Question

Halliday, Fundamentals of Physics, 10e Calculus based Physics for Sclentists & Engineers (PHYS 2112 Assignment Gradebook ORION ent BACK Chapter 13, Problem 038 Your answer is partially correct. Try again. In deep space, sphere A of mass 79 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere 8 of mass 110 kg is located on the axis at x 5.2 . Sphere B is released from rest while sphere A is held at the origin. (a) What is the gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system just as 5 is released? (b) What is the kinetic energy of B when it has moved 3.6 m toward A?

Explanation / Answer

(a) gravitational potential energy= U = -Gm1m2/r

= (-6.67 * 10-11 m3/kg s2)(79kg)(110 kg)/(5.2m) =

U=-1.11 * 10-7 J

(b) Unew= -Gm1m2/r

new distance= 5.2-3.6=1.6 m

= (-6.67 * 10-11 m3/kg s2)(79kg)(110 kg)/(1.6m) =

U2=-3.36 * 10-7 J

kinetic energy=-1.11x10-7-(-3.36x10-7)

kinetic energy=2.25x10-7 J
