The Anomalous Acceleration of Pioneer 10 toward the sun of
about 10^-8cm/sec^2 at various distances r from the sun can be associated with the fact that the velocity of the spacecraft is greater than the orbital velocity the spacecraft would have in a circular orbit at the same distance. This is necessary so that the spacecraft will not be made to move in orbit about the sun and could escape the solar system but it also implies that the attractive mass of the spacecraft is greater than it otherwise would be. Is the increase in mass consistent with the increase in mass with velocity according to Einstein: m=(m_0)(1-v^2/c^)^-1/2? No but there is a similarity if you think of the velocity of the spacecraft at a point in space not relative to the speed of light but to the orbital velocity at that point in space. How can an objects mass increase in this way? It is possible to describe the gravitational attraction between objects on the earth toward the center of the earth and of objects in the solar system toward the sun etc in terms of electrostatic dipoles in the objects radially oriented to these respective centers. The dipole dipole force varies inversely as the fourth power of distance while the gravitational force is an inverse square force. But if the size of the dipole is proportional to the distance of the dipole from another dipole eg a dipole in the spacecraft and a dipole in the sun then the dipole dipole force reduces to an inverse square force. The dipole in the craft is due to the net effect of dipoles in each element, each proton and neutron and the dipole in the sun is due to the net of the dipoles in each element of the plasma sun. The plausibility of electrostatic dipoles interacting in this way is shown as due to the decrease in interference between the dipoles as distance increases. That is, the primary determination of the size of the dipole is its speed. Its speed is caused by a force which produced and may continue to produce an accleration and at the same time an increase of polarization of charge in its elements eg protons and neutrons etc.. The details are given in http://www.bestweb.net/~sansbury. The speed of the craft,now 12km/sec according to Pioneer home page was about 36.67km/sec as it passed Jupiter while 29km per sec relative to the sun when it was on earth orbiting the sun. If the spacecraft was in orbit around the sun at a distance r from the sun it would have an orbital velocity of v from GM/r^2=v^2/r So its orbital velocity at a distance r can be compared to its actual velocity v*_r compared to v_r. The Pioneer 10 spacecraft is moving almost completely radially away from the sun such that the sine of the angle between its trajectory and a radial line to the sun is very small eg .001. The spacecraft is also free to rotate. According to this hypothesis there would be a change in the attraction of the spacecraft to the sun proportional to the difference between (GM/r)^1/2 and v*_r. If r=10^12 then ((6.67)(10^-11)(1.99)(10^30)/(10^12))^1/2 =3.66(10^3.5)=11.57km/sec about and the speed of the craft was probably more. Hence the attraction The attractive mass of an object on the earth directed to the center of the earth is assumed to be due to electrostatic dipole inside protons and neutrons of length 10^-18 meters so that (6.67)(10^-11) times [(1.67)(10^-27)]^2 = (9)(10^9)(es)^2 if s=(.9)(10-18) is the gravitational force between two protons one meter apart represented as the force between two electrostatic dipoles one meter part and colinearly and attractively oriented. This gravitational force may in fact be due to the horizontal component of the radial force between each proton and all those on a radius from each toward the center of the earth etc. And so the gravitational force between the sun and the earth could be written as the force between radially oriented dipoles: GmM/R^2 = 9(10^9)mM[6.02)(10^26)]^2 times kK times s*S* times (2.56) times 10-38 divided by R^2 where the dipoles are es* and eS* and e=1.6(10^-19)Coul.;this implies kKs*S*= (.0079)10^(-61-11+38) = 10^-36 approximatelySince the Sun is .75H+.25He so that 1.75kg of Sun contains 6.02 times 10^26 molecules each of which contains on average 1.75 protons+neutrons so 1kg of the gaseous Sun contains 6.02 times 10^26 protons+neutrons in a volume that is larger of course than that of 1 kg of a solid planet; but 1kg of any planet or the Sun contains the same number of protons+neutrons. There are about 2(10^30) kg in the Sun. Hence the Sun contains 6.02 times 10^26 times M or 12 times 10^56 and the Earth contains 6.02 times 10^26 times m or 3.59 times 10^51 unit dipoles in the Earth. The total dipoles a 1.2(10^57)k(s)RS* and 3.59(10^51)K(S)Rs*. Hence . Now RkS* and RKs* are the magnitudes of the dipoles associated with the Sun and planet respectively where R varies from around 1.5(10^11)meters ( 10^10 to 10^13 meters for the planets) But we also know that the Earth's dipoles cannot be much larger than atomic nuclei about 10^-15meters =RKs* that Ks*=10^-26 which implies kS*=10^-10 and also RkS*= 10^(-10+11) so the dipoles on the Sun would have to be 10 meters in length or the amount of charge in each dipole is more than e=^-19 etc. We assume, following the Wilson Bartlett relation between angular momentum and gravity, that dipoles in protons and neutrons on planets that produce their attraction to the sun is due to the orbital speed of the planets and so a part of the planet, like the spacecraft, when moving apart from the planet at a different speed will have its dipoles change and so its attractive mass will change. see http://www.bestweb.net/~sansbury |
