NASA's KC-135 Reduced Gravity Research aircraft, affectionately known as the "Vomit Comet," is used in training astronauts and testing equipment for microgravity environments. During a typical mission, the
aircraft makes approximately 30 to 40 parabolic arcs. During each arc, the aircraft and objects inside it are in free-fall, and passengers float freely in apparent "weightlessness."
The figure below shows the altitude of the aircraft during a typical mission. It climbs from 24,000 ft to 31,600 ft, where it begins a parabolic arc with a velocity of 150 m/s at 45.0° nose-high and exits with
velocity 150 m/s at 45.0° nose-low.

25. Aerobraking. A 5000 kg space pod is returning to Earth from a mission, and is using atmospheric
drag to slow itself down. In order to maximize deceleration and to prevent burning up in the atmosphere,
the pod has a 1000 kg spherical heat shield (note that this is included in the mass of the space pod) which
is 5m in diameter. The pod enters the atmosphere at velocity v = 10 km/s horizontally and encounters a
consistent drag force of F = 40.0 kN. 90% of the kinetic energy lost is turned into heat due to friction with
the air molecules. This causes the heat shield to heat up and glow. If the specific heat of the heat shield
is 10.0 kJ/(kg · K), what is the temperature of the heat shield after a minute if its initial temperature is
-20°C? Answer in degrees Celsius.
