What is the escape speed of a satellite located at the Moon’s orbit about Earth? Assume the Moon is not nearby.
It was shown that the energy required to lift a satellite into a low Earth orbit (the change in potential energy) is only a small fraction of the kinetic energy needed to keep it in orbit. Is this true for larger orbits? Is there a trend to the ratio of kinetic energy to change in potential energy as the size of the orbit increase?
Find the speed needed to escape from the solar system starting from the surface of Earth. Assume there are no other bodies involved and do not account for the fact that Earth is moving in its orbit. [Hint: Equation 13.6 does not apply. Use Equation 13.5 and include the potential energy of both Earth and the Sun. Substituting the values for Earth’s mass and radius directly into Equation 13.6, we obtain vesc=2GMR=2(6.67 10 11Nm2/kg2)(5.96 10 24kg)(6.37 106m)=1.12104m/s That is about 11 km/s or 25,000 mph. To escape the Sun, starting from Earth’s orbit, we use R=RES=1.501011m and MSum=1.991030kg . The result is vesc=4.21104m/s or about 42 km/s. We have 12mvesc2GMmR=12m02GMm=0 Solving for the escape velocity,
To find the difference in gravitational potential energies, the difference in heights is used. What is used to find the difference in kinetic energies?
Explain why it is easier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path rather than one straight up the side. Is your increase in gravitational potential energy the same in both cases? Is your energy consumption the same in both?
If a spacecraft is headed for the outer solar system, it may require several gravitational slingshots with planets in the inner solar system. If a spacecraft undergoes a head-on slingshot with Venus as in Example 11.6, find the spacecrafts change in speed vS. Hint: Venuss orbital period is 1.94 107 s, and its average distance from the Sun is 1.08 1011 m.
A planet has two moons with identical mass. Moon 1 is in a circular orbit of radius r. Moon 2 is in a circular orbit of radius 2r. The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the planet on Moon 2 is (a) four times as large (b) twice as large (c) the same (d) half as large (e) one-fourth as large as the gravitational force exerted by the planet on Moon 1.
A particle is projected vertically upward in a constant gravitational field with an initial speed 0. Show that if there is a retarding force proportional to the square of the instantaneous speed, the speed of the particle when it returns to the initial position is 0t02+t2 where t, is the terminal speed.
