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.

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.

White dwarf stars are produced by the collapse of regular stars, such as our sun, toward the end of their normal life. Suppose a star initially has the same mass as our sun and the same radius as that of the sun. Suppose further that it collapses into a white dwarf with a radius of 5000km. If the initial period of the star is the same 27 day period of our sun, what is the resulting period of the white dwarf?

n IT'S ARMAGEDDON! A Texas sized asteroid is headed for Earth! You've been hired by NASA to be part of a misfit team of deep-core drillers to save the planet! As the engineer (and most educated person) on the team, you've been tasked with doing the calculations to make sure the Earth will be saved. The plan is to land on the 6.1 x 10²1 kg asteroid traveling at 9830 m/s and detonate a nuclear bomb. The asteroid will break into two pieces of equal mass. One piece will fly off at an angle of 30° and speed 9700 m/s. What will be the speed and angle of the second piece? Scientists estimate that as long as the angle is greater than 15° we're all gonna be alright! Note: This is a totally ridiculous scenario, but the movie made a lot of money and had a lot of famous people in it. Typical Hollywood, right? Note 2: I made up the numbers, but they're close to what the movie describes. m/2,v2 0 m/2, v1 m, vi
