CP You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet’s surface, the ship’s orbital speed is 4900 m/s. By observing the planet, you determine its radius to be 4.48 × 106 m. You then land on the surface and, at a place where the ground is level, launch a small projectile with initial speed 12.6 m/s at an angle of 30.8° above the horizontal. If resistance due to the planet’s atmosphere is negligible, what is the horizontal range of the projectile?

A rocket is tracked by radar from its launching point A. When it is 10 seconds into its flight, the following radar measurements are recorded: r = 2970 m, ř = 449 m/s, ř= 4.08 m/s?, 0 = 18°, 0 = 0.063
rad/s, 0 = -0.0367 rad/s?. For this instant determine the angle B between the horizontal and the direction of the trajectory of the rocket and find the magnitudes of its velocity v and acceleration a.
