Question
Chapter 7, Problem 80A
To determine
The change in the force exerted by the Earth’s gravitational field on the object if the mass of the object is doubled.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 80A
Force will also be doubled.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The weight of an object of mass m , or the force exerted by the gravitational field on mass m , on the planet is given by,
Where, g is the gravitational strength on the planet.
If the mass of the object is doubled, and the Earth’s gravitational field remains constant, then the force exerted by the gravitational field will also be doubled since force is directly proportional to the mass of the object.
Conclusion:
Thus, the force exerted by the Earth’s gravitational field will also be doubled if the mass of the object is doubled.

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.
