On the potential energy in a gravitationally bound two-body system with arbitrary mass distribution | K. Wilhelm
; B.N. Dwivedi

12 Feb 2015 | Abstract: | The potential energy problem in a gravitationally bound two-body system has
recently been studied in the framework of a proposed impact model of
gravitation (Wilhelm and Dwivedi 2015). The result was applied to the free fall
of the so-called Mintrop--Ball in G"ottingen with the implicit assumption that
the mass distribution of the system is extremely unbalanced. An attempt to
generalize the study to arbitrary mass distributions indicated a conflict with
the energy conservation law in a closed system. This necessitated us to
reconsider an earlier assumption made in selecting a specific process out of
two options (Wilhelm et al. 2013). With the result obtained here we can now
make an educated selection and reverse our choice. The consequences are
presented and discussed in detail for several processes. Energy and momentum
conservation could now be demonstrated in all cases. | Source: | arXiv, 1502.5662 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
