Start with a At=60 s and initial speed= 2000 m/s in a direction perpendicular to the line between the spacecraft and Earth. Create a sphere representing the spacecraft. Consider the radius=0.1*Earth radius (although it is much smaller, we would not see it if we chose any smaller value) and make sure to leave a trail. Create a sphere representing Earth, set it at the origin. Initiate a while loop with rate (1000). Calculate i, f,FI, F and update the force, momenta, and the positions Note: Earth (Mass= 6e24, Radius= 6.4e6), G= 6.67e-11 in SI

Hi, I tried so hard for this question but I couldn't succeed. Can you solve this question for me. The coordinates of the position of the rocket in the figure at the given moment are (4,4,2) km. Observers at A, B and C are trying to measure their position relative to the rocket. Calculate the directional cosines of the rAR rBR, rCR vectors measured by the observers at the given moment.
2. Integrate the equations of motion for a spherical pendulum, i.e., a particle of mass m moving on the surface of a sphere of radius / in a gravitational field, with Lagrangian L = ml² -(0² + psin² 0) + mglcos 0. 2 Hint: Merely set up the integrals, do not evaluate them. You should obtain two integrals w.r.t. de: one determining t and another determining p. Express the first integral in terms of E,Ueff, m, and l. Express the second integral in terms of E,U eff, m, l, and M₂.

Two planets of equal mass orbit a much more massive star. Planet m 1 moves in a circular orbit of radius r 1 = 10^11 m with a period of 2 years (= 6.3 x 10^7 s). Planet m 2 moves in an elliptical orbit with its closes t distance r 1 and its farthest distance r 2 = 1.8 x 10^11 m. a. Find the period of m 2’s orbit. b. The elliptical orbit has greater energy. Which planet has the greater potential energy at point P? Justify. c. Which planet has the greater speed at point P? Justify. d. How does the speed of m 2 at point P compare with the speed at point A? Justify.
Please help with the solution to this problem using (km/s). I know we will use Hohmann Transfer and a combined plane change. In the opening scene of the movie “Gravity” Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) are required to transit from the Hubble Space Telescope (Altitude 600 km, 28.5 degree inclination) to the International Space Station (Altitude 400 km, 51.6 degree inclination) using nothing but their Manned Maneuvering Units (MMU). An MMU has a delta V capability of about 30 m/s, and it would be impossible to perform this maneuver with so little delta V, but… a.) How much delta V would be required for this maneuver? b.) What if the maneuver did not require an inclination change (altitude change only?)
A spaceship is traveling through deep space towards a space station and needs to make a course correction to go around a nebula. The captain orders the ship to travel 2.7 x 106 kilometers before turning 70° and traveling 2.3 x 106 kilometers before assuming the path towards the space station. If the captain had not ordered a course correction, what would have been the magnitude (in kilometers) and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the path of the spaceship if it had instead traveled directly through the nebula? L magnitude direction spaceship km A nebula space station B ww counterclockwise from the +x-axis

The radius Rh of a black hole is the radius of a mathematical sphere, called the event horizon, that is centered on the black hole. Information from events inside the event horizon cannot reach the outside world. According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, Rh = 2GM/c2, where M is the mass of the black hole and c is the speed of light. Suppose that you wish to study a black hole near it, at a radial distance of 48Rh. However, you do not want the difference in gravitational acceleration between your feet and your head to exceed 10 m/s2 when you are feet down (or head down) toward the black hole. (a) Take your height to be 1.5 m. What is the limit to the mass of the black hole you can tolerate at the given radial distance? Give the ratio of this mass to the mass MS of our Sun.
