(a) Show that tidal force on a small object of mass m, defined as the difference in the gravitational force that would be exerted on m at a distance at the near and the far side of the object, due to the gravitation at a distance R from M, is given by Ftidal = (2GMm / R3) . Δr where Δr is the distance between the near and far side and Δr< <R . (b) Assume you are falling feet first into the black hole at the center of our galaxy. It has mass of 4 million solar masses. What would be the difference between the force at your head and your feet at the Schwarzschild radius (event horizon)? Assume your feet and head each have mass 5.0 kg and are 2.0 m apart. Would you survive passing through the event horizon?
A satellite, moving in an elliptical orbit, is 441 km above Earth's surface at its farthest point and 289 km above at its closest point. Calculate (a) the semimajor axis and (b) the eccentricity of the orbit. (a) Number i Units IUnits
The Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) utilizes a group of 24 satellites orbiting the Earth. Using “triang- ulation" and signals transmitted by these satellites, the position of a receiver on the Earth can be determined to within an accuracy of a few centimeters. The satellite orbits are distributed around the Earth, allowing continuous navigational "fixes." The satellites orbit at an altitude of approximately 11,000 nautical miles [1 nautical mile = 1.852 km = 6076 ft]. (a) Determine the speed of each satellite. (b) Determine the period of each satellite.

The orbit of a 1.5 x 1010 kg comet around the Sun is elliptical, with an aphelion distance of 33.0 AU and perihelion distance of 0.855 AU. (Note: 1 AU = one astronomical unit = the average distance from the Sun to the Earth = 1.496 x 101 m. (a) What is its orbital eccentricity? 0.95 (b) What is its period? (Enter your answer in yr.) yr (c) At aphelion what is the potential energy (in J) of the comet-Sun system?
Calculate the energy of the moon orbiting the Earth. (mass of the Earth = 6.02 x 10^24 kg, mass of the moon = 7.35 x 10^22 kg, radius of the moon = 1.74 x 10^6 m, radius of the earth = 6.37 x 10^6 m, average surface distance of moon and earth = 3.84 x 10^8 m) Use the concepts of Kinetic energy and Gravitational potential energy for a system of two particles to derive an equation for this. Your answer should be written in scientific notation and should follow this format: coefficientx10^exponentunit Example: 4.55 x 10^20 N %3D %3D %3D
(a) A planet is in an elliptical orbit around a distant star. At its closest approach, the planet is 0.580 AU from the star and has a speed of 54.0 km/s. When the planet is at its farthest distance from the star of 37.0 AU, what is its speed (in km/s)? (1 AU is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun and is equal to 1.496 x 10¹¹ m. You may assume that other planets and smaller objects in the star system exert negligible forces on the planet.) km/s (b) What If? A comet is in a highly elliptical orbit around the same star. The comet's greatest distance from the star is 20,900 times larger than its closest distance to the star. The comet's speed at its greatest distance is 2.70 x 10-² km/s. What is the speed (in km/s) of the comet at its closest approach? km/s
The Molniya orbit is a 12 hour period highly eccentric orbit used by Russia for communication satellites. Perigee and Apogee of the Molniya orbit are 500 km and 39, 873 km respectively. Consider a satellite deployed in such a orbit. Determine the satellite's time of flight from the perigee to an altitude of 30, 000 km ( when the satellite is past the apogee and returning back to the perigee).
If a satellite is placed in geostationary orbit then it has an orbital period T that is equal to exactly one day. This is useful for communications satellites and weather satellites, since these satellites will appear to occupy a fixed point in the sky (as viewed from Earth's surface).
