Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 54IF
Strength of Sunlight at Venus and Mars. The solar energy reaching the top of Earth’s atmosphere is 1370 watts per square meter. What is the comparable energy (a) at the distance of Venus; (b) at the distance of Mars? (Hint: Remember that light follows an inverse square law [see Figure 7.2]; you’ll need to look up distances in AU for Venus and Mars.)

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?
