Check Your Understanding Assume you are in a spacecraft in orbit about the Sun at Earth’s orbit, but far away from Earth (so that it can be ignored). How could you redirect your tangential velocity to the radial direction such that you could then pass by Mars’s orbit? What would be required to change just the direction of the velocity?
What is the orbital radius of an Earth satellite having a period of 1.00 h? (b) What is unreasonable about this result?
Check Your Understanding By what factor must the radius change to reduce the orbital velocity of a satellite by one-half? By what factor would this change the period?
Following the technique used in Gravitation Near Earth’s Surface, find the value of g as a function of the radius r from the center of a spherical shell planet of constant density with inner and outer radii Rin and Rout . Find g for both eq and for RinrRout . Assuming the inside of the shell is kept airless, describe travel inside the spherical shell planet.
A satellite in orbit around the earth is at an altitude of 107 percent of the earth's radius. Rounding off our old friend "g" to ten meters per second squared, what is the acceleration due to earth's gravity at the satellite? Your answer should be in meters per second squared, but do not put the unit, just the number.
Jules Verne in 1865 proposed sending men to the Moon by ring a space capsule from a 220m long cannonwith the nal velocity of 10.97km/s. What is the acceleration the occupants have to endure? Compare yourresult with our standard gravity of g = 9:8m/s^2: what multiple of g is it?
What would be the acceleration of gravity (in m/s2) at the surface of a world with nine times Earth's mass and five times its radius?
At the surface of a certain planet , the gravitational accceleration " g" has a magnitude of 16.0 m/s^2. A 24.0 kg brass ball is transported to this planet , what is the mass of the brass ball on the earth and on the planet ? mEarth , mplanet = ? and also what is the weight of the brass ball on the earth and on the planet wearth , w planet =?
A satellite (above the equator of the Earth) has a perigeum height of150 km, and the ratio between its maximum- and minimum velocity is2. What is its apogee height? What is its orbital equation? [Use theformulae of the previous exercises, problem 1.]
