Chapter 13, Problem 60P
In Fig. 13-50, two satellites, A and B, both of mass m = 125 kg, move in the same circular orbit of radius r = 7.87 × 106 m around Earth but in opposite senses of rotation and therefore on a collision course, (a) Find the total mechanical energy EA + EB of the two satellites + Earth system before the collision, (b) If the collision is completely inelastic so that the wreckage remains as one piece of tangled material (mass = 2m), find the total mechanical energy immediately after the collision, (c) Just after the collision, is the wreckage falling directly toward Earth’s center or orbiting around Earth?

A system consists of N identical particles of mass m placed
rigidly on the vertices of a regular polygon with each side of
length l. If K₁ be the kinetic energy imparted to one of the
particles so that it just escapes the gravitational pull of the
system and thereafter kinetic energy K₂ is given by to the
adjacent particle to escape, then the difference (K₁-K₂) is
In the figure, two satellites, A and B, both of mass m = 36.1 kg, move in the same circular orbit of radius r = 7240 km around Earth (mass
ME = 5.98×1024 kg) but in opposite senses of rotation and therefore on a collision course. (a) Find the total mechanical energy Е+ ЕÅ of
the two satellites + Earth system before the collision. (b) If the collision is completely inelastic so that the wreckage remains as one piece
of tangled material (mass = 2m), find the total mechanical energy immediately after the collision. (c) Just after the collision, is the
wreckage falling directly toward Earth's center or orbiting around Earth?

The 100 kg sphere A is released from rest at an angle of α from the vertical, and hits the 10 kg block B (initially at rest), causing block B to have an initial velocity of 5 m/s as it enters the circular ramp (radius = 5 m) and stop temporarily at a final height h. The coefficient of restitution between sphere A and the block B is 0.6. Assume all surfaces are frictionless. Also assume direct impact between A and B.
What is the velocity of A just before it hits block B? And what is the length of the rope l, if angle alpha is 30 degrees
