Model the Moons orbit around the Earth as an ellipse with the Earth at one focus. The Moons farthest distance (apogee) from the center of the Earth is rA = 4.05 108 m, and its closest distance (perigee) is rP = 3.63 108 m. a. Calculate the semimajor axis of the Moons orbit. b. How far is the Earth from the center of the Moons elliptical orbit? c. Use a scale such as 1 cm 108 m to sketch the EarthMoon system at apogee and at perigee and the Moons orbit. (The semiminor axis of the Moons orbit is roughly b = 3.84 108 m.)
The Sun has a mass of approximately 1.99 1030 kg. a. Given that the Earth is on average about 1.50 1011 m from the Sun, what is the magnitude of the Suns gravitational field at this distance? b. Sketch the magnitude of the gravitational field due to the Sun as a function of distance from the Sun. Indicate the Earths position on your graph. Assume the radius of the Sun is 7.00 108 m and begin the graph there. c. Given that the mass of the Earth is 5.97 1024 kg, what is the magnitude of the gravitational force on the Earth due to the Sun?
Let gM represent the difference in the gravitational fields produced by the Moon at the points on the Earths surface nearest to and farthest from the Moon. Find the fraction gM/g, where g is the Earths gravitational field. (This difference is responsible for the occurrence of the lunar tides on the Earth.)
What is the orbital radius of an Earth satellite having a period of 1.00 h? (b) What is unreasonable about this result?

The astronaut orbiting the Earth in Figure P3.27 is preparing to dock with a Westar VI satellite. The satellite is in a circular orbit 600 km above the Earth’s surface, where the free-fall acceleration is 8.21 m/s2. Take the radius of the Earth as 6 400 km. Determine the speed of the satellite and the time interval required to complete one orbit around the Earth, which is the period of the satellite. Figure P3.27

(a) four times as large as that on Moon 1 (b) twice as large as that on Moon 1 (c) equal to that on Moon 1 (d) half as large as that on Moon 1 (e) one-fourth as large as that on Moon 1
If a spacecraft is headed for the outer solar system, it may require several gravitational slingshots with planets in the inner solar system. If a spacecraft undergoes a head-on slingshot with Venus as in Example 11.6, find the spacecrafts change in speed vS. Hint: Venuss orbital period is 1.94 107 s, and its average distance from the Sun is 1.08 1011 m.

What is the gravitational acceleration close to the surface of a planet with a mass of 2ME and radius of 2RE where ME, and RE are the mass and radius of Earth, respectively? Answer as a multiple of g, the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration near Earths surface. (See Section 7.5.)
