- A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earths surface with an initial speed of 2.00 104 m/s. What will its speed be when it is very far from the Earth? Ignore atmospheric friction and the rotation of the Earth.

What will its speed be just before it hits our atmosphere? (You may ignore the size of the asteroid.)arrow_forward(a) Imagine that a space probe could be fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 5.48 x 10 m/s relative to the Sun. What would its speed be when it is very far from the Earth (in m/s)? Ignore atmospheric friction, the effects of other planets, and the rotation of the Earth. (Consider the mass of the Sun in your calculations.) Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m/s (b) What If? The speed provided in part (a) is very difficult to achieve technologically. Often, Jupiter is used as a "gravitational slingshot" to increase the speed of a probe to the escape speed from the solar system, which is 1.85 x 10 m/s from a point on Jupiter's orbit around the Sun (if Jupiter is not nearby). If the probe is launched from the Earth's surface at a speed of 4.10 x 10 m/s relative to the Sun, what is the increase in speed needed from the gravitational slingshot at Jupiter for the space probe to escape the solar…arrow_forward
- 14–83. A rocket of mass m is fired vertically from the surface of the earth, i.e., atr = r. Assuming that no mass is lost as it travels upward, determine the work it must do against gravity to reach a distance n. The force of gravity is F = GM,m/² (Eq. 13–1), where M is the mass of the earth and r the distance between the rocket and the center of the earth.arrow_forwardProblem 6 : Estimate the kinetic energy of the Mars with respect to the Sun as the sum of the terms, that due to its daily rotation about its axis, and that due to its yearly revolution about the Sun. [Assume the Mars is a uniform sphere with mass = 6.4×1023 kg , radius = 3.4×106 m , rotation period 24.7 h , orbital period 686 d and is 2.3×108 km from the Sun.] Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. (Kdaily+Kyearly=?)arrow_forwardThe escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with which an object of mass m must move to escape from the gravitational attraction of a much larger body, such as a planet of total mass M. The escape velocity is a function of the distance of the object from the center of the planet R, but unless otherwise specified this distance is taken to be the radius of the planet because it addresses the question "How fast does my rocket have to go to escape from the surface of the planet?" The key to making a concise mathematical definition of escape velocity is to consider the energy. If an object is launched at its escape velocity, what is the total mechanical energy Etotal of the object at a very large (i.e., infinite) distance from the planet? Follow the usual convention and take the gravitational potential energy to be zero at very large distances. ► View Available Hint(s) Etotal = Submit Part B Consider the motion of an object between a point close to the planet and a point very…arrow_forward

Four particles, each of mass 1.2 kg, are at the corners of a square of edge lengtharrow_forwardA system consists of N identical particles of mass m placed rigidly on the vertices of a regular polygon with each side of length l. If K₁ be the kinetic energy imparted to one of the particles so that it just escapes the gravitational pull of the system and thereafter kinetic energy K₂ is given by to the adjacent particle to escape, then the difference (K₁-K₂) isarrow_forwardConsider a distant planet that has twice the mass and twice the radius of the Earth.Is the escape speed on this planet greater than, less than, or equal to the escape speedon the Earth?

- A satellite is in an elliptic orbit around the earth. Its sped at perigee A is 8650 m/s. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed at the apogee C. Radius of earth is 6380 km.

If the radius of the planet is 5.82 x 10° m, calculate the small object's acceleration during the fall and the mass of the big planet.arrow_forwardPlanet Roton, with a mass of 7.0 * 10^24 kg and a radius of 1600 km, gravitationally attracts a meteorite that is initially at rest relative to the planet, at a distance great enough to take as infinite.The meteorite falls toward the planet. Assuming the planet is airless, find the speed of the meteorite when it reaches the planet’s surface.arrow_forward
