Review. Two identical hard spheres, each of mass m and radius r, are released from rest in otherwise empty space with their centers separated by the distance R. They are allowed to collide under the influence of their gravitational attraction. (a) Show that the magnitude of the impulse received by each sphere before they make contact is given by [Gm3(1/2r − 1/R)1/2. (b) What If? Find the magnitude of the impulse each receives during their contact if they collide elastically.

A 1024-kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z-position of 3.8 x 106 m through the center of a planet with a radius of 8.5 x 106 m. If the mass of the planet is 48.8 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at time t = 7 s?arrow_forwardA spacecraft is separated into two parts by detonating the explosive bolts that hold them together. The masses of the parts are 1200 kg and 1800 kg; the magnitude of the impulse on each part from the bolts is 300 Ns. With what relative speed do the two parts separate because of the detonation?arrow_forward

The first mass (m1 = 3.00 kg) is positioned 2.75 meters along the y-axis. The second mass (m2 = 4.00 kg) is situated 2.50 meters along the x-axis. The third mass (m3 = 2.50 kg) is located at the coordinates (-4.00, -3.30) meters. This third mass is connected to the first and second masses such that the system's center of mass is at the origin. The entire system rotates around the origin. A constant force with a magnitude of 2.9 N is applied to the left on (m1), and a force of 9.7 N is applied downwards on (m2). What is the resultant angular acceleration of the system about the origin, considering positive angular acceleration out of the page?arrow_forwardOne way to attack a satellite in Earth orbit is to launch a swarm of pellets in the same orbit as the satellite but in the opposite direction. Suppose a satellite in a circular orbit 500 km above Earth’s surface collides with a pellet having mass 4.0 g. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the pellet in the reference frame of the satellite just before the collision?
