Calculate the gravitational potential V for a hemisphere of radius R with uniform mass distribution.
A 1000 kg spacecraft is approaching Jupiter (which is at the origin). The position of the spacecraft is given by the vector RSC = (0.0,-2.533) x 106km. The velocity is given by VSC= (+6.00, +8.00) km/sec. The mass of Jupiter, (MJ=318 MEarth) and MEarth = 5.97 x 1024 kg.
A) What is the potential and kinetic energy of the spacecraft (write each to 3 sig figs.) What is the total energy of the spacecraft? Call the total energy Ei.
B) Can it escape Jupiter? Justify your answer.
C) What is the angular momentum of the spacecraft around Jupiter? Call this Li.
A slingshot, consisting of a leather pouch attached to two rubber bands which are tied to the prongs of a wooden Y- shaped frame, is used to shoot a pebble horizontally. When the slingshot is stretched by a distance d, it gives the pebble speed v. What speed does it give the same pebble when it is stretched to distance 3d?

The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point; that is Fr3 , if the distance from P to the position of the particle is r. Let b be the proportionality constant, and write the magnitude of the force as F=br3. Find the potential energy of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance D from P, assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P.arrow_forward
