A 200-kg object and a 500-kg object are separated by 4.00 m. (a) Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objects on a 50.0-kg object placed midway between them. (b) At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 50.0-kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero from the other two objects?
In the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (m1m2) . While all scientific conjectures must be experimentally verified, can you provided arguments as to why this must be? (You may wish to consider simple examples in which any other form would lead to contradictory results.)
Find the ratio of the mass of Jupiter to that of Earth based on data in Table 6.2.
A ball is falling toward the ground. Which of the following statements are false? (a) The force that the ball exerts on Earth is equal in magnitude to the force that Earth exerts on the ball, (b) The ball undergoes the same acceleration as Earth. (c) The magnitude of the force the Earth exerts on the ball is greater than the magnitude of the force the ball exerts on the Earth.
The starship Enterprise has its tractor beam locked onto some valuable debris and is trying to pull it toward the ship. A Klingon battle cruiser and a Romulan warbird are also trying to recover the item by pulling the debris with their tractor beams as shown in Figure P5.25. a. Given the following magnitudes of the tractor beam forces, find the net force experienced by the debris: FEnt = 7.59 106 N, FRom = 2.53 106 N, and FKling = 8.97 105 N. b. If the debris has a mass of 2549 kg, what is the net acceleration of the debris? FIGURE P5.25
(a) Find the magnitude of the gravity force between a planet with mass 5.98 1024 kg and its moon, with mass 7.36 1022 kg, if the average distance between them is 3.84 108 m. (b) What is the acceleration of the moon toward the planet? (c) What is the acceleration of the planet toward the moon? (See Section 7.5.)
Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on a 4.10-kg baby by a 94.0-kg father 0.196 m away at birth (assisting so he is close). |N (b) Calculate the magnitude of the force on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest to the Earth, some 6.29 x 1011 m away, showing it to be comparable to that of the father. The mass of Jupiter is about 1.90 x 1027 kg. Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.) N
The Sun and Earth each exert a gravitational force on the Moon.What is the ratio FSun/FEarth of these two forces? (The average Sun–Moon distance is equal to the Sun–Earth distance.)
Two spheres A and B of mass 7.5 kg and 6.8 kg, respectively, are separated by a distance of 0.62 m. (a) Calculate the magnitude, in N, of the gravitational force A exerts on B and B exerts on A. force A exerts on B N force B exerts on A N (b) If the force between the spheres is now 4.40 × 10-9 N, how far apart are their centers, in meters? m
Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the magnitude, in N, of the gravitational force exerted on a 4.00 kg baby by a 130 kg father 0.300 m away at birth (assisting so he is close).

When the astronaut enters the ISS (International Space Station), she is in "free fall," where the only force acting on her is the force of gravity applied by the Earth. What happens to her true weight and her apparent weight as she enters the ISS? Explain. (You may want to reference p. 227-228 of the textbook to help you.)
