Test Review Chapters Relativity
Question #1 What happens to the gravitational force when 2 objects get farther away from each other?
It decreases!
Question #2 A 35 kg rock and a 250 kg rock are placed 17 m apart. What is the gravitational force between them?
Question #3 How fast must a spaceship travel to be able to leave the earth’s gravitational pull?
8 km/s
Question #4 How long does it take light from the sun to travel to Earth?
8 minutes
Question #5 How much energy is contained within a T-84 calculator with a mass of 0.89 kg?
Question #6 The sun exerts a 3.5 x N force on the earth. What is the distance between the 1.99 x kg sun and the 5.97 x kg Earth?
Question 7 In Feb. 2007, the Hubble Telescope captured pictures of a dying star with a mass of 2.0 x kg.. If this star was 4,200 light years away, how long ago did the star die?
~ 4,200 years ago
Question #8 At what point during the planet’s orbit around the sun does it have the least amount of velocity?
S
Question #9 What is the speed of light? (in m/s) ?
3.00 x 10 8 m/s
Question #10 What is the gravitational force between a 7.5 x 10 5 kg object and a 2.50 x 10 8 kg object that are 2.5 x m apart?
Question #11 2 objects are attracted to each other. What happens to their speed as they get closer?
It increases!
Question #12 What were black holes before they became black holes?
Stars!
Question #13 Name 2 points during the planet’s orbit around the sun where it has the same amount of velocity.
All below are correct… P & V Q & U R & T
Question #14 If our sun were to become a black hole tomorrow, what would happen to the earth’s orbit around the sun?
Nothing. …because our orbit is due to the gravitation between the sun & the earth, and that didn’t change simply because the sun became a black hole. A black hole is the same mass, but in a much smaller package!
The end.
