1. Consider a space shuttle which has a mass of about 1.0 x 10 kg and circles the Earth at an altitude of about 200.0 km. Calculate the force of gravity that the space shuttle experiences. (for the mass of the earth refer to the reference table page 1)
Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.
![Universal Law of Gravitation Worksheet
Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation (first stated by Newton): any two masses
m¡ and m, exert an attractive gravitational force on each other according to
m, m,
F = G
r2
m,
This applies to all masses, not just big ones.
G = universal constant of gravitation = 6.67 · 10-" N m² / kg² (G is very
small, so it is very difficult to measure!) Don't confuse G with g: "Big G" and
"little g" are totally different things.
Practice problems:
1. Consider a space shuttle which has a mass of about 1.0 x 10 kg and circles
the Earth at an altitude of about 200.0 km. Calculate the force of gravity that
the space shuttle experiences. (for the mass of the earth refer to the reference
table page 1)
2. What is the gravitational force between two identical 50,000 kg asteroids
whose centers of mass are separated by 1000 m?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F29a7842e-2711-4230-ba83-0eac6e58cce1%2Fdebe3f18-40e0-40fd-9acf-667a6e46647a%2F6zqgbot_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
