The maximum height gain by the space vehicle is
Explanation of Solution
The initial speed of the vehicle is
Formula to calculate the maximum height gain by the space vehicle by the conservation of energy is,
Here,
Formula to calculate the kinetic energy of the space vehicle at the Earth’s surface is,
Here,
Formula to calculate the potential energy of the space vehicle at the Earth’s surface is,
Here,
Formula to calculate the potential energy space vehicle at the altitude is,
Here,
The final kinetic energy of the space vehicle is zero because the space vehicle is rest at that point.
Substitute
Further solve the above expression.
Write the expression for the acceleration due to gravity.
Here,
Substitute
Conclusion:
Therefore, the maximum height gain by the space vehicle is

Answer to Problem 13.58AP
The result from part (a) is consistent with
Explanation of Solution
Consider a baseball is tossed up with an initial speed that is very small as compared to the escape speed.
Here,
As the initial speed that is very small. So the initial speed of the vehicle tends to be zero.
From part (a), the maximum height gain by the space vehicle is,
Substitute
Write the expression for the maximum height of the projectile motion of the baseball.
Here,
From maximum height of the projectile motion of the baseball, the value of angle of the projectile motion of the baseball should be
Substitute
From equations (3) and (4).
So, the maximum height gain by the space vehicle is consistent with
Conclusion:
Therefore, the result from part (a) is consistent with

- A Jamin interferometer is a device for measuring or for comparing the indices of refraction of gases. A beam of monochromatic light is split into two parts, each of which is directed along the axis of a separate cylindrical tube before being recombined into a single beam that is viewed through a telescope. Suppose we are given the following, • Length of each tube is L = 0.4 m. • λ= 598 nm. Both tubes are initially evacuated, and constructive interference is observed in the center of the field of view. As air is slowly let into one of the tubes, the central field of view changes dark and back to bright a total of 198 times. (a) What is the index of refraction for air? (b) If the fringes can be counted to ±0.25 fringe, where one fringe is equivalent to one complete cycle of intensity variation at the center of the field of view, to what accuracy can the index of refraction of air be determined by this experiment?arrow_forward1.
