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.

surface of the earth
An object would have to have enough kinetic energy to equal the
potential energy at infinity.
Ek = Epg
1/2 m v2 = G m¡m2r
rearranging for v:
v = /2 Gmr
ex. The escape velocity at the surface of the earth is approximately
8 km/s. What is the escape velocity for a planet whose radius is 4

Around 2.5 centuries ago, several physicists of the time came up with the notion of a dark star. This was a star so dense, with so much gravity, that not even light could escape. The calculations used Newtonian mechanics. In class, we calculated the escape speed from the surface of the earth or the distance from the sun, and the mass of the planet or star. Here, the process is partially reversed. Calculate the dark star radius from the mass of the star and the escape speed. Answer in kilometers. c = 3*108 m/s M = 3.2*1030 kg G = 2/3 * 10-10 N*m2/kg2

Consider a planet that has two layers. There is a core, which has density 9.9 x 103 kg/m3 and radius 3.9 x 106 m, and then there is a crust, which has density 4.9 x 103 kg/m3 and sits on top of the core. The planet has a total radius of 16.9 x 106 m. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of this planet, in N/kg. Use G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2/ kg2.

Some of the most spectacular objects in the universe are fairly small: neutron stars are spheres with a diameter that's about 10km (they are remnants of old stars). Their spectacular nature is indicated by the fact that they are about as massive as the sun, i.e. 2 x 1030kg. What is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of such an object? Express your result as a multiple of g.
