Physics help, circular motion and gravity

In summary, a star with a mass of 1.830×1031 kg and a rotation period of 37.30 days will have a new period (in days) if its diameter shrinks to 0.850 times its current size. In another conversation, it is stated that the C.M. of Mp+M1+M2 will not accelerate, T1 is greater than T2, the sum of m1g + M2g + Mpg is less than T3, T3 is equal to the sum of T1 and T2, T2 is less than M2g, and the magnitude of the acceleration of M2 is greater than that of m1.

anything is appreciated!

1. The mass of a star is 1.830×1031 kg and it performs one rotation in 37.30 days. Find its new period (in days) if the diameter suddenly shrinks to 0.850 times its present size. Assume a uniform mass distribution before and after.

2. A pulley with mass Mp and a radius Rp is attached to the ceiling, in a gravity field of 9.81 m/s2 and rotates with no friction about its pivot. Mass M2 is larger than mass m1. The quantities Tn and g are magnitudes. Choices: true, false, greater than, less than, or equal to.

The C.M. of Mp+M1+M2 does not accelerate.
T1 is ... T2
m1g + M2g + Mpg is ... T3.
T3 is ... T1 + T2
T2 is ... M2g.
The magnitude of the acceleration of M2 is ... that of m1.

Related to Physics help, circular motion and gravity

1. What is circular motion?

Circular motion is the movement of an object along a circular path. This means that the object is constantly changing direction and velocity as it moves around the circle.

2. How does gravity affect circular motion?

Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other. In circular motion, gravity is responsible for keeping the object moving in a circular path by constantly pulling it towards the center of the circle.

3. What is the relationship between circular motion and centripetal force?

Centripetal force is the force that acts towards the center of a circular path and keeps an object moving in that path. In circular motion, centripetal force is provided by gravity, tension, or friction.

4. How do you calculate the speed of an object in circular motion?

The speed of an object in circular motion can be calculated using the formula v = 2πr/T, where v is the speed, r is the radius of the circle, and T is the time it takes for the object to complete one full revolution.

5. What is the difference between uniform circular motion and non-uniform circular motion?

In uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant while its direction changes. In non-uniform circular motion, the speed of the object is not constant and can vary as it moves along the circular path.
