Q1MEDIUMPaper 1Newton's law, inverse-square万有引力定律与反平方[4 marks]

Two identical spheres of mass $8.0\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{kg}$, centres $5.0\ \mathrm{m}$ apart. (a) the attractive force; (b) the new force when the separation is tripled, with reasoning.两个质量 $8.0\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{kg}$ 的相同球体,中心相距 $5.0\ \mathrm{m}$。(a) 引力;(b) 间距增至三倍后的新引力及理由。

Answers:答案:  (a) $F \approx 1.7\times 10^{-4}\ \mathrm{N}$  ·  (b) $F' \approx 1.9\times 10^{-5}\ \mathrm{N}$ (one ninth)

(a) Force between the spheres M1·A1

Both masses equal, $M = m = 8.0\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{kg}$, $r = 5.0\ \mathrm{m}$. Use Newton's law of gravitation $F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^{2}}$. (M1)

$$ F = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(8.0\times 10^{3})^{2}}{(5.0)^{2}} = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.4\times 10^{7})}{25} \approx 1.7\times 10^{-4}\ \mathrm{N}. $$

(A1)

(b) Separation tripled A1·R1

The force is inverse-square in $r$, so tripling $r$ divides $F$ by $3^{2} = 9$. (R1)

$$ F' = \frac{F}{9} = \frac{1.71\times 10^{-4}}{9} \approx 1.9\times 10^{-5}\ \mathrm{N}. $$

(A1)

Insight. The inverse-square law rewards ratio reasoning over re-substitution: once you know the force at one separation, scale by $(r_{1}/r_{2})^{2}$ rather than recomputing from scratch. The other recurring trap is the value of $r$, which is always centre-to-centre, never the surface gap, because a spherically symmetric body acts as a point mass at its centre.

(a) 两球间的引力 M1·A1

两质量相等,$M = m = 8.0\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{kg}$,$r = 5.0\ \mathrm{m}$。用万有引力定律 $F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^{2}}$。(M1)

$$ F = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(8.0\times 10^{3})^{2}}{(5.0)^{2}} = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.4\times 10^{7})}{25} \approx 1.7\times 10^{-4}\ \mathrm{N}. $$

(A1)

(b) 间距增至三倍 A1·R1

引力对 $r$ 为反平方,故 $r$ 增至三倍使 $F$ 除以 $3^{2} = 9$。(R1)

$$ F' = \frac{F}{9} = \frac{1.71\times 10^{-4}}{9} \approx 1.9\times 10^{-5}\ \mathrm{N}. $$

(A1)

要点。反平方定律奖励比值推理而非重新代入:一旦知道某间距下的力,按 $(r_{1}/r_{2})^{2}$ 缩放即可,不必从头重算。另一个反复出现的陷阱是 $r$ 的取值,它始终是中心到中心的距离,而非表面间隙,因为球对称物体等效为中心处的点质量。
Q2MEDIUMPaper 1field strength g = GM/r²场强度 g = GM/r²[4 marks]

Mars, $M = 6.4\times 10^{23}\ \mathrm{kg}$, $R = 3.4\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$. (a) surface field strength; (b) field strength at $r = 2R$, with justification.火星,$M = 6.4\times 10^{23}\ \mathrm{kg}$,$R = 3.4\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$。(a) 表面场强度;(b) $r = 2R$ 处的场强度及依据。

Answers:答案:  (a) $g \approx 3.7\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}$  ·  (b) $g' \approx 0.92\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}$ (one quarter)

(a) Surface gravitational field strength M1·A1

Field strength is the force per unit mass, $g = \dfrac{GM}{r^{2}}$, evaluated at $r = R$. (M1)

$$ g = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.4\times 10^{23})}{(3.4\times 10^{6})^{2}} \approx 3.7\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(b) Field strength at $r = 2R$ R1·A1

Field strength is inverse-square in $r$; doubling $r$ to $2R$ divides $g$ by $2^{2} = 4$. (R1)

$$ g' = \frac{g}{4} = \frac{3.69}{4} \approx 0.92\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

Insight. Gravitational field strength $g = GM/r^{2}$ is numerically identical to the free-fall acceleration, since $F = mg$ gives $g = F/m$. The single most common slip is putting "one planet-radius above the surface" into the formula as $r = R$; the distance from the centre is then $r = 2R$, which quarters the field, not halves it.

(a) 表面引力场强度 M1·A1

场强度为单位质量受力,$g = \dfrac{GM}{r^{2}}$,取 $r = R$。(M1)

$$ g = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.4\times 10^{23})}{(3.4\times 10^{6})^{2}} \approx 3.7\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(b) $r = 2R$ 处的场强度 R1·A1

场强度对 $r$ 为反平方;$r$ 加倍到 $2R$ 使 $g$ 除以 $2^{2} = 4$。(R1)

$$ g' = \frac{g}{4} = \frac{3.69}{4} \approx 0.92\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

要点。引力场强度 $g = GM/r^{2}$ 与自由落体加速度数值相同,因为 $F = mg$ 给出 $g = F/m$。最常见的失误是把"距表面一个行星半径"当作 $r = R$ 代入公式;此时到中心的距离实为 $r = 2R$,使场变为四分之一而非二分之一。
Q3HARDPaper 1orbital speed, Kepler's third law轨道速度与开普勒第三定律[6 marks]

Satellite at $r = 8.0\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$, planet $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$. (a) show $v = \sqrt{GM/r}$; (b) orbital speed and period; (c) Kepler factor for a second satellite at four times the radius.卫星位于 $r = 8.0\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$,行星 $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$。(a) 证明 $v = \sqrt{GM/r}$;(b) 轨道速度与周期;(c) 四倍半径处第二颗卫星的开普勒倍率。

Answers:答案:  (a) $v = \sqrt{GM/r}$  ·  (b) $v \approx 7.1\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, $T \approx 7.1\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{s}$  ·  (c) $\times 8$

(a) Deriving the orbital speed M1·A1

Gravity provides the centripetal force for the circular orbit, so set $\dfrac{GMm}{r^{2}} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}$. (M1)

The orbiting mass $m$ cancels and one power of $r$ cancels, leaving $v^{2} = \dfrac{GM}{r}$, hence $v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$. (A1)

(b) Orbital speed and period M1·A1·A1

$$ v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})}{8.0\times 10^{6}}} = \sqrt{5.00\times 10^{7}} \approx 7.1\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(M1·A1)

The period is the circumference divided by the speed, $T = \dfrac{2\pi r}{v} = \dfrac{2\pi (8.0\times 10^{6})}{7.07\times 10^{3}} \approx 7.1\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{s}$. (A1)

(c) Kepler's third law factor B1

$T^{2}\propto r^{3}$ gives $T\propto r^{3/2}$. With the radius multiplied by $4$, $T$ multiplies by $4^{3/2} = 8$. (B1)

Insight. Every circular-orbit result flows from one move: gravity is the centripetal force, $GMm/r^{2} = mv^{2}/r$. The orbiting mass always cancels, so satellite speed and period depend only on the central mass $M$ and the radius $r$. For ratio parts use $T\propto r^{3/2}$ directly rather than recomputing both periods; the exponent $3/2$ is the heart of Kepler's third law.

(a) 推导轨道速度 M1·A1

引力为圆轨道提供向心力,故令 $\dfrac{GMm}{r^{2}} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}$。(M1)

绕行质量 $m$ 约去,一次 $r$ 约去,得 $v^{2} = \dfrac{GM}{r}$,故 $v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$。(A1)

(b) 轨道速度与周期 M1·A1·A1

$$ v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})}{8.0\times 10^{6}}} = \sqrt{5.00\times 10^{7}} \approx 7.1\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(M1·A1)

周期为周长除以速度,$T = \dfrac{2\pi r}{v} = \dfrac{2\pi (8.0\times 10^{6})}{7.07\times 10^{3}} \approx 7.1\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{s}$。(A1)

(c) 开普勒第三定律倍率 B1

$T^{2}\propto r^{3}$ 给出 $T\propto r^{3/2}$。半径乘以 $4$,$T$ 乘以 $4^{3/2} = 8$。(B1)

要点。所有圆轨道结果都源自一步:引力即向心力,$GMm/r^{2} = mv^{2}/r$。绕行质量总会约去,故卫星速度与周期只取决于中心质量 $M$ 与半径 $r$。比值题直接用 $T\propto r^{3/2}$,不必重算两个周期;指数 $3/2$ 正是开普勒第三定律的核心。
Q4HARDPaper 1HL ONLYgravitational potential, PE, equipotentials引力势、势能与等势面[8 marks]

Planet $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$, $R = 6.4\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$; probe $1500\ \mathrm{kg}$ on the surface. (a) surface potential and why it is negative; (b) potential energy of the probe; (c) define an equipotential and the work to move along it.行星 $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$,$R = 6.4\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$;探测器 $1500\ \mathrm{kg}$ 在表面。(a) 表面势及其为负的原因;(b) 探测器的势能;(c) 定义等势面及沿其移动所做的功。

Answers:答案:  (a) $V_g \approx -6.3\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{J\,kg^{-1}}$  ·  (b) $E_p \approx -9.4\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}$  ·  (c) constant-$V_g$ surface; $W = 0$

(a) Gravitational potential at the surface M1·A1·R1

Use $V_g = -\dfrac{GM}{r}$ with $r = R$. (M1)

$$ V_g = -\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})}{6.4\times 10^{6}} \approx -6.3\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{J\,kg^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

It is negative because the zero of potential is chosen at infinity; bringing a mass from infinity to the surface, gravity does positive work, so the potential ends up below zero. (R1)

(b) Potential energy of the probe M1·A1

Potential energy is mass times potential, $E_p = m V_g$ (equivalently $E_p = -GMm/r$). (M1)

$$ E_p = (1500)(-6.25\times 10^{7}) \approx -9.4\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}. $$

(A1)

(c) Equipotential and work along it A1·A1·R1

An equipotential surface is a surface on which the gravitational potential $V_g$ has the same value at every point; around a point mass these are concentric spheres. (A1)

The work done is $W = m\,\Delta V_g$. Along one equipotential $\Delta V_g = 0$, so $W = 0$. (A1)

This is consistent with the field being perpendicular to the equipotential: no component of the gravitational force acts along the path. (R1)

Insight. Potential is potential energy per unit mass, so the scalar $V_g$ and the energy $E_p = mV_g$ carry the same negative sign and the same $1/r$ dependence. The negativity is not arbitrary; it follows from putting the zero at infinity, where the force vanishes. Because work done equals $m\,\Delta V_g$, motion along an equipotential is free, which is exactly why field lines cross equipotentials at right angles.

(a) 表面引力势 M1·A1·R1

用 $V_g = -\dfrac{GM}{r}$ 取 $r = R$。(M1)

$$ V_g = -\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})}{6.4\times 10^{6}} \approx -6.3\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{J\,kg^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

它为负,因为势的零点取在无穷远;把质量从无穷远移到表面时引力做正功,故势最终低于零。(R1)

(b) 探测器的势能 M1·A1

势能为质量乘以势,$E_p = m V_g$(等价于 $E_p = -GMm/r$)。(M1)

$$ E_p = (1500)(-6.25\times 10^{7}) \approx -9.4\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}. $$

(A1)

(c) 等势面及沿其做功 A1·A1·R1

等势面是其上每点引力势 $V_g$ 取同一值的曲面;点质量周围为同心球面。(A1)

做功为 $W = m\,\Delta V_g$。沿同一等势面 $\Delta V_g = 0$,故 $W = 0$。(A1)

这与场垂直于等势面一致:引力沿路径无分量。(R1)

要点。势是单位质量的势能,故标量 $V_g$ 与能量 $E_p = mV_g$ 带有相同的负号与相同的 $1/r$ 依赖。负值并非随意;它源于把零点取在力为零的无穷远。由于做功等于 $m\,\Delta V_g$,沿等势面移动不耗功,这正是场线与等势面正交的原因。
Q5HARDPaper 1HL ONLYescape speed逃逸速度[8 marks]

Planet $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$, $R = 6.4\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$. (a) derive $v_{esc} = \sqrt{2GM/r}$ from zero total energy; (b) calculate the surface escape speed; (c) why it is independent of the escaping mass, and that $v_{esc} = \sqrt{2}\,v_{orbit}$.行星 $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$,$R = 6.4\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$。(a) 由总能量为零推导 $v_{esc} = \sqrt{2GM/r}$;(b) 计算表面逃逸速度;(c) 它为何与逃逸质量无关,以及 $v_{esc} = \sqrt{2}\,v_{orbit}$。

Answers:答案:  (a) $v_{esc} = \sqrt{2GM/r}$  ·  (b) $v_{esc} \approx 1.1\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (c) $m$ cancels; $v_{esc} = \sqrt{2}\,v_{orbit}$

(a) Deriving the escape speed M1·M1·A1

"Just escaping" means reaching $r \to \infty$ with $v \to 0$, where both $E_k$ and $E_p$ vanish, so the total energy is zero. By conservation, at launch the total energy is also zero: (M1)

$$ \tfrac{1}{2} m v_{esc}^{2} - \frac{GMm}{r} = 0. $$

(M1 for setting up the energy balance)

The mass $m$ cancels and rearranging gives $v_{esc} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{r}}$. (A1)

(b) Surface escape speed M1·A1

$$ v_{esc} = \sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})}{6.4\times 10^{6}}} = \sqrt{1.25\times 10^{8}} \approx 1.1\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(M1·A1)

(c) Mass independence and the $\sqrt{2}$ factor R1·M1·A1

The escaping mass $m$ multiplies both $E_k$ and $E_p$, so it cancels from the energy equation: escape speed depends only on $G$, the planet mass $M$ and the distance $r$. (R1)

Compare with the circular orbital speed $v_{orbit} = \sqrt{GM/r}$. (M1)

$$ \frac{v_{esc}}{v_{orbit}} = \frac{\sqrt{2GM/r}}{\sqrt{GM/r}} = \sqrt{2}, \qquad \text{so } v_{esc} = \sqrt{2}\,v_{orbit}. $$

(A1)

Insight. Escape is an energy condition, not a force condition: set the total mechanical energy to exactly zero, the boundary between bound ($E < 0$) and unbound ($E \ge 0$). The escaping mass cancels because every energy term is proportional to it, which is why a feather and a rocket need the same escape speed. The tidy relation $v_{esc} = \sqrt{2}\,v_{orbit}$ at a given radius is a fast sanity check worth memorising.

(a) 推导逃逸速度 M1·M1·A1

"恰好逃逸"指到达 $r \to \infty$ 时 $v \to 0$,此处 $E_k$ 与 $E_p$ 都为零,故总能量为零。由守恒,在发射时总能量也为零:(M1)

$$ \tfrac{1}{2} m v_{esc}^{2} - \frac{GMm}{r} = 0. $$

(列出能量平衡得 M1)

质量 $m$ 约去,整理得 $v_{esc} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{r}}$。(A1)

(b) 表面逃逸速度 M1·A1

$$ v_{esc} = \sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})}{6.4\times 10^{6}}} = \sqrt{1.25\times 10^{8}} \approx 1.1\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(M1·A1)

(c) 与质量无关及 $\sqrt{2}$ 倍率 R1·M1·A1

逃逸质量 $m$ 同时乘 $E_k$ 与 $E_p$,故从能量方程中约去:逃逸速度只取决于 $G$、行星质量 $M$ 与距离 $r$。(R1)

与圆轨道速度 $v_{orbit} = \sqrt{GM/r}$ 比较。(M1)

$$ \frac{v_{esc}}{v_{orbit}} = \frac{\sqrt{2GM/r}}{\sqrt{GM/r}} = \sqrt{2}, \qquad \text{故 } v_{esc} = \sqrt{2}\,v_{orbit}. $$

(A1)

要点。逃逸是能量条件而非受力条件:令总机械能恰为零,即束缚($E < 0$)与非束缚($E \ge 0$)的分界。逃逸质量约去,因为每一能量项都正比于它,这正是羽毛与火箭需要相同逃逸速度的原因。给定半径下 $v_{esc} = \sqrt{2}\,v_{orbit}$ 这一简洁关系值得记住,可做快速校验。

Q6HARDPaper 1Blog T vs log r (Kepler) + uncertaintylog T 对 log r(开普勒)与不确定度[12 marks]

Four moons; $\lg r$ and $\lg T$ tabulated. (a) show $\lg T$ vs $\lg r$ is linear and state the expected gradient; (b) calculate the gradient and compare with Kepler; (c) use the intercept $\lg c = -6.50$ to find $M$; (d) one advantage of the log graph.四颗卫星;列出 $\lg r$ 与 $\lg T$。(a) 证明 $\lg T$ 对 $\lg r$ 为直线并写出预期斜率;(b) 计算斜率并与开普勒比较;(c) 用截距 $\lg c = -6.50$ 求 $M$;(d) 对数图的一个优势。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\lg T = \tfrac{3}{2}\lg r + \lg c$, gradient $= 1.5$  ·  (b) gradient $= 1.5$ (agrees)  ·  (c) $M \approx 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$  ·  (d) reveals the power law / compresses a wide range

(a) Why the log graph is linear M1·A1·A1

Take logarithms (base 10) of $T^{2} = \dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r^{3}$, that is $T = \left(\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}\right)^{1/2} r^{3/2}$. (M1)

$$ \lg T = \tfrac{3}{2}\lg r + \lg\!\left[\left(\tfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}\right)^{1/2}\right]. $$

This has the straight-line form $\lg T = m\,\lg r + \lg c$ with constant intercept, so the plot is linear. (A1)

The expected gradient is $\tfrac{3}{2} = 1.5$. (A1)

(b) Gradient from the data M1·A1·A1

Use the two end points $(6.90,\,3.85)$ and $(7.60,\,4.90)$, which are widely separated: (M1)

$$ \text{gradient} = \frac{4.90 - 3.85}{7.60 - 6.90} = \frac{1.05}{0.70} = 1.5. $$

(A1)

This equals the predicted $1.5$, so the data are consistent with Kepler's third law $T^{2}\propto r^{3}$. (A1)

(c) Mass of the planet from the intercept M1·M1·A1·A1

The intercept satisfies $\lg c = \lg\left[\left(\tfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}\right)^{1/2}\right] = -6.50$, so $c = 10^{-6.50} = \left(\tfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}\right)^{1/2}$. (M1)

Square both sides: $c^{2} = 10^{-13.0} = \dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}$. (M1)

$$ M = \frac{4\pi^{2}}{G\,c^{2}} = \frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(10^{-13.0})}. $$

(A1)

$$ M = \frac{39.48}{6.67\times 10^{-24}} \approx 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}. $$

(A1)

(d) Advantage of the logarithmic plot B1·R1

The radii and periods span more than an order of magnitude; a log-log plot compresses this wide range onto one readable straight line. (B1)

The gradient directly tests the power-law exponent ($1.5$), so the relationship $T\propto r^{3/2}$ is confirmed without first assuming it to plot $T^{2}$ against $r^{3}$. (R1)

Insight. A log-log graph turns any power law $y = kx^{n}$ into a straight line of gradient $n$ and intercept $\lg k$, so the gradient measures the exponent and the intercept measures the constant. Here the exponent test ($1.5$) and the mass extraction (from the intercept) are two separate marks. The trap in part (c) is forgetting to square: the intercept holds $(4\pi^{2}/GM)^{1/2}$, not $4\pi^{2}/GM$.

(a) 对数图为何为直线 M1·A1·A1

对 $T^{2} = \dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r^{3}$(即 $T = \left(\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}\right)^{1/2} r^{3/2}$)取以 10 为底的对数。(M1)

$$ \lg T = \tfrac{3}{2}\lg r + \lg\!\left[\left(\tfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}\right)^{1/2}\right]. $$

此式具有直线形式 $\lg T = m\,\lg r + \lg c$,截距为常量,故图为直线。(A1)

预期斜率为 $\tfrac{3}{2} = 1.5$。(A1)

(b) 由数据求斜率 M1·A1·A1

用相距较远的两端点 $(6.90,\,3.85)$ 与 $(7.60,\,4.90)$:(M1)

$$ \text{斜率} = \frac{4.90 - 3.85}{7.60 - 6.90} = \frac{1.05}{0.70} = 1.5. $$

(A1)

它等于预测值 $1.5$,故数据与开普勒第三定律 $T^{2}\propto r^{3}$ 相符。(A1)

(c) 由截距求行星质量 M1·M1·A1·A1

截距满足 $\lg c = \lg\left[\left(\tfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}\right)^{1/2}\right] = -6.50$,故 $c = 10^{-6.50} = \left(\tfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}\right)^{1/2}$。(M1)

两边平方:$c^{2} = 10^{-13.0} = \dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}$。(M1)

$$ M = \frac{4\pi^{2}}{G\,c^{2}} = \frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(10^{-13.0})}. $$

(A1)

$$ M = \frac{39.48}{6.67\times 10^{-24}} \approx 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}. $$

(A1)

(d) 对数图的优势 B1·R1

半径与周期跨越一个数量级以上;双对数图把这一宽范围压缩到一条可读的直线上。(B1)

斜率直接检验幂律指数($1.5$),故无需先假设关系即可确认 $T\propto r^{3/2}$,而不必直接作 $T^{2}$ 对 $r^{3}$ 图。(R1)

要点。双对数图把任意幂律 $y = kx^{n}$ 化为斜率 $n$、截距 $\lg k$ 的直线,故斜率度量指数、截距度量常量。这里指数检验($1.5$)与质量提取(由截距)是两处独立给分。(c) 的陷阱是忘记平方:截距含 $(4\pi^{2}/GM)^{1/2}$,而非 $4\pi^{2}/GM$。
Q7HARDPaper 1BHL ONLYg vs 1/r² line, field-potential linkg 对 1/r² 直线、场与势的关系[10 marks]

(a) why $g$ vs $1/r^{2}$ is a line through the origin and what the gradient is; (b) gradient and planet mass $M$; (c) the relation between $g$ and $V_g$ and which graph feature gives $g$.探测器测量行星附近 $g$ 对 $1/r^{2}$。(a) 为何 $g$ 对 $1/r^{2}$ 为过原点直线及斜率含义;(b) 斜率与行星质量 $M$;(c) $g$ 与 $V_g$ 的关系及哪个图特征给出 $g$。

Answers:答案:  (a) gradient $= GM$  ·  (b) gradient $\approx 4.0\times 10^{14}$, $M \approx 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$  ·  (c) $g = -\Delta V_g/\Delta r$; minus the slope of $V_g$ vs $r$

(a) Why the line passes through the origin M1·A1·A1

Field strength is $g = \dfrac{GM}{r^{2}} = (GM)\left(\dfrac{1}{r^{2}}\right)$. (M1)

This has the form $y = (\text{gradient})\,x$ with $x = 1/r^{2}$ and no intercept, so a graph of $g$ against $1/r^{2}$ is a straight line through the origin. (A1)

The gradient is $GM$. (A1)

(b) Gradient and planet mass M1·A1·M1·A1

Read the gradient from two widely separated points, e.g. $(1.60\times 10^{-15},\,0.64)$ and $(10.0\times 10^{-15},\,4.00)$: (M1)

$$ \text{gradient} = \frac{4.00 - 0.64}{(10.0 - 1.60)\times 10^{-15}} = \frac{3.36}{8.40\times 10^{-15}} \approx 4.0\times 10^{14}. $$

(A1)

Since the gradient equals $GM$: $M = \dfrac{\text{gradient}}{G}$. (M1)

$$ M = \frac{4.0\times 10^{14}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}} \approx 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}. $$

(A1)

(c) Field-potential relationship A1·A1·R1

The field strength is the negative gradient of the potential, $g = -\dfrac{\Delta V_g}{\Delta r}$. (A1)

So on a graph of $V_g$ against $r$, the field strength at a point equals minus the slope (the local gradient) of the curve. (A1)

The minus sign makes $g$ point toward decreasing potential, that is, inward toward the planet. (R1)

Insight. Linearising puts the unknown in the gradient: writing $g = (GM)(1/r^{2})$ makes a best-fit gradient yield $M$, far more reliable than dividing a single $(1/r^{2}, g)$ pair. Keep the field and potential scalings distinct: field strength is inverse-square ($1/r^{2}$) while potential is inverse-first-power ($1/r$), and the bridge between them is the gradient relation $g = -\Delta V_g/\Delta r$, the gravitational twin of $E = -\Delta V/\Delta r$ for electric fields in D.2.

(a) 直线为何过原点 M1·A1·A1

场强度为 $g = \dfrac{GM}{r^{2}} = (GM)\left(\dfrac{1}{r^{2}}\right)$。(M1)

此式具有 $y = (\text{斜率})\,x$ 形式,$x = 1/r^{2}$,无截距,故 $g$ 对 $1/r^{2}$ 的图为过原点的直线。(A1)

斜率为 $GM$。(A1)

(b) 斜率与行星质量 M1·A1·M1·A1

用相距较远的两点读斜率,如 $(1.60\times 10^{-15},\,0.64)$ 与 $(10.0\times 10^{-15},\,4.00)$:(M1)

$$ \text{斜率} = \frac{4.00 - 0.64}{(10.0 - 1.60)\times 10^{-15}} = \frac{3.36}{8.40\times 10^{-15}} \approx 4.0\times 10^{14}. $$

(A1)

因斜率等于 $GM$:$M = \dfrac{\text{斜率}}{G}$。(M1)

$$ M = \frac{4.0\times 10^{14}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}} \approx 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}. $$

(A1)

(c) 场与势的关系 A1·A1·R1

场强度是势的负梯度,$g = -\dfrac{\Delta V_g}{\Delta r}$。(A1)

故在 $V_g$ 对 $r$ 的图上,某点的场强度等于曲线斜率(局部梯度)的相反数。(A1)

负号使 $g$ 指向势减小方向,即指向行星内部。(R1)

要点。线性化把未知量放进斜率:写成 $g = (GM)(1/r^{2})$,最佳拟合斜率即给出 $M$,远比用单组 $(1/r^{2}, g)$ 相除可靠。务必区分场与势的标度:场强度为反平方($1/r^{2}$),势为反一次方($1/r$),二者的桥梁是梯度关系 $g = -\Delta V_g/\Delta r$,即 D.2 电场中 $E = -\Delta V/\Delta r$ 的引力孪生。

Q8HARDPaper 2geostationary satellite地球静止卫星[12 marks]

Geostationary satellite, $T = 8.64\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{s}$, Earth $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$, $R = 6.4\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$. (a) two conditions; (b) show $r = (GMT^{2}/4\pi^{2})^{1/3}$ and find it; (c) altitude; (d) orbital speed; (e) field strength at the orbit vs surface.地球静止卫星,$T = 8.64\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{s}$,地球 $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$,$R = 6.4\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$。(a) 两个条件;(b) 证明 $r = (GMT^{2}/4\pi^{2})^{1/3}$ 并求值;(c) 高度;(d) 轨道速度;(e) 轨道处场强与表面比较。

Answers:答案:  (b) $r \approx 4.2\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (c) altitude $\approx 3.6\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (d) $v \approx 3.1\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (e) $g \approx 0.22\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}$ ($\approx 1/44$ of surface)

(a) Conditions for a geostationary orbit B1·B1

The period must equal one sidereal day (matching Earth's rotation), so $T = 8.64\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{s}$, and the satellite must orbit eastward in the equatorial plane. (B1)

The orbit must be circular about Earth's centre so that the satellite stays fixed above one point on the equator. (B1)

(b) Orbital radius M1·A1·M1·A1

Gravity supplies the centripetal force, and with $v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}$ this gives Kepler's third law $T^{2} = \dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r^{3}$. (M1)

Rearranging for $r$: $r = \left(\dfrac{GMT^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}\right)^{1/3}$. (A1)

$$ r = \left(\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})(8.64\times 10^{4})^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}\right)^{1/3}. $$

(M1 for substitution)

$$ r = \left(7.57\times 10^{22}\right)^{1/3} \approx 4.2\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(c) Altitude above the surface M1·A1

Altitude is the orbital radius minus Earth's radius: $h = r - R = 4.23\times 10^{7} - 6.4\times 10^{6}$. (M1)

$$ h \approx 3.6\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(d) Orbital speed M1·A1

Use $v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T} = \dfrac{2\pi (4.23\times 10^{7})}{8.64\times 10^{4}}$. (M1)

$$ v \approx 3.1\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(e) Field strength at the orbit M1·A1

$g = \dfrac{GM}{r^{2}} = \dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})}{(4.23\times 10^{7})^{2}} \approx 0.22\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}$. (M1)

The surface value is $g_{0} = GM/R^{2} \approx 9.8\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}$, so the orbital field is about $0.22/9.8 \approx 1/44$ of the surface value, consistent with the inverse-square fall-off over a $\approx 6.6$-fold increase in $r$. (A1)

Insight. Geostationary problems are Kepler's third law read backwards: the period is fixed by the requirement to match Earth's spin, so you solve for $r$, not $T$. The single most common error is reporting the orbital radius as the altitude; always subtract Earth's radius for the height above the surface. The cube-root structure means a fixed-period orbit has exactly one radius, which is why all geostationary satellites share the same ring at $\approx 36\,000\ \mathrm{km}$ altitude.

(a) 地球静止轨道的条件 B1·B1

周期须等于一个恒星日(与地球自转一致),即 $T = 8.64\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{s}$,且卫星须在赤道平面内自西向东运行。(B1)

轨道须为绕地心的圆,使卫星固定在赤道上某点正上方。(B1)

(b) 轨道半径 M1·A1·M1·A1

引力提供向心力,结合 $v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}$ 得开普勒第三定律 $T^{2} = \dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r^{3}$。(M1)

对 $r$ 整理:$r = \left(\dfrac{GMT^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}\right)^{1/3}$。(A1)

$$ r = \left(\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})(8.64\times 10^{4})^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}\right)^{1/3}. $$

(代入得 M1)

$$ r = \left(7.57\times 10^{22}\right)^{1/3} \approx 4.2\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(c) 相对表面的高度 M1·A1

高度为轨道半径减地球半径:$h = r - R = 4.23\times 10^{7} - 6.4\times 10^{6}$。(M1)

$$ h \approx 3.6\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(d) 轨道速度 M1·A1

用 $v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T} = \dfrac{2\pi (4.23\times 10^{7})}{8.64\times 10^{4}}$。(M1)

$$ v \approx 3.1\times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(e) 轨道处的场强度 M1·A1

$g = \dfrac{GM}{r^{2}} = \dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})}{(4.23\times 10^{7})^{2}} \approx 0.22\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}$。(M1)

表面值为 $g_{0} = GM/R^{2} \approx 9.8\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}$,故轨道处场约为表面值的 $0.22/9.8 \approx 1/44$,与 $r$ 增大约 $6.6$ 倍下的反平方衰减一致。(A1)

要点。地球静止问题是开普勒第三定律的逆用:周期由"匹配地球自转"固定,故求解 $r$ 而非 $T$。最常见的错误是把轨道半径当作高度;求距表面的高度时务必减去地球半径。立方根结构意味着固定周期的轨道恰有一个半径,这正是所有地球静止卫星共处 $\approx 36\,000\ \mathrm{km}$ 高度同一环带的原因。
Q9HARDPaper 2HL ONLYorbit energy, raising an orbit轨道能量与抬升轨道[10 marks]

Satellite $m = 2500\ \mathrm{kg}$, $r_{1} = 7.0\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$, raised to $r_{2} = 1.4\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}$, Earth $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$. (a) show $E = -GMm/2r$; (b) energy in the lower orbit; (c) energy to raise it; (d) why a higher orbit is slower despite added energy.卫星 $m = 2500\ \mathrm{kg}$,$r_{1} = 7.0\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$,抬升至 $r_{2} = 1.4\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}$,地球 $M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$。(a) 证明 $E = -GMm/2r$;(b) 较低轨道能量;(c) 抬升所需能量;(d) 为何补充能量后更高轨道反而更慢。

Answers:答案:  (a) $E = -\dfrac{GMm}{2r}$  ·  (b) $E_{1} \approx -7.1\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}$  ·  (c) $\Delta E \approx +3.6\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}$  ·  (d) added energy raises (less negative) $E$ but lowers $E_k$

(a) Total energy of a circular orbit M1·M1·A1

For a circular orbit gravity is the centripetal force, $\dfrac{GMm}{r^{2}} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}$, so $mv^{2} = \dfrac{GMm}{r}$ and the kinetic energy is $E_k = \tfrac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \dfrac{GMm}{2r}$. (M1)

The potential energy is $E_p = -\dfrac{GMm}{r}$. (M1)

$$ E = E_k + E_p = \frac{GMm}{2r} - \frac{GMm}{r} = -\frac{GMm}{2r}. $$

(A1)

(b) Energy in the lower orbit M1·A1

$E_{1} = -\dfrac{GMm}{2r_{1}} = -\dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})(2500)}{2(7.0\times 10^{6})}$. (M1)

$$ E_{1} \approx -7.1\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}. $$

(A1)

(c) Energy required to raise the orbit M1·M1·A1

The energy in the higher orbit is $E_{2} = -\dfrac{GMm}{2r_{2}} \approx -3.6\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}$. (M1)

The energy that must be supplied is the difference: (M1)

$$ \Delta E = E_{2} - E_{1} = (-3.57\times 10^{10}) - (-7.14\times 10^{10}) \approx +3.6\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}. $$

(A1)

(d) The slower-but-higher-energy paradox A1·R1

Adding energy makes the total $E = -GMm/2r$ less negative, which requires a larger $r$. (A1)

But the kinetic energy $E_k = GMm/2r$ also falls as $r$ grows, so the orbital speed $v = \sqrt{GM/r}$ decreases. The supplied energy goes into potential energy (which rises by $2|\Delta E_k|$), more than offsetting the drop in kinetic energy. (R1)

Insight. The orbit-energy trio $E_k = -E$, $E_p = 2E$, $E = -GMm/2r$ packs the entire energetics of a circular orbit into one line. The "paradox" dissolves once you separate total energy from kinetic energy: a higher orbit has greater (less negative) total energy yet smaller speed, because potential energy climbs twice as fast as kinetic energy falls. This is exactly why a drag-decaying satellite paradoxically speeds up as it spirals inward.

(a) 圆轨道总能量 M1·M1·A1

圆轨道中引力即向心力,$\dfrac{GMm}{r^{2}} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}$,故 $mv^{2} = \dfrac{GMm}{r}$,动能 $E_k = \tfrac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \dfrac{GMm}{2r}$。(M1)

势能为 $E_p = -\dfrac{GMm}{r}$。(M1)

$$ E = E_k + E_p = \frac{GMm}{2r} - \frac{GMm}{r} = -\frac{GMm}{2r}. $$

(A1)

(b) 较低轨道的能量 M1·A1

$E_{1} = -\dfrac{GMm}{2r_{1}} = -\dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.0\times 10^{24})(2500)}{2(7.0\times 10^{6})}$。(M1)

$$ E_{1} \approx -7.1\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}. $$

(A1)

(c) 抬升轨道所需能量 M1·M1·A1

较高轨道能量为 $E_{2} = -\dfrac{GMm}{2r_{2}} \approx -3.6\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}$。(M1)

须提供的能量为二者之差:(M1)

$$ \Delta E = E_{2} - E_{1} = (-3.57\times 10^{10}) - (-7.14\times 10^{10}) \approx +3.6\times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{J}. $$

(A1)

(d) 更高却更慢的矛盾 A1·R1

补充能量使总能量 $E = -GMm/2r$ 变得不那么负,这要求更大的 $r$。(A1)

但动能 $E_k = GMm/2r$ 也随 $r$ 增大而减小,故轨道速度 $v = \sqrt{GM/r}$ 下降。补充的能量进入势能(其上升量为 $2|\Delta E_k|$),足以超过动能的下降。(R1)

要点。轨道能量三式 $E_k = -E$、$E_p = 2E$、$E = -GMm/2r$ 把圆轨道的全部能量学浓缩为一行。一旦把总能量与动能分开,"矛盾"便消解:更高轨道总能量更大(不那么负),速度却更小,因为势能上升的速度是动能下降的两倍。这正是因阻力衰减的卫星在向内螺旋时反而加速的原因。
Q10HARDPaper 2HL ONLYescape speed, bound vs unbound energy逃逸速度、束缚与非束缚能量[8 marks]

Probe $1200\ \mathrm{kg}$ launched at $1.0\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ from a planet $M = 4.9\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$, $R = 6.1\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$. (a) escape speed; (b) total energy at launch, bound or unbound; (c) if bound, the maximum distance from the centre.探测器 $1200\ \mathrm{kg}$ 以 $1.0\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 从行星 $M = 4.9\times 10^{24}\ \mathrm{kg}$,$R = 6.1\times 10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}$ 发射。(a) 逃逸速度;(b) 发射时总能量,束缚还是非束缚;(c) 若束缚,到中心的最大距离。

Answers:答案:  (a) $v_{esc} \approx 1.0\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (b) $E \approx -4.3\times 10^{9}\ \mathrm{J} < 0$, bound  ·  (c) $r_{\max} \approx 9.1\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}$

(a) Escape speed M1·A1

$v_{esc} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2(6.67\times 10^{-11})(4.9\times 10^{24})}{6.1\times 10^{6}}}$. (M1)

$$ v_{esc} = \sqrt{1.07\times 10^{8}} \approx 1.0\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(b) Total energy and bound/unbound M1·A1·R1

Total mechanical energy at launch is $E = \tfrac{1}{2}mv^{2} - \dfrac{GMm}{R}$. (M1)

$$ E = \tfrac{1}{2}(1200)(1.0\times 10^{4})^{2} - \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(4.9\times 10^{24})(1200)}{6.1\times 10^{6}}. $$ $$ E = 6.00\times 10^{10} - 6.43\times 10^{10} \approx -4.3\times 10^{9}\ \mathrm{J}. $$

(A1)

Since $E < 0$ the probe is bound: it rises, slows to rest at a maximum distance, and falls back. The launch speed $1.0\times 10^{4}$ is just below the escape speed, so it does not escape. (R1)

(c) Maximum distance from the centre M1·M1·A1

At the highest point $v = 0$, so all the energy is potential: $E = -\dfrac{GMm}{r_{\max}}$. (M1)

$$ r_{\max} = -\frac{GMm}{E} = -\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(4.9\times 10^{24})(1200)}{-4.29\times 10^{9}}. $$

(M1)

$$ r_{\max} \approx 9.1\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

Insight. The sign of the total energy is the whole story: $E < 0$ is bound, $E \ge 0$ escapes, and $E = 0$ is the escape-speed boundary. For the turning point set $v = 0$ so $E$ equals the potential energy alone, then solve $E = -GMm/r_{\max}$; never use a constant-$g$ suvat equation, since $g$ varies enormously over a distance of many planet radii. Note $r_{\max}$ is measured from the centre, so the height gained above the surface is $r_{\max} - R$.

(a) 逃逸速度 M1·A1

$v_{esc} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2(6.67\times 10^{-11})(4.9\times 10^{24})}{6.1\times 10^{6}}}$。(M1)

$$ v_{esc} = \sqrt{1.07\times 10^{8}} \approx 1.0\times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(b) 总能量与束缚/非束缚 M1·A1·R1

发射时总机械能为 $E = \tfrac{1}{2}mv^{2} - \dfrac{GMm}{R}$。(M1)

$$ E = \tfrac{1}{2}(1200)(1.0\times 10^{4})^{2} - \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(4.9\times 10^{24})(1200)}{6.1\times 10^{6}}. $$ $$ E = 6.00\times 10^{10} - 6.43\times 10^{10} \approx -4.3\times 10^{9}\ \mathrm{J}. $$

(A1)

因 $E < 0$,探测器为束缚态:它上升、在最大距离处减速至静止,然后回落。发射速率 $1.0\times 10^{4}$ 略低于逃逸速度,故不能逃逸。(R1)

(c) 到中心的最大距离 M1·M1·A1

最高点 $v = 0$,故全部能量为势能:$E = -\dfrac{GMm}{r_{\max}}$。(M1)

$$ r_{\max} = -\frac{GMm}{E} = -\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(4.9\times 10^{24})(1200)}{-4.29\times 10^{9}}. $$

(M1)

$$ r_{\max} \approx 9.1\times 10^{7}\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

要点。总能量的符号道尽一切:$E < 0$ 束缚,$E \ge 0$ 逃逸,$E = 0$ 为逃逸速度的分界。求最高点时令 $v = 0$,使 $E$ 等于纯势能,再解 $E = -GMm/r_{\max}$;切勿用恒定 $g$ 的 suvat 方程,因为在数个行星半径的范围内 $g$ 变化极大。注意 $r_{\max}$ 从中心起算,故相对表面升高的高度为 $r_{\max} - R$。
