. If we wanted to bring the 694 kg (approx. 3/4 ton) probe back to Earth upon completing its mission, how much energy would be needed completely escape Mars’ gravity?
here,
mass of Mars, M = 6.39 * 10^23 kg
radius of Mars , r = 3.3895 * 10^6 m
mass , m = 694 kg
the orbital speed , v = sqrt(2*GM/r)
the kinetic energy needed , KE = 0.5 * m * v^2
KE = 0.5 * m * ( 2 * G * M /r)
KE = 0.5 * 694 * ( 2 * 6.67 * 10^-11 * 6.39 * 10^24 /(3.3895 * 10^6))
KE = 8.73 * 10^10 J

Problem 3: The Rosetta spacecraft landed a probe on the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It has a mass of appeoximately 1 x 10 kg and has an average density of approximately 400 kg/m. It is far from spherical, but for this problem go ahead and assume it is spherical. Estimate the radius, the acceleration due to gravity at the surface and the escape velocity from its surface. (10 points) Problem 4: A GPS satellite has a mass of 1940 kg and is...
4. Use Kepler's Second Law and the fact that L-fxp to determine at which points in an elliptical orbit around the Sun a planet has maximum and minimum speeds. (Section 13.5 will help.) 5. At the end of example 13.10, there's an "Evaluate" blurb about how inside the surface of the Earth the force of gravity varies proportionally to the distance from the center, and it makes reference to the next chapter. which is about oscillation. Model the motion of...
Now we consider a black hole of the same mass as the Sun: Mbh 2x 1030 kg. (a) (2 marks) Show that if you are launching a rocket with velocity v upwards from a pl M, you can only escape the planet's gravity if you start from a radius r > 2GM/ t of mass Hint: Use Newtonian mechanics. What if your rocket is acutally a beam of light? If we forget about relativity for a minute, we can put...
1 What is the Earth's orbital speed as it orbits the Sun. Take the Earth/Sun distance to be 93 million miles (taking the Earth's orbit to be circular), the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 X 102 kg and the mass of the Sun to be 1.987 X 10*0 kg. Solve this problem using Newton's 2nd law directly 2. A 55.7 kg mass is lifted (at a constant velocity) from the ground to a vertical height of 1275 m....
Procedure: Materials: 1. apparatus 2. 2 pieces of metal track 3. plastic or metal ball 4. timer 5. meter stick 6. micrometer 7. 2 photogates Assemble your ramp as shown in Figure (1) in the next page. Then set up photogates in location 2 and 3. Measure the diameter (in m) of the metal balls (you will need it for speed calculations). Then, measure the weight (mass) of the ball (in kg). To have a better measurement of the time,...
These questions concern a space station, consisting of a long
thin uniform rod of mass 4.3 x 10^6 kg and length 769 meters, with
two identical uniform hollow spheres, each of mass 1.7 x 10^6 kg
and radius 218 meters, attached at the ends of the rod, as shown
below. Please note that none of the diagrams shown is drawn to
scale.
A. Suppose that the station starts out at rest (not rotating).
What we want is to get it...
What are the Solutions to Part B of Chapter 2 of Tillery Physics 9th edition.......kinda pointless for you guys to only have the solutions that the book has already. 1. What was the average speed in km/h of a car that travels 400.0 km in 4.5 h? 2. What was the average speed in km/h of a boat that moves 15.0 km across a lake in 45 min? 3. How much would a 80.0 kg person weigh (a) on Mars,...
Please ignore numbers 1 and 2. Only solve numbers 3 and 4.
Thanks.
We will again be considering the fictional Hermes spacecraft from Assignment #9. Assume the crew module has a moment of inertia of 1cm-232 × 106 kgm2. The necessary angular acceleration of the crew module to spin up to the desired rotational velocity during the first round trip to mars is 6.37 x 10-9 rad/s 1. If it is spun up using a pair of ion thrusters mounted...
4. Matlab Solvers: A Case Study in Mechanics Suppose we have two objects orbiting in space, with masses 1 - and , rotating around each other. For example, think of the earth and the moon, where the moon moves around the earth at distance 1. (Of course, here both the masses and the distance are normalized.) A third object, which is relatively much smaller and does not affect the motion of the first two, is also orbiting in space. Think...
Please work out 3 clearly and with units. Thanks!
1. A 10-g bullet travels vertically upwards at 1000 m/s, then strikes and passes through a 2.0-kg block initially at rest. The bullet emerges from the block with a speed of 400 m/s because it transfers momentum to the block. (a) How much momentum did the block gain? (b) How fast is the block now moving, and what is its kinetic energy? (c) Using energy considerations only, to what maximum height...
