Consider an object of mass m, not necessarily small

Chapter 13, Problem 76

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider an object of mass m, not necessarily small compared with the mass of the Earth, released at a distance of 1.20 3 107 m from the center of the Earth. Assume the Earth and the object behave as a pair of particles, isolated from the rest of the Universe (a) Find the magnitude of the acceleration arel with which each starts to move relative to the other as a function of m. Evaluate the acceleration (b)for m 5 5.00kg, (c) for m 5 2 000 kg, and (d) for m 5 2.00 3 1024 kg. (e) Describe the pattern of variation of arel with m.
