Apoint mass- half the mass of the earth is initially located at an altitude - the radius of the earth. the gravitational interaction between the point mass and the earth pulls them toward each other. let the initial velocities of both bodies were zero given mass of earth-6 x1024kg, radius of the earth-6.4x106m, the universal gravitation constant g-6.67x10-11n-m/kg2. (a) locate the center of mass (cm) of this system, initially how far is the cm from the center of the earth? (b) what is the speed of each body immediately before impact? (c) how far did the point mass move and how far did the earth move from initial time to impact? (d) set up the newton's second law equation for the point mass and that for the earth using the cm as the origin of your coordinate system (e) the differential equation in (d) is not easy to solve analytically, but you can solve them numerically with a computer. method: you know initial position of both bodies => you can find force acting on the bodies=> you can find the initial accelerations of each body -> to find the position and velocity of each body at small increment of time later, you assume the acceleration is constant during that small time interval=> once you have the new positions, you can find the new values for the forces and accelerations and keep propagating the process. (i will show you the procedure for a similar problem in class) solve the equations numerically and find the time of impact. (you can check how accurate your computer code is by comparing the distance travel by the two bodies from this method with the exact result of part c.

Part f - example: finding two forces (part i) two dimensional dynamics often involves solving for two unknown quantities in two separate equations describing the total force. the block in (figure 1) has a mass m=10kg and is being pulled by a force f on a table with coefficient of static friction îľs=0.3. four forces act on it: the applied force f (directed î¸=30â above the horizontal). the force of gravity fg=mg (directly down, where g=9.8m/s2). the normal force n (directly up). the force of static friction fs (directly left, opposing any potential motion). if we want to find the size of the force necessary to just barely overcome static friction (in which case fs=îľsn), we use the condition that the sum of the forces in both directions must be 0. using some basic trigonometry, we can write this condition out for the forces in both the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, as: fcosî¸â’îľsn=0 fsinî¸+nâ’mg=0 in order to find the magnitude of force f, we have to solve a system of two equations with both f and the normal force n unknown. use the methods we have learned to find an expression for f in terms of m, g, î¸, and îľs (no n).

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
