Sputnik I had an elliptical orbit with the Earth at one focus. The major and minor axes of the orbit have lengths of 7325 km and 6606 km respectively. Find the apogee (greatest distance) from the Earth's center of Sputnik's center.
-The distance from the foci to the center is defined as c = √a2 - b2
-The apogee is defined as a + c
Calculate the escape velocity Amazonia-1 needed to achieve so that it could orbit Earth at its given altitude.
A new design of Saturn 12 rocket with mass 1.13 x106 kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 206.1 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 2.21 x10 5 kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 40.27 x10 6 kg.
If this design exceeds the velocity of 11,200 m/s it can successfully escape Earth's gravity. Determine if this is so. Find its maximum velocity (velyZ) in a PhysLab virtual simulation. (Pitch Angle = 0)

Saturn’s moon Titan has a substantial atmosphere, and Cassini went close enough to detect atoms and molecules from Titan’s atmosphere. It measured the atmospheric composition with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Ionized atoms and molecules were accelerated through a 30 kV potential difference and then sent through a chamber of length 18.8 cm. The time to travel the length of the chamber was measured, with heavier particles taking longer times. What is the travel time for a singly ionized molecule of water?arrow_forward
