Question 1
Two point masses m1 and m2 are initially separated by a distance r, exerting a gravitational force F on each other. If the separation distance is doubled to 2r while keeping the masses constant, what is the new gravitational force between them?
Correct Answer:
0.25 F
Question 2
According to Kepler's third law of planetary motion, how does the orbital period T of a planet orbiting the Sun relate to its semi-major axis r?
Correct Answer:
T^2 is directly proportional to r^3.
Question 3
A planet has twice the mass of Earth (M_p = 2 M_E) and twice the radius of Earth (R_p = 2 R_E). If the surface gravitational acceleration on Earth is g_E, what is the surface gravitational acceleration g_p on this planet?
Correct Answer:
0.5 g_E
Question 4
Why is the gravitational potential energy U = -G M m / r defined with a negative sign when using the standard reference point at infinity?
Correct Answer:
Because work must be done against the attractive gravitational force to move a mass to infinity, where U = 0.
Question 5
Kepler's second law (law of equal areas) is a direct consequence of which fundamental conservation law?
Correct Answer:
Conservation of angular momentum
