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?

At the moment of impact, the line of the centers of the sphere is perpendicular to a vertical wall which is at a distance x from the point of collision and nearer(closer) to B than to A, and B subsequently collides with the wall.
Find in terms of x, the distance of A from the wall at the instant when B hits the wall.
A hoop of radius RH and mass mH and a solid cylinder of radius Rc and mass mc are released simultaneously at the top of a plane ramp of length L inclined at angle θ above horizontal. Which reaches the bottom first, and what is the speed of each there?
Consider the system in the figure, in which a small mass m = 1.95 kg is sliding off the top of a cylindrical object. There is no friction between the mass and the cylinder, which has a radius of r = 0.46 m. At what height, relative to the bottom of the cylinder, will the mass leave the surface of the cylinder?

- A space of mass 120 kg is going to use a planet for a gravitational assist- that is, use the planet's gravity to change its direction of travel without expending any fuel. It is initially moving at a velocity of 280 m/s and at an angle of theta initial = 53 degrees, at a distance of 11500 km from the center of the planet. Given an expression for the angular momentum of the spacecraft using the coordinate system specified in terms of m, r0, v0, theta initial, and vector units i, j, k If the spaceship whips around the planet to the other side so that the angle is theta 35 and is moving at 95 m/s, how far, in kilometers, from the planet is it?arrow_forwardA particle of mass 0.1kg moves in a circular path on a horizontal frictionless plane, attached freely to a point 0 by an inelastic spring of negligible mass which can support a maximum tension of 1N without breaking.Determine the maximum angular velocity with which the particle can circulate about 0 in a path of radius 1m without breaking the string.arrow_forwardAt 714 A.M. on June 30, 1908, a huge explosion occurred above remote central Siberia, at latitude 61 N and longitude 102 E; the fireball thus created was the brightest flash seen by anyone before nuclear weapons. The Tunguska Event, which according to one chance witness “covered an enormous part of the sky,” was probably the explosion of a stony asteroid about 140 m wide. (a) Considering only Earth’s rotation, determine how much later the asteroid would have had to arrive to put the explosion above Helsinki at longitude 25 E. This would have obliterated the city. (b) If the asteroid had, instead, been a metallic asteroid, it could have reached Earth’s surface. How much later would such an asteroid have had to arrive to put the impact in the Atlantic Ocean at longitude 20 W? (The resulting tsunamis would have wiped out coastal civilization on both sides of the Atlantic.)arrow_forward
