For many years, astronomer Percival Lowell searched for a Planet X that might explain some of the perturbations observed in the orbit of Uranus. These perturbations were later explained when the masses of the outer planets and planetoids, particularly Neptune, became better measured (Voyager 2). At the time, however, Lowell had proposed the existence of a Planet X that orbited the Sun with a mean distance of 43 AU. With what period would this Planet X orbit the Sun?
An astronaut out on a spacewalk to construct a new section of the International Space Station walks with a constant velocity of 2.00 m/s on a flat sheet of metal placed on a flat, frictionless, horizontal honeycomb surface linking the two parts of the station. The mass of the astronaut is 75.0 kg, and the mass of the sheet of metal is 245 kg. a. What is the velocity of the metal sheet relative to the honeycomb surface? b. What is the speed of the astronaut relative to the honeycomb surface?
A spaceship at rest relative to a nearby star in interplanetary space has a total mass of 2.50 104 kg. Its engines fire at t = 0, steadily burning fuel at. 76.7 kg/s with an exhaust speed of 4.25 103 m/s. Calculate the spaceships (a) acceleration at t = 0, (b) mass at t = 125 s, (c) acceleration at t = 125 s, and (d) speed at t = 125 s, relative to the same nearby star.
A spacecraft cruising in space at a constant velocity of 2000 ft/s has a mass of 25,000 lbm. To slow down the spacecraft, a solid fuel rocket is fired, and the combustion gases leave the rocket at a constant rate of 150 lbm/s at a velocity of 5000 ft/s in the same direction as the spacecraft for a period of 5 s. Assuming the mass of the spacecraft remains constant, determine (a) the deceleration of the spacecraft during this 5-s period, (b) the change of velocity of the spacecraft during this time period, and (c) the thrust exerted on the spacecraft.
Pluto and its satellite Charon have masses which are more similar to each other than any other knonw pair of orbiting bodies in the Solar system. How far from the center of pluto is the barycenter or center of mass of the Pluto-Charon system? Take the mass of Pluto to be 1.31 × 10^22 kg, and 1.59 × 10^21 kg for Charon (about one eighth that of Pluto). Assume Pluto and its moon Charon are separated by 19,640 km while the radius of Pluto and Charon are 1190 km and that of Charon are 606 km respectively. Treating Pluto and Charon as spherically symmetric objects, how far from Pluto is the barycenter of the Pluto - Charon pair, and is this point inside are outside of Pluto? Hint: Place Pluto at the origin and Charon on the x axis. A. 289 km; inside B. 781 km; inside C. 2130 km; outside D. 5910 km; outside
The mass of Venus is 4.87 ✕ 1024 kg, and the mass of Mars is 6.42 ✕ 1023 kg. The average distance of separation, measured between their centers, is 1.20 ✕ 108 km. (a) Locate the center of mass (in m) of the Venus-Mars system as measured from the center of Venus. m from Venus's center (b) Is the center of mass of the system located within Venus? (Assume Venus has a radius of 6.05 ✕ 106 m.) Yes? No?
Two manned satellites approaching one another, at a relative speed of 0.250 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of 4.00×103kg, and the second a mass of 7.50×103kg. (a) Calculate the final velocity (after docking) by using the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest. (b) What is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) Repeat both parts by using the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. Explain why the change in velocity is different in the two frames, whereas the change in kinetic energy is the same in both.
We watch two identical astronomical bodies A and B, each of mass m, fall toward each other from rest because of the gravitational force on each from the other. Their initial center-to-center separation is Ri. Assume that we are in an inertial reference frame that is stationary with respect to the center of mass of this twobody system. Use the principle of conservation of mechanical energy (Kf + Uf = Ki + Ui) to find the following when the centerto- center separation is 0.5Ri : (a) the total kinetic energy of the system, (b) the kinetic energy of each body, (c) the speed of each body relative to us, and (d) the speed of body B relative to body A. Next assume that we are in a reference frame attached to body A (we ride on the body). Now we see body B fall from rest toward us. From this reference frame, again use Kf + Uf = Ki + Ui to find the following when the center-to-center separation is 0.5Ri : (e) the kinetic energy of body B and (f) the speed of body B relative to body A. (g) Why…
In the slingshot effect, the transfer of energy in an elastic collision is used to power a space probeprobe so that it can escape from the solar system. All velocity values are relative to an inertialinertial reference in which the center of the Sun remains at rest. Fig. 1(b) below shows a space probemoving at 10.4 km/s towards Saturn, which in turn is moving at 9.6 km/s towards the probe. Due todue to the gravitational force between Saturn and the probe, the probe goes around Saturn and moves in the opposite direction with speed vf .velocity vf . (a) Assuming this collision is one-dimensional and elastic, and the mass if Saturn is much greater than that of the probe, determine vfthat of the probe, determine vf . (b) By what factor does the kinetic energy increase? (c) Where does this energy come from?
A star with mass M and radius R collides head-on with another star of mass ¾*M and radius 4/5*R, and they coalesce to form a new start at rest whose radius is 6/5*R. Assume that initially the colliding stars had angular velocities with opposite directions but the same magnitude w. What is the magnitude and direction of the final’s stars angular velocity? (Express the magnitude as a fraction of w.)
