- An asteroid closely passes the Earth at a range of 17200mi and a relative speed of 7.8km/s.The diameter is estimated at 30mwith a specific gravity of 3. If this asteroid had impacted Earth, how much energy would have been released? Express this quantity in units of mega-tons (M ton) where a megaton is the energy released by one million metric tons of TNT explosive. A metric ton is 1000kgand the explosive energy density of TNT is 4184J/g.Hint: If the asteroid hits the Earth, its relative velocity becomes zero. Ignore any change in asteroid velocity due to gravitational acceleration or air resistance.B4If you took the Earth and reduced its radius to one fourth its current size, what would the escape velocity from the Earth be?
- If you are going to launch a 10,000 kg spacecraft from Earth, (a) how much kinetic energy it must possess in order to escape the gravitational pull? (b) If the mass is reduced by 5,000 kg, how much kinetic energy is required?When large communications satellites are positioned in geosynchronous orbit (GEO), they are first launched into low-Earth orbit (LEO) while mated to a transfer stage. A transfer stage is a rocket specifically designed to move (or transfer) satellites from LEO to GEO. Compare the amount of energy it requires to transfer a 8,000 kg satellite from a 750 km altitude orbit to GEO with the amount of energy required to send a 8,000 kg spacecraft from the same LEO orbit to the Moon so that it can land on the surface of the Moon. Note that the Lunar spacecraft will need the same orbital speed as that of the Moon around the Earth so that the Moon doesn’t move away from the spacecraft before it has a chance to land.A 2000 kg lunar lander is in orbit 30 km above the surface of the moon. It needs to move out to a 500 km -high orbit in order to link up with the mother ship that will take the astronauts home. Part A How much work must the thrusters do? Express your answer with the appropriate units. μА Value Units ?
- when we calculate escape speeds, we usually do so with the assumption that the object from which we are calculating escape speed is isolated. This is, of course, generally not true in the solar system. Show that the escape speed at a point near a system that consists of two stationary massive spherical objects is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the escape speeds from each of the two objects considered individually.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?more than one answer can be correct
- How much energy is required to lift a 10 kg rock from the surface of the Earth and place it in a circular orbit just 10 km above sea level? Assume Earth's radius is about 6371 km.A satellite with a mass of 1000 kg is placed in Earth orbit at an orbit of 500 km above the surface. Assuming a circular orbit, a) How long does the satellite take to complete one orbit? b) What is the satellite’s orbital speed? c) What is the minimum energy necessary to place this satellite in orbit (assume there is no air resistance)? d) For how many miles would this energy power an automobile? (Assume 1 gal. of gasoline produces 1.1*108 J of energy, and this energy is sufficient to operate a car for 25 miles)Find the escape speed of a projectile from the surface of Venus.
