Concept explainers
The diagrams at right show two identical gliders that move to the right without friction. The hands exert identical, horizontal forces on the gliders. The second glider experiences an additional, smaller force from a massless string held as shown.
Suppose the gliders move through identical displacements.
Is the work done on glider 1 by the hand greater than, less than, or equal to the work done on glider 2 by the hand? Explain.
Is the change in kinetic energy of glider 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the change in kinetic energy of glider 2? Base your answer on your knowledge of the net work done on each object.

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? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
