Galileo's Martian descendants find that when they release balls down ramps to fly off
tables that the relationship of table height h to the horizontal range of flight and the
launch velocity v is h = 1.5 (3) ²
They determine that releasing the ball from a 0.5-meter high ramp produces a launch
velocity of around 1.9 m/s. What horizontal range before hitting the ground will the
ball cover if launched off a 0.8-meter high table at this speed?

- A distant large asteroid is detected that might pose a threat to Earth. If it were to continue moving in a straight line at constant speed, it would pass 28500 km from the center of Earth. However, it will be attracted to Earth and might hit our planet. What is the minimum speed, in meters per second, that the asteroid should have when it is detected for it to miss hitting Earth? In other words, what speed should the asteroid have for it to just graze the surface of Earth?arrow_forwardIn 2004 two Martian probes successfully landed on the Red Planet. The final phase of the landing involved bouncing the probes until they came to rest (they were surrounded by protective inflated “balloons”). During one of the bounces, the telemetry (electronic data sent back to Earth) indicated that the probe too off at 25.0 m/s at an angle of 20 degrees and landed 110 m away (and then bounced again). Assuming the landing region was level, determine the acceleration due to gravity near the Martian surface.arrow_forward(a) A spaceship is projected vertically upward from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 6.96 km/s, but unfortunately does not have a great enough speed to escape Earth's gravity.

What is themaximum height that it will reach?arrow_forwardSpace debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites. One can estimate how long such a collision lasts; if an object of length l is traveling at a velocity v, it will cover a distance l in a time equal to l / v. This is the approximate time of interaction for an object being smashed against another object. Part (a) Calculate the speed (in m/s) of a satellite in an orbit 940 km above Earth’s surface. Part (b) Suppose a loose rivet is in an orbit of the same radius that intersects the satellite’s orbit at an angle of 90°. What is the speed (in m/s) of the rivet relative to the satellite just before striking it? Part (c) Given the rivet is 2.95 mm in size, how long will its collision with the satellite last? In this approximation, the rivet is completely destroyed and the collision does not slow the rivet down. Part (d) If its mass is 0.485 g, what is the average force it exerts on the satellite?
