Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 37EAP
When Is a Theory Wrong? As discussed in this cha pter, in its original form the nebular theo ry of solar system formation does not expla.in the orbits of many kno wn extrasolar planets, but it can explain them with modii icat ions such as allowing for planetary migration. Does this mean the theory was ''wrong" or only "incomplete" before the modifications were made? Explain. Be sure to look back at the discussion in Chapter 3 !Qof the nature of science and scientific theories.

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
