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.
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.)
Show that the values vA and vP of the speed of an earth satellite at the apogee A and the perigee P of an elliptic orbit are defined by the relationswhere M is the mass of the earth, and rA and rP represent, respectively, the maximum and minimum distances of the orbit to the center of the earth.
