Problem 6 Ski Jump (a) A ski jump is at an angle above the horizontal. If you must clear a distance L to reach the other side which is a height h above the jump, show that your minimum speed to reach the other side must be: v = L COS 9/2 Ltan-h -L- (b) If the skier was on the Sun where gravity is (roughly) 25 times stronger than on Earth, how much faster would they have to go?

Unreasonable Results Suppose you wish to shoot supplies straight up to astronauts in an orbit 36,000 km above the surface of the Earth. (a) At what velocity must the supplies be launched? (b) What is unreasonable about this velocity? (c) Is there a problem with the relative velocity between the supplies and the astronauts when the supplies reach their maximum height? (d) Is the premise unreasonable or is the available equation inapplicable? Explain your answer.
Additional Problems A synchronous satellite. which always remains above the same point on a planet's equator, is put in circular orbit around Jupiter to study that planet's famous red spot. Jupiter rotates once every 9.84 h. Use the data of Table 7.3 to find the altitude of the satellite.
A Nordic jumper goes off a ski jump at an angle of 10.0 below the horizontal, traveling 108 m horizontally and 55.0 m vertically before landing. (a) Ignoring friction and aerodynamic effects. calculate the speed needed by the skier on leaving the ramp. (b) Olympic Nordic jumpers can make such jumps with a jump speed of 23.0 m/s, which is considerably less than the answer found in pan (a). Explain how that is possible
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.)
Imagine that nitrogen and other atmospheric gases were more soluble in water so that the atmosphere of the Earth is entirely absorbed by the oceans. Atmospheric pressure would then be zero, and outer space would start at the planets surface. Would the Earth then have a gravitational field? (a) Yes, and at the surface it would be larger in magnitude than 9.8 N/kg. (b) Yes, and it would be essentially the same as the current value. (c) Yes, and it would be somewhat less than 9.8 N/kg. (d) Yes, and it would be much less than 9.8 N/kg. (e) No, it would not.
According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Earths surface temperature has risen about 1F since 1900. There is evidence that this climate change may be due to human activity. The organizers of World Jump Day argue that if the Earth were in a slightly larger orbit, we could avoid global warming and climate change. They propose that we move the Earth into this new orbit by jumping. The idea is to get people in a particular time zone to jump together. The hope is to have 600 million people jump in a 24-hour period. Lets see if it will work. Consider the Earth and its inhabitants to make up the system. a. Estimate the number of people in your time zone. Assume they all decide to jump at the same time; estimate the total mass of the jumpers. b. What is the net external force on the Earthjumpers system? c. Assume the jumpers use high-tech Flybar pogo sticks (Fig. P8.32), which allow them to jump 6 ft. What is the displacement of the Earth as a result of their jump? d. What happens to the Earth when the jumpers land?

Problem One newly discovered light particle has a mass of m and property q. Suppose it moves within the vicinity of an extremely heavy (fixed in place) particle with a property Q and mass M. When the light particle is xi distance from the heavy particle, it is moving directly away from the heavy particle with a speed of vi. a) What is the lighter particle's speed when it is xf away from the heavy particle? Am m2 Consider a new expression for gravitation potential energy as: PEgrav , where A is a constant, m, and m, are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between them. Moreover, the new particle has an additional interaction with the heavy particle through the following force expression 1 Fnew = qQ 4πεο r where Eg is a constant that is read as epsilon subscript 0, q and Q are their new properties, r is the distance between the new particle and the heavy particle. Solution: We may solve this using two approaches. One involves the Newton's Laws and the other involving…
