balance equation applied to planet interior structure: For lower mass rocky planets up to a few times the mass of the Earth, one can assume that the density p of the material making the planet is constant at any radius through the planet's interior. We want to evaluate the pressure at each radius r in the interior of such a planet. Using the hydrostatic balance equation we derived in class, we can slightly rewrite this relation for any interior...
2. Assume the earth is a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R. (Its mass-density ρ--M/V is therefore constant.) a) Find the force of gravity exerted on a point mass m located inside the earth, as a function of its distance from the earth's centre. (You may make use of results derived in class for a thin spherical shell.) b) Find the difference in the gravitational potential energy of the mass, between the centre of the earth and the...

(7%) Problem 14: A spherical rain drop of radius R and mass M falls vertically through a cloud layer. The drop enters the cloud layer at a height H from the ground and exits the cloud at a height h. While inside the cloud the drop accumulates water molecules so that its mass and size grow with time. The mass of the rain drop at time t when inside the cloud is given as follows: m(t) = M + at...
