In a 2-body system, a space craft is in a circular orbit at a fixed radius B (450*10^8) around a central star of mass M (6*10^120) Determine the total energy and angular momentum of the circular orbit. (v/m = -E/m) and angular momentum (l/m) Both of these values are normalised by the mass of the spacecraft.
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?
A space vehicle is traveling at 4450 km/h relative to the Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward with a speed of 82 km/h relative to the command module. The mass of the motor is four times the mass of the module. What is the speed (km/h) of the command module relative to Earth after the separation? (Note: this answer requires slightly higher precision than normal.)

A spaceship of mass 142kg is going to use a planet for a gravitational assist - that is, use the planet's gravity to change its direction of travel without expending any fuel. It is initially moving at a velocity of 205m/s and at an angle of∘ϕ0=61.8∘ at a distance 11500km from the center of the planet, as shown in the figure. Given an expression for the angular momentum of the spacecraft, using the coordinate system specified, in terms of m, r0, v0, ϕ0, and unit vectors i^, j^, and k^. If the spaceship whips around the planet to the other side so that the angle is ϕ = 33.9 degrees is moving at 83 m/s, how far, in kilometers, from the planet is it?
