Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 58EAP
- Determine the average orbital separation of this system using Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law.
- Determine the average speed of each star with respect to the center of mass of the system.
- The center of mass of this system lies at the midpoint between the two stars because their masses are equal. The distance of each star from the center of mass is therefore equal to half the orbital separation. What is the angular momentum of each star with respect to the center of mass?
- Suppose the Sun had the same angular momentum as these two stars combined. Estimate the speed at which the Sun’s surface would be moving around the Sun’s rotation axis.
- How does the speed from part d compare with the escape velocity from the Sun’s surface? What would happen if the Sun were spinning this fast?

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets?
