- A spacecraft is in a 400 km by 800 km elliptical orbit and must transfer to a 16,000 km by 25,000 km orbit. Compare the Av requirements if the spacecraft: a. departs the initial orbit at periapsis and arrives at the final orbit at apoapsis b. departs the initial orbit at apoapsis and arrives at the final orbit at periapsis c. Conduct the same calculations if the roles of the initial and final orbits are reversed. That is, the spacecraft starts in the 16,000 km by 25,000 km orbit and transfers to the 400 km by 800 km orbit.arrow_forwardA space colony at L5 would have effectively an unlimited supply of rocket fuel plastic hydrogen water sunlightarrow_forwardA planet orbits a star in a different stellar system The mass of the planet is 2 times Jupiter's mass and 5 times the distance from the star than Jupiter is from the sun How does the force of gravity change for this new system if the star is 4 Solar Mass?arrow_forward

Discuss the kinetic and potential energy of the ball on the end of a pendulum as it swings from point A to point B. Explain the kinetic energy and potential energy of the ball at each point and what happens to energy as the ball moves from point A to point B. In your discussion, answer the following questions: When is the kinetic energy of the ball zero and when is it at its highest? When is its potential energy at its lowest and at its highest?

This produces a steadyconcentration of C14 in the atmosphere once the decay rate of the C14 back intoN14 matches the conversion rate from the cosmic ray flux (which is assumedto be constant for reasons you can ask me about if you want) a) What kind of radiation (what kind of particle) does the C14 emit when it decays? Tellme how you know?b) The concentration of C14 in plants (and animals) comes into equilibrium with the at-mosphere because living things use the ambient carbon to make their cellular structures.However, once a plant dies, it no longer consumes C14. The C14 starts to decay away—allowing us to calculate when the plant died because the C14/C12 ratio doesn’t match theatmosphere. If the half life of C14 is 5000 years, what is the age of a piece of charcoal froma site from the Clovis peoples of North America if the concentration of C14 is 15% of…arrow_forward
