1. An 8000 kg satellite is launched from the surface of the Earth into outer space. What initial speed is needed by the satellite in order to reach a great (i.e., infinite) distance from the Earth, neglecting the effects of air resistance in the atmosphere? (G = 6.67 × 10−11 N·m2/kg2, ME = 5.97 × 1024 kg, RE = 6.37 × 106 m.) A)9,200 m/s. B)18,900 m/s. C)11,180 m/s. D)25,200 m/s. E)8,450 m/s.

6) (12 pts.) A meteor of mass m is approaching earth as shown on the sketch. The distance h on the sketch below is called the impact parameter. The radius of the earth is RE , and the mass of the earth is mE. Suppose the meteor has an initial speed of v0 and that the meteor started very far away (infinitely far) from the earth. Suppose the meteor just grazes the earth. You may ignore all other gravitational forces...

(a) Imagine that a space probe could be fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 4.98 104 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.) (b) What If? The speed provided in part (a) is very difficult to achieve...

A possible means of space flight is to place a perfectly reflecting aluminized sheet into orbit around the Earth and then use the light from the Sun to push this "solar sail." Suppose a sail of area A 5.9010 m2 and mass m 4,800 kg is placed in orbit facing the Sun. Ignore all gravitational effects and assume a solar intensity of 1,370 W/m2 (a) What force (in N) is exerted on the sail? (Enter the magnitude.) 4.47 If you...

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the Earth and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which orbits the Earth? Assume the distance from the center of the Earth to the HST is 6,930 km, the mass of the Earth is 5.97 x 1024 kg, the mass of the HST is 1.11 x 104 kg, and G=6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2.

(1 point) At what speed should a space probe be fired from the earth if it is required to still be traveling at a speed of 3.98 km/s, even after coasting to an exceedingly great distance from the planet (a distance that is essentially infinite)?

2. To get from Earth to Saturn as economically and quickly as possible, spacecraft make use of an elliptical transfer trajectory called the Hohmann transfer orbit. As shown in the diagram, below, Hohmann transfer facilitates a smooth transition between two planetary bodies in roughly circular orbits located on the same plane. For our solar system, this plane is known as the ecliptic. Using data you can find online for the orbits of Earth, Saturn and the Sun and assuming that...
