You can find the escape velocity by equating the total kinetic and gravitational potential energy to zero E=12mv2esc−GmM/r=0E=12mvesc2−GmM/r=0 vesc=2GM/r−−−−−−√vesc=2GM/r where GG is Newton's constant of gravitation, MM is the mass of the object from which the escape is happening, and rr is its radius. This is physics you have seen in the first part of the course, and you should be able to use it to find an escape velocity from any planet or satellite. For the Earth, for example the escape velocity is about 11.2 km/s, and for the Moon it is 2.38 km/s. A very important point about escape velocity: it does not depend on what is escaping. A spaceship or a molecule must have this velocity or more away from the center of the planet to be free…arrow_forwardI Review I Constants During most of its lifetime, a star maintains an equilibrium size in which the inward force of gravity on each atom is balanced by an outward pressure force due to the heat of the nuclear reactions in the core. But after all the hydrogen "fuel" is consumed by nuclear fusion, the pressure force drops and the star undergoes a gravitational collapse until it becomes a neutron star. In a neutron star, the electrons and protons of the atoms are squeezed together by gravity until they fuse into neutrons. Neutron stars spin very rapidly and emit intense pulses of radio and light waves, one pulse per rotation. These "pulsing stars" were discovered in the 1960s and are called pulsars. Part A = 2.0 x 1030 kg) and size (R 3.5 x 10° m) of our sun rotates once every 35.0 days. After undergoing gravitational collapse, A star with the mass (M the star forms a pulsar that is observed by astronomers to emit radio pulses every 0.100 s. By treating the neutron star as a solid sphere,…arrow_forward

The slingshot effect is a frequently used method for speeding up spaceships without using much rocket fuel. To use this effect, the spaceship is diverted to pass around one of the inner planets (such as Venus). If the spaceship is sent in the right direction, it will reach to greater speeds after it passes around the planet. You will see the effect at play in this question. A spaceship is sent with an initial velocity of is = (30 - j – 20 - î) km/s towards a planet. The planet is moving with velocity úp = 20i km/s. After the encounter with the planet, the spaceship emerges to be moving along the +r direction (with a final velocity of the form is = vgi). Find the final speed of the spaceship in units of km/s. = 40 km/s. 40 Incorrect answer. Hint 1: This is an elastic "collision".

In order to make it as exciting as possible, I am going to delay opening my parachute. Assume that: when I leap from the airplane I have an initial velocity of 0 m/sec, the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/sec, and there is no air resistance (until I open my parachute!). (m = meters, sec = seconds) How fast will I be falling after 10 seconds, assuming I have not yet opened my parachute? Your answer should be a number expressed in the units of m/sec, rounded to the nearest Integer. For example, if your answer is 1,234.5 m/sec, then enter 1235, and if your answer is 1,234.0 m/sec, then enter 1234. Do not enter the units. Enter your answer here а.
