- A satellite is in circular orbit around Earth at an altitude of three Earth radii above the surface. If the satellite uses onboard retro rockets to cut its speed to one half, at what distance from Earth can it establish a new stable circular orbit? Hint: vorbit =arrow_forwardA 180-lb man and a 120-lb woman stand side by side at both ends of the 300-lb boat, ready to dive, each with a 16-ft/s speed relative to the boat. Determine the speed of the boat after they both dive, if (a) the woman dives first, (b) the man dives first. (show your solution) choices of correct answer: 3.0723 km/hr ; 0.251 km/hr 13.0723 km/hr ;1.251 km/hr 10.095 km/hr; 10.2815 km/hr 18.0723 km/hr; 0.521 km/hr 0.251 km/hr; 8.0723 km/hrarrow_forwardThe amusement park ride consists of a 200-kg car and passenger that are traveling at 4.6 m/s along a circular path having a radius of 8 m. At t = 0, the cable OA is pulled in toward O at 0.5 m/s. (Figure 1) Part A: Determine the speed of the car when t = 4 s. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Part B:arrow_forward
- The path of motion of a 5-lb particle in the horizontal plane is described in terms of polar coordinates as r = (2t + 1) ft and u = (0.5t2 - t) rad, where t is in seconds. Determine the magnitude of the unbalanced force acting on the particle when t = 2 s.arrow_forwardA 2500-lb automobile is moving at a speed of 60 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, causing all four wheels to skid. Determine the time required to stop the automobile (a) on dry pavement (μk= 0.75), (b) on an icy road (μk= 0.10).arrow_forwardA 1400-kg automobile starts from rest and travels 400 m during a performance test. The motion of the automobile is defined by the relation a= 3.6e-0.0005 x, where a and x are expressed in m/s2 and meters, respectively. The magnitude of the aerodynamic drag is D = 0.35v2 , where D and v are expressed in newtons and m/s, respectively. Determine the power dissipated by the aerodynamic drag when (a) x = 200 m, (b) x = 400 m.arrow_forward
- The ball B has a mass of 14 kg and is attached to the end of a rod whose mass may be neglected as shown in (Figure 1). Part A: If the rod is subjected to a torque M=(3t2+5t+2) N⋅m where tt is in seconds, determine the speed of the ball when t = 2 s. The ball has a speed v= 2 m/sm/s when t = 0.

It collides with a second truck of mass 20 tonnes moving in the opposite direction at 60 kmph. After the collision the second truck has changed its speed to 2000 cm/s in the opposite direction as before the collision. Find: 0) the velocity of the first truck after the collision (ii) the coefficient of restitution.arrow_forward

The angular momentum of a particle about point A in a reference frame is defined as r dot mv where r is the radius vector from point A to the particle position, m is the particle mass, and v is the particle velocity. True Falsearrow_forwardA vehicle with a mass of 1500 kg begins its ascent from rest up a hill with an inclination percentage of 10% (for 100 meters of horizontal displacement there is a displacement of 10 meters in the vertical). If the vehicle reaches a speed of 60 km/h after traveling 100 m along the hill with constant acceleration, determine the power (in kW) that the motor must supply to the wheels when this speed is reached. Assume that the efficiency of the transmission of power from the engine to the wheels is ε = 0.89.arrow_forwardIf a ball is dropped from a height of 5 feet, determine velocity of the ball just before impact with the ground. Let positive y be upward, so the ball will have negative velocity. Provide your answer in ft/sec, but do not include units in your submittal.arrow_forward
