Textbook Question
Chapter 30, Problem 31P
An unlabeled bottle of liquid has spilled, and you're trying to find out whether it's relatively harmless ethyl alcohol or toxic benzene. You submerge a glass block with n = 1.52 in the liquid, and shine a laser beam so it strikes the submerged glass with incidence angle 31.5°. You measure the angle of refraction in the glass at 27.9°. Which liquid is it? (See Table 30.1.)

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?
