Concept explainers
The allowed energies and radii of moon.
Answer to Problem 87GP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The known distance between the Earth and Moon, is the quantization of the energy and the apparent radius.
Formula used:
Gravitational potential energy is given as:
Kinetic energy is given as:
Calculation:
Gravitational force can be written as:
Equate both the forces,
Now, the total energy can be given as:
Using equation (1),
Using the Quantization rule to find the value of
From equation (1),
So, the total energy can be given as:
Conclusion:
Thus, the energy and radius can be given as:
