A single bead can slide with negligible friction on a stiff wire that has been bent into a circular loop of radius 15.0 cm as shown. The circle is always in a vertical plane and rotates steadily about its vertical diameter with a period of 0.450 s. The position of the bead is described by the angle θ that the radial line, from the center of the loop to the bead, makes with the vertical. (a) At what angle up from the bottom of the circle can the bead stay motionless relative to the turning circle? (b) What If? Repeat the problem, this time taking the period of the circle’s rotation as 0.850 s. (c) Describe how the solution to part (b) is different from the solution to part (a).

Consider a spacecraft in an elliptical orbit around the earth. At the low point, or perigee, of its orbit, it is 300 km above the earth's surface; at the high point, or apogee, it is 4500 km above the earth's surface. What is the period of the spacecraft's orbit? Using conservation of angular momentum, find the ratio of the spacecraft's speed at perigee to its speed at apogee. Using conservation of energy, find the speed at perigee and the speed at apogee. It is necessary to have the spacecraft escape from the earth completely. If the spacecraft's rockets are fired at perigee, by how much would the speed have to be increased to achieve this? What if the rockets were fired at apogee?
