Question 1
Two point masses m1 and m2 are separated by a distance R, exerting a gravitational force F on each other. If m1 is doubled and the distance between them is doubled to 2R, what is the new gravitational force F' in terms of F?
Correct Answer:
0.5 F
Question 2
The gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface is g0 = 9.80 m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration g at an altitude h equal to Earth's radius (h = R_E)?
Correct Answer:
2.45 m/s^2
Question 3
A satellite of mass m = 500 kg orbits Earth in a circular orbit at an altitude h = R_E (where R_E = 6.37 x 10^6 m and Earth's mass M_E = 5.97 x 10^24 kg, G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2). What is the orbital speed of the satellite?
Correct Answer:
5.59 x 10^3 m/s
Question 4
A planet orbits a star with an orbital period T1 = 8 years at a mean orbital radius r1. A second planet orbits the same star at a mean orbital radius r2 = 4 * r1. According to Kepler's Third Law, what is the orbital period T2 of the second planet?
Correct Answer:
64 years
Question 5
A space probe of mass m = 200 kg is moved from Earth's surface (r1 = R_E = 6.37 x 10^6 m) to an altitude h = 2*R_E (r2 = 3*R_E). Taking M_E = 5.97 x 10^24 kg and G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2, what is the change in gravitational potential energy delta U of the probe?
Correct Answer:
8.33 x 10^9 J
