- (a) Imagine that a space probe could be fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 5.48 x 10 m/s relative to the Sun. What would its speed be when it is very far from the Earth (in m/s)? Ignore atmospheric friction, the effects of other planets, and the rotation of the Earth.

The speed provided in part (a) is very difficult to achieve technologically. Often, Jupiter is used as a "gravitational slingshot" to increase the speed of a probe to the escape speed from the solar system, which is 1.85 x 10 m/s from a point on Jupiter's orbit around the Sun (if Jupiter is not nearby).

Assume that the motion of the Sun can be neglected and that only gravitational forces act. When the planet is at its greatest distance from the Sun, it is struck by a comet of mass m, where m << M, traveling in a tangential direction.

- A system consists of three particles, each of mass 4.30 g, located at the corners of an equilateral triangle with sides of 31.0 cm. (a) Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the system. ] (b) Assume the particles are released simultaneously. Describe the subsequent motion of each. Will any collisions take place? Explain.arrow_forwardVery far from earth (at R=∞), a spacecraft has run out of fuel and its kinetic energy is zero. If only the gravitational force of the earth were to act on it (i.e., neglect the forces from the sun and other solar system objects), the spacecraft would eventually crash into the earth. The mass of the earth is Me and its radius is Re. Neglect air resistance throughout this problem, since the spacecraft is primarily moving through the near vacuum of space. Find the speed se of the spacecraft when it crashes into the earth. Express the speed in terms of Me, Re, and the universal gravitational constant G. Use a conservation-law approach. Specifically, consider the mechanical energy of the spacecraft when it is (a) very far from the earth and (b) at the surface of the earth.arrow_forwardA satellite of mass M is in a circular orbit of radius R about the centre of the earth.
