Question 1
Two point masses of m1 = 500 kg and m2 = 800 kg are separated by a distance of r = 2.0 m. Using Newton's law of universal gravitation with G = 6.674 x 10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2, what is the magnitude of the gravitational force between them?
Correct Answer:
6.67 x 10^-6 N
Question 2
Planet A orbits a star at a mean orbital radius rA, with an orbital period of TA = 8.0 years. Planet B orbits the same star at a mean orbital radius rB = 4 * rA. According to Kepler's Third Law (T^2 / r^3 = constant), what is the orbital period of Planet B?
Correct Answer:
64 years
Question 3
What is the gravitational field strength g at an altitude h = RE above the surface of the Earth, where RE is the Earth's radius and g0 = 9.80 m/s^2 is the surface gravitational acceleration?
Correct Answer:
2.45 m/s^2
Question 4
Which statement correctly describes the sign and physical interpretation of gravitational potential energy Ep = -G * M * m / r for a two-body bound system?
Correct Answer:
Ep is always negative because energy must be added to the system to separate the masses to infinity where Ep = 0.
Question 5
A satellite of mass m = 1000 kg orbits Earth in a circular path at distance r = 4 * RE from Earth's center. Given Earth's surface gravity g0 = 9.80 m/s^2 and RE = 6.37 x 10^6 m, what is the satellite's circular orbital speed?
Correct Answer:
3.95 km/s
