Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Gravitation: Problem 28

28 In deep space, sphere A of mass 20 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 10 kg is located on the axis at x = 0.95 m. Sphere B is released from rest while sphere A is held at the origin. (a) What is the gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system just as B is released? (b) What is the kinetic energy of B when it has moved 0.15 m toward A?

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Given: 28 In, 20 kg, 10 kg, 0.95 m, 0.15 m

Find: (a) What is the gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere; (b) What is the kinetic energy of B when it has moved 0
