- Three asteroids coated with cosmic slime are moving in the same plane when they collide and stick together. Initially, asteroid A has a mass of 2*107 kg and is moving to the right at a speed of 150 m/s, asteroid B has a mass of 3*107 kg and is moving at 50 m/s towards the lower left at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to asteroid A, while asteroid C has a mass of 5*107 kg and is moving with an unknown speed and angle. After the collision, the resulting single asteroid is moving toward the right at a speed of 50 m/s. Determine the speed and angle of asteroid C prior to the collision.If one mass is much greater than the other, the larger mass stays essentially at rest while the smaller mass moves toward it. Suppose a 1.5×1013 kg comet is passing the orbit of Mars, heading straight for the 1.99×1030 kg sun at a speed of 4.5 ×104 m/s. What will its speed be when it crosses the orbit of Mercury? The orbit of Mars is 2.28×108 km, the orbit of Mercury is 5.79×107 km, and G = 6.67×10-11 N⋅m2/kg2.A 3500-kg spaceship is in a circular orbit 220 km above the surface of Earth. It needs to be moved into a higher circular orbit of 390 km to link up with the space station at that altitude. In this problem you can take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 × 1024 kg.How much work, in joules, do the spaceship’s engines have to perform to move to the higher orbit? Ignore any change of mass due to fuel consumption.
- A satellite is in a circular orbit of radius r around the Earth. (Use the following as necessary: G, ME, and r.) a) Determine an expression that will allow you to find the speed of the satellite. b)The satellite splits into two fragments, with masses m and 4m. The fragment with mass m is initially at rest with respect to the Earth, then falls straight towards the Earth. The fragment with mass 4m moves with initial speed vi. Find an expression for vi. c)Because of the increase in its speed, this larger fragment now moves in an elliptical orbit. Find an expression for the fragment's distance away from the center of the Earth when it reaches the far end of the ellipse.A binary star consist of two stars of the same mass m revolving in a circle of radius R about their common centre of mass. Suppose that a meteorite passes through the centre of mass of the binary star in a direction perpendicular to the orbital plane. What is the minimum speed that the meteorite must have at the centre of mass in order for it to escape from the gravitational attraction of the binary star? ANSW: 4Gm R wA meteoroid is moving towards a planet. It has mass m = 0.54×109 kg and speed v1 = 4.7×107 m/s at distance R1 = 1.6×107 m from the center of the planet. The radius of the planet is R = 0.78×107 m. The mass of the planet is M = 5.6×1025kg. There is no air around the planet. a)Enter an expression for the total energy E of the meteoroid at R, the surface of the planet, in terms of defined quantities and v, the meteoroid’s speed when it reaches the planet’s surface. Select from the variables below to write your expression. Note that all variables may not be required.α, β, θ, d, g, G, h, m, M, P, R, R1, t, v, v1 b)Enter an expression for v, the meteoroid’s speed at the planet’s surface, in terms of G, M, v1, R1, and R. c)Calculate the value of v in meters per second.
- A 1000 kg object is found heading towards the Earth. At the moment it is 4 Earth radii away from the surface of our planet the asteroid is moving at 100 m/s. If it collides with our planet, how fast will it be moving right before it hits the surface? How much kinetic energy is going to be released in this collision?5) Two neutron stars are separated by a distance of 2.98x10^(10)m. Both have a mass of 3.17x10^(30)kg and a radius of 253000m. They are initially at relative rest. a) What is the speed of both when the distance between them is half the initial value? in m/s b) What is the speed of both when they are about to collide? in m/s
