A 1.5-lb ball that can slide on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a fixed point O by means of an elastic cord of constant k= 1 lb/in. and undeformed length 2 ft. The ball is placed at point A, 3 ft from O , and given an initial velocity v0 perpendicular to OA ., allowing the ball to come within a distance d = 9 in. of point O after the cord has become slack. Determine (a) the initial speed v0 of the ball, (b) its maximum speed.
At engine burnout on a mission, a shuttle had reached point A at an altitude of 40 mi above the surface of the earth and had a horizontal velocity v0. Knowing that its first orbit was elliptic and that the shuttle was transferred to a circular orbit as it passed through point B at an altitude of 170 mi, determine (a) the time needed for the shuttle to travel from A to B on its original elliptic orbit, (b) the periodic time of the shuttle on its final circular orbit.
A particle of mass m is projected from point A with an initial velocity v0 perpendicular to OA and moves under a central force F along an elliptic path defined by the equation r=r0 /(2 - cos 0) Using Eq. (12.35), show that F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r from the particle to the center of force 0.

- Two spheres, each of mass m, can slide freely on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Sphere A is moving at a speed v0 = 16 ft/s when it strikes sphere B which is at rest, and the impact causes sphere B to break into two pieces, each of mass m/2.a) Knowing that 0.7 s after the collision one piece reaches Point C and 1.17 s after the collision the other piece reaches Point D, determine the velocity of sphere A after the collision.b) Knowing that 0.7 s after the collision one piece reaches Point C and 1.17 s after the collision the other piece reaches Point D, determine the angle θ and the speeds of the two pieces after the collision.arrow_forwardTwo small balls A and B with masses 2m and m , respectively, are released from rest at a height h above the ground.

Knowing that μk= 0.6 between the block and the horizontal surface and e = 0.8 between the block and the sphere, determine after impact (a) the maximum height h reached by the sphere, (b) the distance x traveled by the block.arrow_forwardCommunication satellites are placed in a geosynchronous orbit, i.e., in a circular orbit such that they complete one full revolution about the earth in one sidereal day (23.934 h), and thus appear stationary with respect to the ground. Determine (a) the altitude of these satellites above the surface of the earth, (b) the velocity with which they describe their orbit. Give the answers in both SI and U.S. customary units.arrow_forward
- Determine the altitude reached by the spacecraft of Prob. 14.95 when all the fuel of its launching rocket has been consumed.Reference to Problem 14.95:A 540-kg spacecraft is mounted on top of a rocket with a mass of 19 Mg, including 17.8 Mg of fuel. Knowing that the fuel is consumed at a rate of 225 kg/s and ejected with a relative velocity of 3600 m/s, determine the maximum speed imparted to the spacecraft if the rocket is fired vertically from the ground.arrow_forwardThree identical small spheres, each weighting 2 lb, can slide freely on a horizontal frictionless surface. Spheres B and C are connected by a light rod and are at rest in the position shown when sphere B is struck squarely by sphere A, which is moving to the right with a velocity v0 = (8 ft/s)i . Knowing that θ = 30° and that the velocities of spheres A and B immediately after the impact are vA = (0.5 ft/s)i and vB = (3.75 ft/s)i + (vB)yj, determine (vB)y and the velocity of C immediately after impact.arrow_forwardIn Prob. 13.109, a space vehicle was in a circular orbit at an altitude of 225 mi above the surface of the earth. To return to earth it decreased its speed as it passed through A by firing its engine for a short interval of time in a direction opposite to the direction of its motion. Its resulting velocity as it reached point B at an altitude of 40 mi formed an angle fB = 60° with the vertical. An alternative strategy for taking the space vehicle out of its circular orbit would be to turn it around so that its engine pointed away from the earth and then give it an incremental velocity DvA toward the center O of the earth. This would likely require a smaller expenditure of energy when firing the engine at A, but might result in too fast a descent at B. Assuming that this strategy is used, use computational software to determine the values of fB and vB for an energy expenditure ranging from 5 to 100 percent of that needed in Prob. 13.109. 13.109.

The potential energy of the compressed spring is 120 J and the assembly has an initial velocity v0 of magnitude v0 = 8 m/s.
