2. Mars Escape Velocity Physics lab students are sent to Mars to do experiments during an Earth virus pandemic. In one set of experiments, they are testing launch speeds for projectiles to exit the gravitational pull of Mars. Answer the questions below and show your work! Note: You can look up mass/radius values on the web and some can be found in your text! a) Find the escape velocity for a projectile launched vertically from the planet Mars. b) If a projectile was launched out horizontally from the planet Mars, would it have the same escape velocity? Explain. c) If a projectile is launched with an initial speed, v, that is comparable to, but less than the escape speed, derive an expression for the maximum height that can be attained by the projectile.

Explain why centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity in circular motion but not its magnitude.
Additional Problems A synchronous satellite. which always remains above the same point on a planet's equator, is put in circular orbit around Jupiter to study that planet's famous red spot. Jupiter rotates once every 9.84 h. Use the data of Table 7.3 to find the altitude of the satellite.
Explain what circular motion is, and provide an example problem to solve.
You're designing a highway so that the maximum centripetal acceleration on a curve is no more than 1.7 m/s2. What is the minimum curvature radius to accommodate a 52-km/h maximum speed? Give your answer in meters I know the formula involves a= v^2/r and we get r by itself; and then, we are to find minimum curvature radius. My question has to do with a conversion of 52 km to meters, and yes, km=1000 m. Can you help me to conceptualize (52 km/h)^2 to (14.4 m/s)^2 better?
Provide a diagram and show complete step by step solution. thank you In a test of a “g-suit,” a volunteer is rotated in a horizontal circle of radius 7.0 m. What must the period of rotation be so that the centripetal acceleration has a magnitude of (a) 3.0g ? (b) 10.0g ?
NASA uses a plane often called the "vomit comet" to reproduce the weightlessness of space in astronaut training. The plane travels in circular arcs at a speed of v = 285 m/s. What is the radius the pilot must fly to create weightlessness as they go around the top of the circular arc? Give your answer in meters.
1. Helicopters have small propeller on their tail to keep them from rotating in the opposite direction of their main lifting blades. Explain in terms of Newton's third law why the helicopter body rotates in the opposite direction to the blades. 2. Explain why centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity in circular motion but not its magnitude.

Moon’s orbit around the Earth is approximately circular, with a mean radius of 3.85x108 m. It takes 27.3 days for the Moon to complete one revolution around the Earth. Find:a) the mean orbital speed of the Moon.b) its centripetal acceleration.
Modern wind turbines are larger than they appear, and despite their apparently lazy motion, the speed of the blades tips can be quite high-many times higher than the wind speed. A turbine has blades 59 m long that spin at 12 rpm. At the tip of a blade, what is the speed? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
