Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

If you weigh 680 N on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 21.0 km?

Take the mass of the sun to be \( m_s = 1.99 \times 10^{30} \, \text{kg} \), the gravitational constant to be \( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \), and the free-fall acceleration at the earth's surface to be \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

Express your weight \( w_{\text{star}} \) in newtons.

The figure below shows a spherical hollow inside a lead sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. The surface of the hollow passes through the center of the sphere and "touches" the right side of the sphere. The mass of the sphere before hollowing was M = 2.50 kg. With what gravitational force does the hollowed-out lead sphere attract a small sphere of mass m = 0.459 kg that lies at a distance d = 9.00 cm from the center of the lead sphere, on the straight line connecting the centers of the spheres and of the hollow?
A planet of mass 6 x 1024 kg is in orbit around a star of mass 2 x 1030 kg. If the distance between the planet and the star is 5 x 1011 m, what is the force exerted on this planet by the star?
Nothing can escape the event horizon of a black hole, not even light. You can think of the event horizon as being the distance from a black hole at which the escape speed is the speed of light, 3.00×10^8 m/s, making all escape impossible. What is the radius of the event horizon for a black hole with a mass 3.5 times the mass of the sun?
Please don't provide handwritten solution .....
The radius Rh of a black hole is the radius of a mathematical sphere, called the event horizon, that is centered on the black hole. Information from events inside the event horizon cannot reach the outside world. According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, Rh = 2GM/c2, where M is the mass of the black hole and c is the speed of light. Suppose that you wish to study a black hole near it, at a radial distance of 48Rh. However, you do not want the difference in gravitational acceleration between your feet and your head to exceed 10 m/s2 when you are feet down (or head down) toward the black hole. (a) Take your height to be 1.5 m. What is the limit to the mass of the black hole you can tolerate at the given radial distance? Give the ratio of this mass to the mass MS of our Sun.
