A projectile is fired from point A with an initial velocity v0. (a) Show that the radius of curvature of the trajectory of the projectile reaches its minimum value at the highest point B of the trajectory. (b) Denoting by 0 the angle formed by the trajectory and the horizontal at a given point C , show that the radius of curvature of the trajectory at C is p =pmin/cos3 0.
The cannon on a battleship ship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 39.0km What's the velocity of the shell? What maximum height does it reach? How many meters lower will its surface be 39 from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface of the ship? Does your answer imply that error introduced by the assumption of a flat earth in projectile motion is significant here?
The shuttle orbiter A is in a circular orbit of altitude 200 mi, while spacecraft B is in a geosynchronous circular orbit of altitude 22,300 mi. Find the relative position vector of A to B. Use g0 = 32.23 ft∕sec^2 for the surface-level gravitational acceleration and R = 3959 mi for the radius of the earth.
A particle is moving along a curved path. At a certaininstant when the slope of the path is 0.75, ax= 6 ft/s2 anday= 10 ft/s2. Compute the values of tangential (at) andnormal (an) components of the total acceleration at thisinstant and sketch how the path curves.
A projectile is shot straight up from the earth's surface at a speed of 1.00×104 km/hr .How high does it go?
Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the solar system, at a height of 25 km and with a radius of 312 km. If you are standing on the summit, with what Initial velocity would you have to fire a projectile from a cannon horizontally to clear the volcano and land on the surface of Mars? Note that Mars has an acceleration of gravity of 3.7m/s2 .
Check Your Understanding Assume you are in a spacecraft in orbit about the Sun at Earth’s orbit, but far away from Earth (so that it can be ignored). How could you redirect your tangential velocity to the radial direction such that you could then pass by Mars’s orbit? What would be required to change just the direction of the velocity?
