We have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 2.60 x 10^6 kg and length 769 meters. Small probes of mass 8303 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 2888 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 196 m from the center of the rod. After 11 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning? 3.70 rpm 7.71 rpm 4.63 rpm 10.02 rpm

You are on a space station, in a circular orbit h = 475 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 vrel 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 vrel (in m/s) was the golf ball hit? Note: Your result will be unrealistically high-much higher than it is possible for a human to hit a golf ball. m/s
In the figure, two satellites, A and B, both of mass m = 36.8 kg, move in the same circular orbit of radius r = 7210 km around Earth (mass ME = 5.98×1024 kg) but in opposite senses of rotation and therefore on a collision course. (a) Find the total mechanical energy EA+ EB of the two satellites + Earth system before the collision. (b) If the collision is completely inelastic so that the wreckage remains as one piece of tangled material (mass = 2m), find the total mechanical energy immediately after the collision. (c) Just after the collision, is the wreckage falling directly toward Earth's center or orbiting around Earth? В Earth (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c)
A huge cannon is assembled on an airless planet having insignificant axial spin. The planet has a radius of 6 x 106 m and a mass of 4.68 x 1023 kg.
