A satellite of mass m is at a distance a from a star of mass M. the speed of satellite is `u`. Suppose the low of universal gravity is `F=-G(Mm)/(r^(2.1))` instead of `F=-G(Mm)/(r^(2))` find the speed of the statellite when it is at a distance b from the star.

A

`sqrt(u^(2)+2GM((1)/(b^(1.1))-(1)/(a^(1.1))))`

B

`sqrt(u^(2)+GM((1)/(a^(1.1))-(1)/(b^(1.1))))`

C

`sqrt(u^(2)+(2)/(1.1)GM((1)/(b^(1.1))-(1)/(a^(1.1))))`

D

`sqrt(u^(2)+(2)/(2.1)GM((1)/(b^(1.1))-(1)/(a^(1.1))))`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the speed of a satellite when it is at a distance \( b \) from a star of mass \( M \), given that the gravitational force follows the law \( F = -\frac{G M m}{r^{2.1}} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Work Done by the Gravitational Force**: The work done \( W \) by the gravitational force when moving from distance \( a \) to \( b \) can be expressed as: \[ W = \int_{a}^{b} F \, dr = \int_{a}^{b} -\frac{G M m}{r^{2.1}} \, dr \] 2. **Integrate the Force**: To compute the integral, we rewrite it: \[ W = -G M m \int_{a}^{b} r^{-2.1} \, dr \] The integral of \( r^{-2.1} \) is: \[ \int r^{-2.1} \, dr = \frac{r^{-1.1}}{-1.1} = -\frac{1}{1.1 r^{1.1}} + C \] Therefore, we evaluate the definite integral: \[ W = -G M m \left[ -\frac{1}{1.1 r^{1.1}} \right]_{a}^{b} = -G M m \left( -\frac{1}{1.1 b^{1.1}} + \frac{1}{1.1 a^{1.1}} \right) \] Simplifying gives: \[ W = \frac{G M m}{1.1} \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right) \] 3. **Use the Work-Energy Theorem**: According to the work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy: \[ W = K_f - K_i \] Where \( K_i \) is the initial kinetic energy \( \frac{1}{2} m u^2 \) and \( K_f \) is the final kinetic energy \( \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \): \[ \frac{G M m}{1.1} \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right) = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - \frac{1}{2} m u^2 \] 4. **Cancel Mass \( m \)**: Since \( m \) appears in all terms, we can cancel it out: \[ \frac{G M}{1.1} \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right) = \frac{1}{2} v^2 - \frac{1}{2} u^2 \] 5. **Rearranging for \( v^2 \)**: Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{1}{2} v^2 = \frac{G M}{1.1} \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right) + \frac{1}{2} u^2 \] Multiplying through by 2: \[ v^2 = \frac{2 G M}{1.1} \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right) + u^2 \] 6. **Finding \( v \)**: Finally, taking the square root gives: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{1.1} \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right) + u^2} \] ### Final Answer: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{1.1} \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right) + u^2} \]
