Assume that we have a distant Star-Planet system with no other planets and the Star is the same as the Sun and the planet is the same as the Earth. This is called an "Earth analog system or "Earth twin". The masses and the orbits are the same except you can assume a perfectly circular orbit. A) Calculate the equation for the orbital velocity of a planet on a circular orbit. To do this use the equation for average speed: distance=rate x time. In a circular orbit, the speed is always the same, so you can use a time that is one full orbital period (1 year). What is the distance that a planet on a circular orbit travels in this time? Calculate the speed of the Earth twin in meters/second. Mass of the sun: 2 x 1030 kg. Mass of the Earth: 5.97 x 1024kg (Note: I think I understand how to use the distance= rate x time, but I'm not sure what to input for rate in this situation. I am also not sure how to calculate the speed of the Earth twin)

A bead of mass m slides without friction along a curved wire with shape z = f(r) where r = Vr2 + y², i.e. the distance from the z-axis. The wire is rotated around the z-axis at a constant angular velocity w. Gravity acts downward along the z-axis with a constant acceleration g. a) Using Newton's second law in an inertial frame, derive an expression for radius ro of a fixed circular orbit (i.e. a solution with r = ro = const.). What is the normal force the wire applies to the bead to keep it in a circular orbit? b) Show that the equation of motion for r(t) (general equation not the circular motion) is F(1 + f'(r)²) + i² f'(r)f"(r) + gf'(r) – w?r = 0. Using this verify your answer to part (a). c) Consider small displacements from the circular orbit, r = ro+e(t). Derive a condition on the function f(r) such that a circular orbit at r = ro is stable. d) Find the force on the bead in the o direction, i.e. perpendicular to the plane of wire. The angular velocity is w = . Obtain the answer…
Assume a planet is a uniform sphere of radius R that (somehow) has a narrow radial tunnel through its center. Also assume we can position an apple anywhere along the tunnel or outside the sphere. Let Fp be the magnitude of the gravitational force on the apple when it is located at the planet's surface. How far from the surface (what multiple of R) is there a point where the magnitude of the gravitational force on the apple is 0.5 FR if we move the apple (a) away from the planet and (b) into the tunnel?

A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are useful for communication and weather observation because the satellite remains above the same point on Earth (provided it orbits in the equatorial plane in the same direction as Earth’s rotation). Calculate the radius of such an orbit based on the data for Earth in Appendix D.
You are a visitor aboard the New International Space Station, which is in a circular orbit around the Earth with an orbital speed of ?o=2.45 km/s�o=2.45 km/s . The station is equipped with a high velocity projectile launcher, which can be used to launch small projectiles in various directions at high speeds. Most of the time, the projectiles either enter new orbits around the Earth or eventually fall down and hit the Earth. However, as you know from your physics courses at the Academy, projectiles launched with a sufficiently great initial speed can travel away from the Earth indefinitely, always slowing down but never falling back to Earth. With what minimum total speed, relative to the Earth, would projectiles need to be launched from the station in order to "escape" in this way? For reference, recall that the radius of the Earth is ?E=6370000 m�E=6370000 m, the mass of the Earth is ?E=5.98×1024 kg�E=5.98×1024 kg , the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is ?=9.81…
