Central Force

Central force is the force that acts along the center of mass of one body to the center of mass of another body. Its direction from or away from a point on a body to another is called the center of the force. Such forces include gravitational force between two massive objects or electrostatic forces between two charged particles. So from atoms to planets, the central forces play an important role in shaping our daily lives. One of the remarkable features of central forces is that they are conservative, i.e. the total energy of a central force system can always be expressed as a gradient of a potential energy function.

In 2000, NASA placed a satellite in orbit around an asteroid. Consider a spherical asteroid with a mass of 1.40×1016 kg and a radius of 8.20 km What is the speed of a satellite orbiting 4.90 km above the surface? What is the escape speed from the asteroid?
The estimated mass and radius of Planet X are used to calculate the minimum escape speed, Ve, for an object launched from the surface of the planet. If the actual mass and/or radius of the planet are slightly different from the estimated values, how will the actual escape speed Va for the surface of Planet X compare to Ve ? v_a v_c if the actual mass is less and the actual radius is greater than their estimated values. v_a > v_c if the actual mass is greater and the actual radius is less than their estimated values. v_a = v_c regardless of any difference in mass or radius. v_a < v_c if the actual mass is greater and the actual radius is the same as their estimated values.
An exotic planet Vogsphere is known to have a mass that is 1/81 that of the Earth and a radius 0.25 that of the Earth.

Rick is an Aerospace Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsions Laboratory (JPL), and is designing the next mission to Pluto called “New Horizons 2: The Sequel". This time Rick plans to study Pluto's largest moon Charon. Charon has a mass of 1.586 ×1021 kg and a mean radius of 606 km, and might have a nitrogenous atmosphere (N2) just like Pluto. If, for a massive object to have an atmosphere its escape speed must be 12 times greater than the root-mean- square (rms) velocity of the gas (otherwise the gas will slowly leak away over time), what is the maximum temperature that Charon can have and still have a nitrogenous atmosphere? [Charon has a temperature of -281 °C = 55 K, day or night.]
