Determine the missing values for each different body (1 Newton=0

Physics Sep 19, 2020

Determine the missing values for each different body (1 Newton=0.22 lb, 1 lb =4.54 N). Values should be carried out to 2 decimal places when it is not a whole number.

Formulae used in above table:
• Column 3 (g): Gravitational pull:
Gravitatoinal acceleration due to the planet in multiples of g:
Gravitatoinal acceleration due to the planet
For earth, Gravitational acceleration
For a planet with mass m2 =mp = xme and Rp = yRe,

The 1st column of mass m2 denotes the ratio of mass of the planet to that of the earth i.e. (mp/me) while the second column of radius r denotes the ratio of radius of the planet to the radius of the earth.

• Column 4 (a) Gravitational acceleration of the planet:
Gravitational acceleration of the planet: (Column3)x (g due to earth, 10m/s2)

• Column 5 Given

• Column 6 f = ma i.e. f = (column 5) x (column 4)

• Column 7 = 0.22 x (Column 6)

• Column 8 Escape velocity from the surface of a planet
----- (1)
Radius of the planet = y (Radius of the Earth)
i.e. Rp = y Re ----- (a) (Get y from column 2)

From column 3, get gp = (x/y2)g ----- (b)
Substituting (a) and (b) in equation (1), we get

i.e. ---- (2)
Escape velocity from the surface of the earth ---- (3)
[This value is a standard value. If required, it can be calculated by substituting
g = 10 m/s2 and radius of the earth R = 6400 km = 6.4 x 106 m in equation (3) ]
Dividing equation (2) by (3), we get the escape velocity from the surface of the
planet in terms of escape velocity from the surface of the Earth as

i.e. ----- (4)
i.e. in km/s ----- (5)
Use equation (5) for the calculation of the escape velocities for all the planets in last column.
------------.
