How much energy is required to move a satellite of mass 1000 kg from the surface of the Earth to an altitude 3 times the radius of the Earth? I was wondering if I did this question correctly.
A 500-kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 500 km above the Earth’s surface. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually falls to the Earth’s surface, where it hits the ground with a speed of 2.00 km/s. How much energy was transformed into internal energy by means of air friction?
You are out on a date, eating dinner in a restaurant that has several television screens. Most of the screens are showing sports events, but one near you and your date is showing a discussion of an upcoming voyage to Mars. (a) Your date says, "I wonder how long it takes to get to Mars?” Wanting to impress your date, you grab a napkin and draw Figure P13.9 on it. Even more impressively, you tell your date that the minimum-energy transfer orbit from Earth to Mars is an elliptical trajectory with the departure planet corresponding to the perihelion of the ellipse and the arrival planet at the aphelion. You pull out your smartphone, activate the calculator feature, and perform a calculation on another napkin to answer the question above that your date asked about the transfer time interval to Mars on this particular trajectory. (b) What If? Your date is impressed, but then asks you to determine the transit time to an inner planet, like Venus.
A spaceship with m = 1.00 ✕ 104 kg is in a circular orbit around the Earth, h = 800 km above its surface. The ship's captain fires the engines in a direction tangent to the orbit, and the spaceship assumes an elliptical orbit around the Earth with an apogee of d = 3.00 ✕ 104 km, measured from the Earth's center. How much energy (in J) must be used from the fuel to achieve this orbit? (Assume that all the fuel energy goes into increasing the orbital energy and that the perigee distance is equal to the initial radius.)
How much energy is required to lift a 9000 kg Soyuz vehicle from Earth’s surface to the height of ISS, 400 km above the surface?
The IKAROS spacecraft, launched in 2010, was designed to test the feasibility of solar sails for spacecraft propulsion. These large, ultralight sails are pushed on by the force of light from the sun, so the spacecraft doesn't need to carry any fuel. The force on IKAROS's sails was measured to be 1.12 mNmN. If this were the only force acting on the 290 kgkg spacecraft, by how much would its speed increase after 9.0 months of flight? Assume there are 30 days in each month.
It is proposed to use a uniform disk 50 cm in radius turning at 300 rev/s as an energy-storage device in a bus. How much mass must the disk have it t is to be capable, while coasting to rest, of furnishing the energy equivalent of a 100-hp (75 kW) motor operating for 10 min?
