Chapter 13, Problem 60P
In Fig. 13-50, two satellites, A and B, both of mass m = 125 kg, move in the same circular orbit of radius r = 7.87 × 106 m around Earth but in opposite senses of rotation and therefore on a collision course, (a) Find the total mechanical energy EA + EB of the two satellites + Earth system before the collision, (b) If the collision is completely inelastic so that the wreckage remains as one piece of tangled material (mass = 2m), find the total mechanical energy immediately after the collision, (c) Just after the collision, is the wreckage falling directly toward Earth’s center or orbiting around Earth?
Figure 13-50 Problem 60.

Critical damping is the case where the mass never actually crosses over equilibrium position, but reaches equilibrium as fast as possible. Experiment with changing c to find the critical damping constant. Use the same initial conditions as in the last problem. Zoom in a bit to make sure you don't allow any oscillations to take place - even small ones.
NASA's KC-135 Reduced Gravity Research aircraft, affectionately known as the "Vomit Comet," is used in training astronauts and testing equipment for microgravity environments. During a typical mission, the aircraft makes approximately 30 to 40 parabolic arcs. During each arc, the aircraft and objects inside it are in free-fall, and
passengers float freely in apparent "weightlessness."
The figure below shows the altitude of the aircraft during a typical mission. It climbs from 24,000 ft to 30,850 ft, where it begins a parabolic arc with a velocity of 155 m/s at 45.0° nose-high and exits with velocity 155 m/s at 45.0° nose-low.
