Paper For Above instruction
The attraction between Pete and Eileen can be analyzed through Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force \(F\) between two masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) separated by a distance \(r\) is given by:
F = G (m_1 m_2) / r²
Where \(G = 6.674 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{Nm}^2/\mathrm{kg}^2\) is the gravitational constant. Plugging in Pete’s mass \(m_1 = 86\,kg\), Eileen’s mass \(m_2=59\,kg\), and their separation \(r=2\,m\), we find:
F = 6.674 \times 10^{-11} (86 59) / 2² ≈ 8.47 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{N}
This force is extremely small, indicating that the attraction is indeed governed by physical gravitational laws. It suggests their interaction is purely physical at a fundamental level, although in a biological or emotional sense, the attraction might also involve other factors. Nonetheless, physically, their mutual attraction is purely due to gravitational force.
To calculate the gravitational acceleration \(g\) at a distance \(r = 2 R_e\) from Earth's center, where \(R_e \approx 6,371\,km\) (or \(6.371 \times 10^6\, m\)), we use:
g = G * M_e / r²
Given \(M_e = 5.98 \times 10^{24}\,kg\), then at \(r = 2 R_e = 1.2742 \times 10^7\, m\):
g = 6.674 \times 10^{-11} * 5.98 \times 10^{24} / (1.2742 \times 10^7)^2 ≈ 1.85\, m/s^2
Thus, gravity diminishes with distance, being roughly 30% of surface gravity at this point.
For the problem involving three masses in the xy-plane, each pair's force magnitude is calculated based on their positions, and the vector sum yields the net force. For example, considering forces from \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) on \(m_3\), we calculate each pairwise force and then vectorially sum to find the resultant force. This involves resolving forces into components and summing accordingly.
In the case of the satellite orbiting Earth, the kinetic energy \(K\) is given by:
K = \dfrac{1}{2} m v^2
For a circular orbit, \(v = \sqrt{G M_e / r}\). Substituting the values, we find:
v = \sqrt{6.674 \times 10^{-11} * 6.0 \times 10^{24} / 8.0 \times 10^6} ≈ 7.91 \times 10^3\,m/s
K = 0.5 200 (7.91 \times 10^3)^2 ≈ 6.27 \times 10^8\,J
This reflects the substantial energy necessary for stable orbital motion, governed by gravitational laws.
Moving to the problem of objects released from rest above a planet, energy conservation leads us to potential and kinetic energy considerations:
v = \sqrt{2 G M (1/r - 1/(r + h))}
By applying gravitational potential energy and initial conditions, we derive the impact velocity. The escape speed \(v_{esc}\) from the planet's surface is obtained by setting the total energy to zero:
v_{esc} = \sqrt{2 G M / R}
which in the given case is approximately 1470 m/s, indicating the minimum speed needed to escape the planet's gravitational pull.
The Sun’s expansion influences Earth's orbit due to the decrease in solar mass as fusion processes consume hydrogen. As the Sun loses mass, Earth's orbital radius would increase, moving Earth into a less gravitationally bound state, potentially moving it outward or into a different orbit, depending on the mass-loss rate. Changes in the Sun’s size and luminosity also impact Earth’s climate and habitability.
Most of the other problems involve thermodynamic calculations. For example, converting water at 100°C to steam involves the work done based on the pressure-volume relation, considering the density and the expansion volume. The heat required to vaporize ice includes latent heats of fusion and vaporization, computed based on the mass and specific latent heats.
Similarly, calculations of the temperature after thermal energy exchange, adiabatic expansion, and work in magnetic and elastic systems follow fundamental thermodynamic equations. For example, the adiabatic process for a gas involves the relation:
TV^{\gamma-1} = \text{constant}
where \(\gamma\) is the heat capacity ratio, and the final temperature after expansion can be calculated accordingly.
In close, the problems illustrate core physics principles such as gravitation, thermodynamics, harmonic motion, and wave mechanics, all governed by well-established laws. The analysis emphasizes the quantitative understanding of physical phenomena and highlights how fundamental constants and properties shape real-world behaviors.
