Chapter 5, Problem 24Q
To determine
To explain: The procedure for estimating the Pluto’s mass.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction :
The centripetal acceleration of a man depends upon the mass of its planet and its distance from planet.
The centripetal acceleration of moon can be given as,
Where,
M is mass of planet.
r is distance from planet to moon.
So, by knowing the centripetal acceleration and the distance of planet from moon, mass of planet
can be estimated.

- 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?
