Small probes of mass 6554 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 3150 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 342 m from the center of the rod. After 16 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning? 3.42 rpm 14.25 rpm 5.70 rpm 22.80 rpm

Central Force

Central force is the force that acts along the center of mass of one body to the center of mass of another body. Its direction from or away from a point on a body to another is called the center of the force. Such forces include gravitational force between two massive objects or electrostatic forces between two charged particles. So from atoms to planets, the central forces play an important role in shaping our daily lives. One of the remarkable features of central forces is that they are conservative, i.e. the total energy of a central force system can always be expressed as a gradient of a potential energy function.

You are on a space station, in a circular orbit h = 475 km above the surface of the Earth. You complete your tasks several days early and must wait for the next mission from the surface to bring you home. After days of boredom, you decide to play some golf. Walking on the space station surface with magnetic shoes, you tee up a golf ball. You hit it with all of your might, sending it off with speed vrel relative to the space station, in a direction parallel to the velocity vector of the space station at the moment the ball is hit. You notice that you then orbit the Earth exactly n = 2.00 times and you reach up and catch the golf ball as it returns to the space station. With what speed vrel (in m/s) was the golf ball hit? Note: Your result will be unrealistically high-much higher than it is possible for a human to hit a golf ball. m/s
