Explanation Given information: The mass ( m B ) of sub satellite B is 2 kg . The mass ( m A ) of base satellite A is 20 kg . The initial velocity ( v B ) of sub satellite is 3 m / s j Calculation: Sketch the impulse momentum diagram as shown in Figure 1. The cord is inextensible, after it becomes taut, the component of v B along AB must be equal to v A . Express the velocity base satellite in vector form: v A = ( v A cos θ +v B / A sin θ ) i Express the velocity v B / A in vector form: v B / A = ( v A sin θ − v B / A cos θ ) j Express the linear momentum x component is conserved. 0 = m A v A cos θ + m B v A cos θ + m B v B / A sin θ 0 = 13.2 v A + 1.6 v B / A (1) Express the linear momentum y component is conserved. 2 kg ( 3 m / s ) = m A v A sin θ + m B v A sin θ − m B v B / A cos θ 6 = 17.6 v A − 1.2 v B / A (2) Find the velocity of base satellite using the Equation as follows: Solving the Equation (1) and (2) to get values, v A = 0.2182 m / s v B / A = − 1.8 m / s Thus, the velocity of base satellite A is 0

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 approaching the planet Saturn reaches point A with a velocity vA of magnitude 68.8 × 103 ft/s. It is to be placed in an elliptic orbit about Saturn so that it will be able to periodically examine Tethys, one of Saturn’s moons. Tethys is in a circular orbit of radius 183 × 103 mi about the center of Saturn, traveling at a speed of 37.2 × 103 ft/s. Determine (a) the decrease in speed required by the spacecraft at A to achieve the desired orbit, (b) the speed of the spacecraft when it reaches the orbit of Tethys at B.

Q.1. A block of mass m = 0.5 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of spring constant k = 450 N/m and negligible mass. The spring is compressed a distance x from equilibrium, and then released from rest. The block travels along a frictionless horizontal surface and reaches point B with a speed vg = 12 m/s. Take g = 10 m/s2. The compression of the spring is: a. x = 0.16 m b. x = 0.467 m c. x = 0.533 m B. d. x = 0.4 m

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
