What is reduced mass?

Looking at the particles as small as atom or objects as large as the Earth, and the moon may be when calculating the behavior of objects moving around. Proton and electron or ground and moon circle each other with very different matter or the amount of each object affected by gravitational force. The use of a reduced mass equation can simplify the calculations of how everyone will behave in different situations.

As two objects turn around, they have a power that can be calculated by the second thermodynamic law of Sira Isaac Newton, which calculates the forces between objects based on their mass and distance. Newton (1642-1727) was a mathematician, chemist and physicist who formulated many concepts of planetary movement and gravity. His second law describes the forces that occur between two objects, but assume that objects are stationary. Reduced mass takes into account each object and their distance from Each different, give value that can be used in Newton's equation and other calculations for GravITACE and acceleration.

Earth and the Moon have very different sizes and it can be assumed that the Earth is the center of the rotation of both bodies. This is not entirely true, because the moon affects the point of rotation, called the center of rotation, because of its distance from the ground and its matter. The use of the center of the country would create errors in the calculation if they were not repaired for the mass of the moon.

The reduced mass is calculated from the weight of both objects multiplied together, then divided by the sum of the weight of two objects. The result can then be used to calculate the effects of strength and gravity, as if there was one mass at the point called the center of the rotation. An example of this is the connection of two balls with a rope, with different weights. Attempting to SPV balls would hold the rope in the middle would be unsuccessful. The experimenter would have to keep the rope closer to the heavier ball, which is the center of the rotation of both balls.

Calculations for reduced weight can also be used for small atomic particles. WhenThe electrons rotate around the atomic nucleus, forming the center of the mass and rotation at points other than in the center of the core. The reduced mass solution creates values ​​that can then be used for other molecular forces.
