You are on a space station, in a circular orbit h = 500 km above the surface of the Earth. You complete your tasks several days early and must wait for the next mission from the surface to bring you home. After days of boredom, you decide to play some golf. Walking on the space station surface with magnetic shoes, you tee up a golf ball. You hit it with all of your might, sending it off with speed υrel, relative to the space station, in a direction parallel to the velocity vector of the space station at the moment the ball is hit. You notice that you then orbit the Earth exactly n = 2.00 times and you reach up and catch the golf ball as it returns to the space station. With what speed υrel was the golf ball hit?
The escape speed of a projectile on the earth’s surface is 11.2 km s-1. A body is projected out with thrice this speed. What is the speed of the body far away from the earth? Ignore the presence of the sun and other planets.
A planet has a radius of 4.00 x 10^6 m, and rotates so rapidly that an object on the equator feels only 10% of the weight that it feels at the poles. What is the speed of an object at the equator?
