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.

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
To mend satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.350M/S intend to dock. The first has a mass of 5.50×10^3 kg , and the second a mass of 7.50×10^3 kg .

Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. m/s ?

In the figure, two satellites, A and B, both of mass m = 49.1 kg, move in the same circular orbit of radius r = 7410 km around Earth (mass ME = 5.98×1024 kg) but in opposite senses of rotation and therefore on a collision course. (a) Find the total mechanical energy EA+ EB of the two satellites + Earth system before the collision. (b) If the collision is completely inelastic so that the wreckage remains as one piece of tangled material (mass = 2m), find the total mechanical energy immediately after the collision. (c) Just after the collision, is the wreckage falling directly toward Earth’s center or orbiting around Earth?

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 .
