Satellite “X" is now rotating clockwise around the earth. At the point shown in the
diagram the satellite fires a thruster that moves from the dotted line orbit to the
solid line orbit. To move the satellite's orbit from the dotted line orbit to the solid
line orbit, what direction must the thruster be fired: in the same direction, in the
opposite direction, or perpendicular to the motion at point A.

- Consider Figure 13.23 in Tidal Forces. This diagram represents the tidal forces for spring tides. Sketch a similar diagram for neap tides. (Hint: For simplicity, imagine that the Sun and the Moon contribute equally. Your diagram would be the vector sum of two force fields (as in Figure 13.23), reduced by a factor of two, and superimposed at right angles.)arrow_forwardRespond to each statement, true or false: (a) No force of gravity acts on an astronaut in an orbiting space station. (b) At three Earth radii from the center of Earth, the acceleration of gravity is one-ninth its surface value.
