Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be create…

A spacecraft of mass m describes a circular orbit of radius ị around the earth. (a) Show that the additional energy AE that must be imparted to the spacecraft to transfer it to a circular orbit of larger radius r, is GMm(r2 – r¡) ΔΕ= where M is the mass of the earth. (b) Further show that if the transfer from one circular orbit to the other is executed by placing the space- craft on a transitional semielliptic path AB, the amounts of energy AE, and AEg which must be imparted at A and B are, respectively, proportional to r, and r¡: ΔΕΞ ΔΕΔΕ, ΔΕ

How much energy per pound should be imparted to a satellite in order to place it in a circular orbit at an altitude of (a) 400 mi, (b) 4000 mi?

The 18 000-kg F-35B uses thrust vectoring to allow it to take off vertically. In one maneuver, the pilot reaches the top of her static hover at 200 m. The combined thrust and lift force on the airplane applied at the end of the static hover can be expressed as F = (44t + 2500t2)i + (250t2 + t + 176 580)j, where F and t are expressed in newtons and seconds, respectively. Determine how long it will take the airplane to reach a cruising speed of 1000 km/hr (cruising speed is defined to be in the x-direction only).
