(b) Suppose a loose rivet is in an orbit of the same radius that intersects the satellite’s orbit at an angle of 90 . What is the velocity of the rivet relative to the satellite just before striking it? (c) If its mass is 0.500 g, and it comes to rest inside the satellite, how much energy in joules is generated by the collision? (Assume the satellite’s velocity does not change appreciably, because it mass is much greater than the rivets’s.)arrow_forwardRank the following quantities of energy from largest to the smallest.

Most of the screens are showing sports events, but one near you and your date is showing a discussion of an upcoming voyage to Mars. (a) Your date says, “I wonder how long it takes to get to Mars?” Wanting to impress your date, you grab a napkin and draw as shownon it. Even more impressively, you tell your date that the minimum-energy transfer orbit from Earth to Mars is an elliptical trajectory with the departure planet corresponding to the perihelion of the ellipse and the arrival planet at the aphelion. You pull out your smartphone, activate the calculator feature, and perform a calculation on another napkin to answer the question above that your date asked about the transfer time interval to Mars on this particular trajectory. (b) What If? Your date is impressed, but then asks you to determine the transit time to an inner planet, like Venus.arrow_forward
- An asteroid closely passes the Earth at a range of 17200 mi and relative speed of 7.8 km/s. The diameter is estimated at 30 m with 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 (Mton) where a megaton is the energy released by one million metric tons of TNT explosive. A metric ton is 1000 kg and the explosive energy density of TNT is 4184 J/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.arrow_forwardThe energy to place a satellite into orbit consists of the work against gravity and addition kinetic energy. In this problem, you get the chance to calculate both components (gravitational and kinetic). (There is also 'wasted' energy to lift and propel the fuel, but we are ignoring that in this problem and focusing only on the bare minimum.)
