- During lecture we discussed that an elliptical orbit is not necessarily helpful to escapeEarth, and we said we would not investigate that further (but you are welcome on yourown).However, it is useful to investigate the radius of the “best” (ie, lowest Δv) circular parkingorbit. For this problem consider the following “steps” to Escape Earth:1. A Hohmann transfer from the surface to the parking orbit (i.e., 2 Δv’s).Assumptions:a. launch exactly from the equator with zero velocity relative to thegroundb. there is no atmosphere, mountains, obstacles, etc - the Δv canhappen in the tangential direction from the groundc. Simplify for now and use the Earth rotation = 1 revolution in 24hours2. A Δv from the parking orbit to escape Earth3. The target velocity is exactly vesc (i.e., there is no v∞ for a specificdestination, we just want to escape Earth)For all Δv’s you can ignore the direction, only consider magnitude.a.

Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by the seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton's first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm. A 55 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 23.0 m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys. Assume that the local acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is NOT restained by a seat belt and air bag.arrow_forwardI’m stuck on this problem.

- Based on observations made during the 1996 sighting of comet Hyakutake, it was concluded that the trajectory of the comet is a highly elongated ellipse for which the eccentricity is approximately ε = 0.999887.
