7) Another satellite, this one 569 kg, aims to make a landing on a tiny moon of the planet, although "tiny" in this case means only 850,000 kg. Since it is too small to have meaningful gravity, the plan is to ramp the moon and stick in it like a spearhead. If the moon is considered to be at rest before impact, and moves 3.2 cm/s after the impact, how fast was the satellite going before impact?

For many years, astronomer Percival Lowell searched for a Planet X that might explain some of the perturbations observed in the orbit of Uranus. These perturbations were later explained when the masses of the outer planets and planetoids, particularly Neptune, became better measured (Voyager 2). At the time, however, Lowell had proposed the existence of a Planet X that orbited the Sun with a mean distance of 43 AU. With what period would this Planet X orbit the Sun?
A spaceship at rest relative to a nearby star in interplanetary space has a total mass of 2.50 104 kg. Its engines fire at t = 0, steadily burning fuel at. 76.7 kg/s with an exhaust speed of 4.25 103 m/s. Calculate the spaceships (a) acceleration at t = 0, (b) mass at t = 125 s, (c) acceleration at t = 125 s, and (d) speed at t = 125 s, relative to the same nearby star.
Check Your Understanding By what factor must the radius change to reduce the orbital velocity of a satellite by one-half? By what factor would this change the period?
A single-stage rocket of mass 308 metric tons (not including fuel) carries a payload of 3150 kg to low-Earth orbit. The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c. Because the exhaust speed of the redesigned rocket is increased by a factor of two, why is the fuel consumption of the redesigned rocket not exactly half that of the original rocket?
Planet Roton, with a mass of 7.0 * 10^24 kg and a radius of 1600 km, gravitationally attracts a meteorite that is initially at rest relative to the planet, at a distance great enough to take as infinite.The meteorite falls toward the planet. Assuming the planet is airless, find the speed of the meteorite when it reaches the planet’s surface.
After consuming all of its nuclear fuel, a massive star can collapse to form a black hole, which is an immensely dense object whose escape speed is greater than the speed of light. Newton's law of universal gravitation still describes the froce that a black hole exerts on objects outside it. A spacecraft in the shape of a long cylinder has a length of 100m, and its mass with occupants is 1000kg. It has strayed too close to a black hole having a mass 100 times that of the sun. If the nose of the spacecraft points toward the center of the black hole, and if the distance between the nose of the spacecraft and the black hole's center is 10km (a) determine the total force on the spacecraft. (b) What is the difference in the force per kilogram of mass felt by the occupants in the nose of the ship versus those in the rear of the ship farthest from the black hole?

3. You are a person with incredible arm strength. You throw a ball of mass m = 2 kg horizontally with initialy velocity vo. (a) How quickly would you have to throw the ball so that the ball enters a perfectly circular orbit around Earth? (Assume your height is much less than Earth's radius). (b) How long would the ball take to complete one orbit? (c) Let's say you throw the ball with 1.2x the speed found in (a). What is the semi-major axis of the new elliptical orbit of the ball? (d) How long would it take for the ball to complete its new orbital jour- ney?
5. If a Saturn V rocket with an Apollo spacecraft attached has a combined mass of 2.9 x 10% kg and is to reach a speed of 11.2 km, how much kinetic energy will it then have?
Assume that an enough large asteroid (m = 30,000 kg) coming from the deep space (out of our galaxy so assume at infinity) with a velocity 15 km/s travels through our solar system. When it approaches the Earth, the scientists say that it would be attracted by the Earth and then would impact her. So we would like to research the impact of the asteroid if it hits to our planet. (The Earth radius: RE = 6.4x10° m, and the Earth mass: MĘ = 6.0x104 kg.) a) Write expressions for the initial mechanical energy of the asteroid and the final mechanical energy of the asteroid as it reaches the earth's surface. Do not plug in numbers for this first step. b) What would be the kinetic energy of the asteroid as it reaches the earth? c) What would be the speed of the asteroid as it reaches the earth? d) Now, assume that the asteroid makes a totally inelastic collision with the Earth, i.e., the asteroid embeds itself in the earth's surface. Find the final velocity of the earth, assuming it was at rest…
This is a proportional reasoning calculation. You will want to set up equations, but mostly to look at how the orbital distance affects the orbital velocity, or to set up a ratio. (Once you know how it changes you'll have to multiply by the value at the surface to get an answer in m/s.) At the surface of the exoplanet G 9-40 b, the orbital velocity would be 1.21E+4 m/s. What would the orbital velocity be 11 radii above the surface? m/s. Note: If your answer requires scientific notation, remember that OWL uses "e" notation: 1.1 x 105 is 1.1e5 to OWL.
