We watch two identical astronomical bodies A and B, each of mass m, fall toward each other from rest because of the gravitational force on each from the other. Their initial center-to-center separation is Ri. Assume that we are in an inertial reference frame that is stationary with respect to the center of mass of this twobody system. Use the principle of conservation of mechanical energy (Kf + Uf = Ki + Ui) to find the following when the centerto- center separation is 0.5Ri : (a) the total kinetic energy of the system, (b) the kinetic energy of each body, (c) the speed of each body relative to us, and (d) the speed of body B relative to body A. Next assume that we are in a reference frame attached to body A (we ride on the body). Now we see body B fall from rest toward us. From this reference frame, again use Kf + Uf = Ki + Ui to find the following when the center-to-center separation is 0.5Ri : (e) the kinetic energy of body B and (f) the speed of body B relative to body A. (g) Why…

Pluto and its satellite Charon have masses which are more similar to each other than any other knonw pair of orbiting bodies in the Solar system. How far from the center of pluto is the barycenter or center of mass of the Pluto-Charon system? Take the mass of Pluto to be 1.31 × 10^22 kg, and 1.59 × 10^21 kg for Charon (about one eighth that of Pluto). Assume Pluto and its moon Charon are separated by 19,640 km while the radius of Pluto and Charon are 1190 km and that of Charon are 606 km respectively. Treating Pluto and Charon as spherically symmetric objects, how far from Pluto is the barycenter of the Pluto - Charon pair, and is this point inside are outside of Pluto? Hint: Place Pluto at the origin and Charon on the x axis. A. 289 km; inside B. 781 km; inside C. 2130 km; outside D. 5910 km; outside

A 56.0-kg astronaut is in space, far from any objects that would exert a significant gravitational force on him. He would like to move toward his spaceship, but his jet pack is not functioning. He throws a 0.720-kg socket wrench with a velocity of 5.00 m/s in a direction away from the ship. After 0.500 s, he throws a 0.800-kg spanner in the same direction with a speed of 8.00 m/s. After another 9.90 s, he throws a mallet with a speed of 6.00 m/s in the same direction. The mallet has a mass of 1.20 kg. How fast is the astronaut moving after he throws the mallet?(assume all speeds are relative to the spaceship).
