Suppose a piece of dust has fallen on a CD. If the spin rate of the CD is 500 rpm, and the piece of dust is 4.3 cm from the center, what is the total distance traveled by the dust in 3 minutes? (Ignore accelerations due to getting the CD rotating.)
An Earth satellite has its apogee at 2500 km above the surface of Earth and perigee at 500 km above the surface of Earth. At apogee its speed is 730 m/s. What is its speed at perigee? Earth’s radius is 6370 km (see below).
What if another planet the same size as Earth were put into orbit around the Sun along with Earth. Would the moment of inertia of the system increase, decrease, or stay the same?
A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are sueful for communication and weather observation because the satellite remains above the same point on Earth (provided it orbits in the equatorial plane in the same direction as Earth’s rotation). Calculate the radius of such an orbit based on the data for Earth in Appendis D.
A satellite in a geosynchronous circular orbit is 42,164.0 km from the center of Earth. A small asteroid collides with the satellite sending it into an elliptical orbit of apogee 45,000.0 km. What is the speed of the satellite at apogee? Assume its angular momentum is conserved.
Why is the following situation impossible? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.
The perihelion of Halley’s comet is 0.586 AU and the aphelion is 17.8 AU. Given that its speed at perihelion is 55 km/s, what is the speed at aphelion ( IAU=1.4961011m )? (Hint: You may use either conservation of energy or angular momentum, but the latter is much easier.)
A space station consists of a giant rotating hollow cylinder of mass 106kg including people on the station and a radius of 100.00 m. It is rotating in space at 3.30 rev/min in order to produce artificial gravity. If 100 people of an average mass of 65.00 kg spacewalk to an awaiting spaceship, what is the new rotation rate when all the people are off the station?
Consider an asteroid with a radius of 17 km and a mass of 3.8×1015 kg. Assume the asteroid is roughly spherical. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the asteroid? Suppose the asteroid spins about an axis through its center, like the Earth, with a rotational period T .What is the smallest value T can have before loose rocks on the asteroid's equator begin to fly off the surface? (Answer: T = # h)
A man-made satellite orbits the earth in a circular orbit that has a radius of 21000 km. The mass of the Earth is 5.97e+24 kg. What is the tangential speed of the satellite?
A 4.00 kg mass is moving in a circular path of radius 3.20 m with a constant linear speed of 6.20 m/s. The radial force on the mass is
A 1500-kg satellite orbits a planet in a circular orbit of radius 6.2 × 106 m from the center of the planet. What is the angular momentum, in kg m2/s, of the satellite, with respect from an axis from the center of the planet, if it completes one orbit every 1.5 × 104 s?
