The astronaut orbiting the Earth in Figure P3.27 is preparing to dock with a Westar VI satellite. The satellite is in a circular orbit 600 km above the Earth’s surface, where the free-fall acceleration is 8.21 m/s2. Take the radius of the Earth as 6 400 km. Determine the speed of the satellite and the time interval required to complete one orbit around the Earth, which is the period of the satellite. Figure P3.27
An astronaut, whose mission is to go where no one has gone before, lands on a spherical planet in a distant galaxy. As she stands on the surface of the planet, she releases a small rock from rest and finds that it takes the rock 0.480 s to fall 1.90 m. If the radius of the planet is 8.60 * 107 m, what is the mass of the planet?
In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?
A satellite m = 500 kg orbits the earth at a distance d = 199 km, above the surface of the planet. The radius of the earth is re=6.38×106 m and the gravitational constant G =6.67×10-11 N m2/kg2 and the Earth's mass is me=5.98×1024 kg. What is the speed of the satellite in m/s?
A rocket is fired straight up, and it burns out at an altitude of 250 km when traveling at 6.00 km/s (at this point the rocket is too far from the surface of the earth to be affected by the earth gravitational pull). What maximum distance from the earth surface does the rocket travel before falling back to the earth? The radius of the earth is RE = 6.37 x 106 meters, the mass of the earth is ME = 5.98 x 1024 kg and G = 6.67 x 10-11 N∙m2/kg2
