Unreasonable Results (a) Find the value of for the following situation. An astronaut measures the length of her spaceship to be 25.0 m, while an Earth-bound observer measures it to be 100 m. (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
Space debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites. (a) Calculate the speed of a satellite in an orbit 900 km above Earth’s surface. (b) Suppose a loose rivet is in an orbit of the same radius that intersects the satellite’s orbit at an angle of 90 . What is the velocity of the rivet relative to the satellite just before striking it? (c) If its mass is 0.500 g, and it comes to rest inside the satellite, how much energy in joules is generated by the collision? (Assume the satellite’s velocity does not change appreciably, because it mass is much greater than the rivets’s.)
Find the speed needed to escape from the solar system starting from the surface of Earth. Assume there are no other bodies involved and do not account for the fact that Earth is moving in its orbit. [Hint: Equation 13.6 does not apply. Use Equation 13.5 and include the potential energy of both Earth and the Sun. Substituting the values for Earth’s mass and radius directly into Equation 13.6, we obtain vesc=2GMR=2(6.67 10 11Nm2/kg2)(5.96 10 24kg)(6.37 106m)=1.12104m/s That is about 11 km/s or 25,000 mph. To escape the Sun, starting from Earth’s orbit, we use R=RES=1.501011m and MSum=1.991030kg . The result is vesc=4.21104m/s or about 42 km/s. We have 12mvesc2GMmR=12m02GMm=0 Solving for the escape velocity,
Our solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Assuming a circular orbit 30,000 ly in radius and an orbital speed of 250 km/s, how many years does it take for one revolution? Note than this is approximate, assuming constant speed and circular orbit, but it is representative of the time for our system and local stars to make one revolution around the galaxy.

2) In class, we learned the 1st law as AU = Q – W. Use this statement of the 1st law to show (mathematically) its equivalent statement: "Total energy of the universe is constant". Here, the universe can be defined as: system + surroundings (everything but the system – everything outside the system). Hint: this can be shown by two ways - you may either treat system and surroundings as two systems next to each other, or you may treat system + surroundings (universe) as one system.

Escape velocity and black holes The work required to launch an object from the surface of Earth to outer space is given by w = JEF(x) dx, where R = 6370 km is the approximate radius is the gravitational force between Earth and the object, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth, m is the mass of the object, and GM = 4 x 1014 m²/s?. GMm of Earth, F(x) = x? a. Find the work required to launch an object in terms of m. b. What escape velocity v, is required to give the object a kinetic 1 energy mv? equal to W? c. The French scientist Laplace anticipated the existence of black holes in the 18th century with the following argument: If a body has an escape velocity that equals or exceeds the speed of light, c = 300,000 km/s, then light cannot escape the body and it cannot be seen. Show that such a body has a radius Rs 2GM/c. For Earth to be a black hole, what would its radius need to be?
