a Write a paragraph describing the particle model. What is it, and why is it important?
b. Give two examples of situations, different from those described in the text, for which the particle model is appropriate.
c. Give an example of a situation, different from those described in the text, for which it would be inappropriate.
a.
To describe: The particle model.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The details of particle model are described.
Explanation of Solution
The particle model is the one that describes any object and its mass, concentrated to a single point where size and shape is not so important to be considered.
The above statement remains true if and only if it satisfies two conditions.
- Compared to size of the object, distance travelled by the object is large in comparison.
- Rotations and internal motions are not considered to be a significant feature.
Importance:
- It is important because complex problems can be simplified and analyzed.
- Includes motion of every single atom.
- Treating an object as small particle, important aspects of the motion can be focused neglecting minor information or details that cannot be observed.
Conclusion:
Hence, the details of particle model are described.
b.
To give: The two examples for which the particle model is appropriate.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The two examples for which the particle model is appropriate is given.
Explanation of Solution
The following are the situations where particle model is appropriate.
- Understanding satellite movement or motion.
- Any object travelling over a long distance indicating displacement and velocity.
Conclusion:
Hence, the two examples for which the particle model is appropriate is given.
c.
To give: The two examples for which the particle model is not appropriate.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The two examples for which the particle model is not appropriate is given.
Explanation of Solution
The following are the situations where practical model is not appropriate for
- Understanding engine operations.
- How bird flies.
- How human beings walk etc.
Conclusion:
Hence, the two examples for which the particle model is not appropriate is given.

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets?
