Chapter 13, Problem 13.68P
A rocket with mass 5.00 × 103 kg is in a circular orbit of radius 7.20 × 106 m around the earth. The rocket’s engines fire for a period of time to increase that radius to 8.80 × 106 m. with the orbit again circular. (a) What is the change in the rocket’s kinetic energy? Does the kinetic energy increase or decrease? (b) What is the change in the rocket’s gravitational potential energy? Does the potential energy increase or decrease? (c) How much work is done by the rocket engines in changing the orbital radius?

The force of the quadriceps (Fq) and force of the patellar tendon (Fp) is identical (i.e., 1000 N each). In the figure below angle in blue is Θ and the in green is half Θ (i.e., Θ/2). A) Calculate the patellar reaction force (i.e., R resultant vector is the sum of the horizontal component of the quadriceps and patellar tendon force) at the following joint angles: you need to provide a diagram showing the vector and its components for each part. a1) Θ = 160 degrees, a2) Θ = 90 degrees. NOTE: USE ONLY TRIGNOMETRIC FUNCTIONS (SIN/TAN/COS, NO LAW OF COSINES, NO COMPLICATED ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE, ETC. Question A has 2 parts!
