An astronaut inside a small spaceship orbitting around the earth cannot detect gravity. If the space station orbtitting around the earth has a large size, can he hope to detect gravity ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Inside a small spaceship orbitting around the earth, the value of acceleration due to gravity g, can be considered as constant and hence astronaut feels weightlessness.
In the space station orbitting around the earth has a large size, such that variation in `g` matters in the case astronaut inside the speceship will experience gravitational force and hence can detect gravity e.g., On the moon, due to larger size gravity can be detected.

An unmanned satellite A and a spacecraft B are orbiting around the earth in the same circular orbit as shown. The spacecraft is ahead of the satellite by some time. Let us consider that some technical problem has arisen in the satellite and the astronaut from B has made it correct. For this to be done docking of two ( A and B ) is required (in layman terms connecting A and B ). To achieve this, the rockets of A have been fired in forward direction and docking takes place as shown in the figure below: Take mass of the earth =5.98xx10^(24)kg Radius of the earth =6400 km Orbital radius =9600km Mass of satellite A=320 kg Mass of spacecraft =3200 kg Assume that initially spacecraft B leads satellite A by 100s , i.e., A arrives at any particle position after 100 s of B’s arrival. Based on the above information answer the following questions The initial total energy and time period of satellite are, respectively,
