Chapter 13.1, Problem 13.36P
A meteor starts from rest at a very great distance from the earth. Knowing that the radius of the earth is 6370 km and neglecting all forces except the gravitational attraction of the earth, determine the speed of the meteor (a) when it enters the ionosphere at an altitude of 1000 km. (b) when it enters the stratosphere at an altitude of 50 km. (c) when it strikes the earth’s surface.

It was observed that during the Galileo spacecraft’s first flyby of the earth, its minimum altitude was 600 mi above the surface of the earth. Assuming that the trajectory of the spacecraft was parabolic, determine the maximum velocity of Galileo during its first flyby of the earth.
A spacecraft is placed into a polar orbit about the planet Mars at an altitude of 380 km. Knowing that the mean density of Mars is 3.94 Mg/m^3 and that the radius of Mars is 3397 km, determine the time t required for the spacecraft to complete one full revolution about Mars and the velocity with which the the spacecraft describes its orbit.
Communication satellites are placed in a geosynchronous orbit, i.e., in a circular orbit such that they complete one full revolution about the earth in one sidereal day (23.934 h), and thus appear stationary with respect to the ground. Determine (a) the altitude of these satellites above the surface of the earth, (b) the velocity with which they describe their orbit. Give the answers in both SI and U.S. customary units.

- A 2-oz pellet shot vertically from a spring-loaded pistol on the surface of the earth rises to a height of 300 ft. The same pellet shot from the same pistol on the surface of the moon rises to a height of 1900 ft. Determine the energy dissipated by aerodynamic drag when the pellet is shot on the surface of the earth. (The acceleration of gravity on the surface of the moon is 0.165 times that on the surface of the earth.)arrow_forwardSeat belts and air bags save lives by reducing forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by the seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton's first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm. A 55 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 23.0 m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys. Assume that the local acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is NOT restained by a seat belt and air bag.arrow_forwardA manufacturing company is testing which material to enclose its packages with when dropping packages onto a conveyor belt.
