3. An object is launched from the surface of the Earth with speed v₁ at an angle = 30° to an axis perpendicular to the surface. The object's low-orbit path is displayed in the figure below, reaching a maximum height (called apogee) of 3R from the Earth's center, where R₂ = 6371 km. The mass of the Earth is M = 5.972 × 1024 kg. b. Is energy conserved in this motion?" 3R २
C7 9.) If the orbit is elliptical, rather than circular, what can be said about the work done by the Sun on Earth? a.) It does not matter whether the orbit is circular or elliptical, no work is done. b.) The work the Sun does on Earth causes the tides. c.) Whether the orbit is circular or elliptical, work must be done to propel Earth around the Sun. d.) If the orbit is elliptical, work is done to speed up or to slow down Earth, depending on its location in orbit. e.) The work the Sun does on Earth accounts for Earth's changes of season.
A 1,060 kg meteor strikes the surface of the Moon. What is the work done (in J) on the meteor by the gravitational field of the Moon, if we assume the meteor comes from deep space? The work done by the Moon's gravitational field is equal to the negative of the change of potential energy of the meteor-Moon system. You can assume the meteor comes from infinitely far. What is the final distance of the meteor, if it lands on the Moon's surface? You will need to look up two physical characteristics of the Moon to solve this problem. J

Q4. A ball of mass m attached to one end of a thin, light, inextensible string moves with speed vo in a circle of radius ro in free space. Calculate the work required to reduce the radius from rotor by pulling the other end of the string through a smooth tube that is perpendicular to the plane of the circle. Express the result in terms of m, vo, ro and r. (HINTS: 1) Tension in the string is a central force and therefore the angular momentum is conserved 2) If radius changes then the speed changes, hence the KE. (Use work-energy theorem) See the representative figure given below: ७o

A 70 kg secret agent skis down a hill and grabs a 200 kg bag then flies off a 12 m high cliff. The hill can be considered a 1/4 of a circle with a radius of 20 m. a) The initial mechanical energy of the agent at the top of the hill is 14,560 J relative to the location of the bag. If the average force of friction is 120 N determine the velocity of the agent before he picks up the bag. B) what is his apparent weight right before he picks up the bag? C) how fast is the agent traveling after he grabs a bag? D) how far from the base of the cliff does the agent land? Assume the resistance is negligible. E) Assume that the agent in his bag come to rest upon colliding with the ground at the base of the cliff. What is an impulse that he in the bag experiences? Estimate the resulting contact force on the agent. Discuss the likelihood of his living through the collision.
