- I Review Newton's law of gravity and Coulomb's law are both inverse-square laws. Consequently, there should be a "Gauss's law for gravity." Part A The electric field was defined as E = Fon g/g, and we used this to find the electric field of a point charge. Using analogous reasoning, what is the gravitational field g of a point mass? Write your answer using the unit vector r, but be careful with signs; the gravitational force between two "like masses" is attractive, not repulsive. Express your answer in terms of the variables M, r, unit vector î, and the gravitational constant G.

What is the speed of the blue ball after the collision? Write your answer as a fraction of v1. In other words, if you get v2 = 0.20v1, just enter 0.20.

The three ships, named Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, are arranged in a triangle with the line of travel in the plane of that triangle. They use a standard nautical coordinate system. "Ahead" and "Astern" describe the line of travel, with "Ahead" towards Sirius and "Astern" towards Sol. In the plane of the triangle formed by the three ships, to the left of the line of travel (when facing Ahead) is "Port", and to the right of the line of travel (when facing Ahead) is "Starboard". The questions below concern a time when the three ships are very far from any massive object (planet or star), and are cruising in a straight line at constant speed. Alpha is the largest ship, with a mass of 7.30 million kg . Beta has a mass of 5.20 million kg . Gamma, the smallest ship, has a mass of only 0.90 million kg .
