Assuming that the gravitational parameter is µ = 398600.4km3s2 and that the radius of the Earth is 6400km. QUESTION 2 A satellite is in an elliptical orbit with a semi major axis of 8000km and an eccentricity of 0.15. Determine the velocity of the satellite at apogee in kms (to 3sf). Assuming that the gravitational parameter is u = 398600.4km³s2 and that the radius of the Earth is 6400km. QUESTION 3 Determine the velocity of a satellite at perigee of a parabolic orbit if the altitude of perigee is 400km. Your answer should be in kms (to 4sf). Also assume the gravitational parameter is u = 398600.4km³s2 and that the radius of the Earth is around 6400km.

Find the Hohmann transfer velocities, vEllipseEarth and vEllipseMars ,needed for a trip to Mars. Use Equation 13.7 to find the circular orbital velocities for Earth and Mars.

The difference, v , at each point is the velocity boost or transfer velocity needed.

A spacecraft in the shape of a long cylinder has a length of 100 m, and its mass with occupants is 1 000 kg. Ii has strayed too close to a black hole having a mass 100 times that of the Sun (Fig. P11.11). The nose of the spacecraft points toward the black hole, and the distance between the nose and the center of the black hole is 10.0 km. (a) Determine the total force on the spacecraft. (b) What is the difference in the gravitational fields acting on the occupants in the nose of the ship and on those in the rear of the ship, farthest from the black hole? (This difference in accelerations grows rapidly as the ship approaches the black hole. It puts the body of the ship under extreme tension and eventually tears it apart.)
