(Ch21 Grastiabravad Falds 284.1) PHY UNIT 4 JUNE 2012 The amount of energy required to move a manned spacecraft from the Earth to the Moon is much greater than that required to return it to the Earth. By reference to the forces involved, to gravitational field strength and to gravitational potential, and to the point X, explain why this is so. Gravitational forces The spacecraft experiences gravitational attractions to both the Earth and the Moon during its journey. * These forces pullin opposite directions on the spacecraft Because E is much more massive than M, for most of the outward journey the force towards E is greater than that towards M. ‘Only in the later stages of the outward journey is the resultant force directed towards M. On the return journey the resultant force is predominantly towards E. Gravitational field strength © During the outward journey E's gravitational field becomes weaker and M's becomes stronger. The resultant field is the yectonsum of those due to E and M separately. * Apoint (X) is reached at which these two component fields are equal and opposite, giving zero resultant. Xis much closer to M than to E. Once X has been passed, the spacecraft will be attracted to M by M's gravitational field. © Onthe return journey the spacecraft will fal’ to E once it is beyond X. Gravitational potential © The gravitational potential due E increases (i.e. becomes less negative) as the spacecraft moves away from E. The resultant gravitational potential is the (Scalar) 'SUm of those due to E and M separately. At xX the gravitational potential reaches a maximum. value before decreasing as M is approached. © In order to reach M on the outward journey, the spacecraft has to be given at least enough energy to reach X, and vice-versa for the return. Much more work is needed to move the spacecraft from E to X than from M to X, since a larger force has to be overcome over a largendistances + Pt newtvel poink, magnitude of yosubiont f > Fal = [F + AE koutrad pont, magutty a of Te Shenglnszeo, tational potoutial is ak + At koutval poms 4 O mapewmana, (nck zero aCHU Garauttational fields MB] 0-9 PHY UNIT 4 JUNE 2013 Gravitational fields and electric fields have many features in common but also have several differences. For both radial and uniform gravitational and electric fields, compare and contrast their common features and their differences. In your answer you should consider: * the force acting between particles or charges * gravitational field strength and electric field strength * gravitational potential and electric potential Forces Similarities: © Radial field: both gravitational and electric involve an inverse square relationship. ‘* Force is proportional to a product (masses/charges). ‘* Spherical body may be considered to act as a pointimass or charge placed at the centre of Uniform field: force is constant at all points Differences: Gravitational forces are always an attraction whilst electric forces may be attraction or repulsion * Gravitational forces are usually much smaller than electric forces (unless very large masses are involved Field Strengths Similarities: * Both defined as a force per unit mass or charge © Radial field: ©. Field strength proportional to t/r 2. © Field strength proportional to the magnitude of the mass or charge Uniform field: the field has the same magnitude and same direction at all points Differences: ‘* A gravitational field is always directed towards the mass producing it whereas an electric field is directed towards a negative charge but away from a positive charge * Amass of 1 kg is small in terms of the gravitational field it produces but a charge of 1C would produce a very strong electric field Potentials Similarities: ‘Definitions of both involve work done in moving a mass or charge from infinity to a point © Definitions involve the work done per unit mass or charge « Radial field: © Potential proportional to 4/r © Potential proportional to the mass or charge producing them © Uniform field: potential variesiliN€arlyiwith distance © Work done in moving a mass or charge = change in potential x mass/chanc Differences © Gravitational potential is always a negative quantity but electric potential is negative for > Equatiin > fthact rol By (Ma. -> HagyatudeYI8 Phy, (On.
