Model the Moons orbit around the Earth as an ellipse with the Earth at one focus. The Moons farthest distance (apogee) from the center of the Earth is rA = 4.05 108 m, and its closest distance (perigee) is rP = 3.63 108 m. a. Calculate the semimajor axis of the Moons orbit. b. How far is the Earth from the center of the Moons elliptical orbit? c. Use a scale such as 1 cm 108 m to sketch the EarthMoon system at apogee and at perigee and the Moons orbit. (The semiminor axis of the Moons orbit is roughly b = 3.84 108 m.)
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
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?
The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of our planet is 9.82 m/s2.If we approximate Earth as a perfect sphere with a radius of 6.371 million meters, (and if we could remove air resistance and clear a pathway completely around) how fast would you need to launch an object tangentially, and very nearto the surface (as shown below) so that it would orbit with uniform circularmotion?
A satellite in orbit around the earth is at an altitude of 107 percent of the earth's radius. Rounding off our old friend "g" to ten meters per second squared, what is the acceleration due to earth's gravity at the satellite? Your answer should be in meters per second squared, but do not put the unit, just the number.
A 1.07 kg mass is at the center of a uniform spherical shell of mass 1.06 * 10 ^ 20 * kg and radius 1.02 * 10 ^ 6 * m Find the resultant gravitational force on the mass? Also find the resultant gravitational force of the mass if it is placed just outside the shell? Magnitude? Direction? Find the value of g just outside the shell?
A planet orbits a star, in a year of length 4.05e7 s, in a nearly circular orbit of radius 2.51e11 m. With respect to the star, determine (a) the angular speed of the planet, (b) the tangential speed of the planet, and (c) the magnitude of the planet’s centripetal acceleration.
Let's assume that the Moon’s orbit around the Earth is a circle with radius 386,000 km and that the Moon completes one orbit every 27.3 days, what is the Moon’s speed in km/s relative to the Earth?
An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 2010 × 103 seconds (about 23 days) on average to complete one nearly circular revolution around the unnamed planet. If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 235.0 × 106 m and the planet has a radius of 3.30 × 106 m, calculate the moon's radial acceleration ?c .
The mean distance of an object A from the Sun is 19.6 x 10^9 km and the mean distance of object B from the Sun is 57.9 × 10^8 km. The period of Earth's revolutions is 1 year, what is the period of object B's revolution?
How fast are you going if you are in a car that has a mass of 3000kg and experiencing uniform circular motion created by a centripetal force of 65000N, if the radius of the circle is 10m?
