A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earths surface with an initial speed of 2.00 104 m/s. What will its speed be when it is very far from the Earth?

You are designing a single-stage rocket to launch a 300-kg satellite. Assume the rocket engine's I, as 460 sec. Use g=9.8 m/sec² for the gravity acceleration constant. sp (a) Assume that you are launching the satellite in free space with no gravity and no aerodynamic drag, and your rocket has zero mass except the pronellants and the satellite. Calculate the mass of the propellants to give AV = 7.784 km/sec. (b) Assume the same in (a) except that the rocket's mass is proportional to the propellants: 15% of the propellants. Calculate the mass of the propellants for AV=7.784 km/sec. (Of course, the rocket's mass remains the same after the burn)
For years, the tallest tower in the United States was the Phoenix Shot Tower in Baltimore, Maryland. The shot tower was used from 1828 to1892 to make lead shot for pistols and rifles and molded shot for cannons and other instruments of warfare. Molten lead was dropped from the top of the 82.15 m tall tower into a vat of water. During its free fall, the lead would form a perfectly spherical droplet and solidify. Determine the velocity of the droplet right before it hits the ground. (Note: acceleration = -9.81 m/s/s) (Hint: think about the direction the droplet travels when considering its displacement.) ___________m/s
Two asteroids collide and stick together, with initial and final states as shown. If the velocity v1i = 13 m/s, what is the magnitude of the initial velocity v2i of the second asteroid?
A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ? = 2.67 × 106 g/m3 and volume V =1.71 × 1012 m3. Recall that the universal gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 (Nm2)/(kg2).
On Oct 31 2015, massive asteroid TB145 nicknamed "Spooky" passed near the Earth vicinity. The measured diameter of the asteroid: 600meters, and its speed relative to the Sun: 30.5 km/s. (NOTE you are not given the parameters of collision, so they become important part of the "worst case -best case scenario.") Treat the asteroid as spherical object with the density of between 3g/cm³ to 4g/cm³. Treat an Earth's orbit around the Sun as a perfect circle of radius =150 x 106 km. Take one year to be 365.24days. Find the worst case scenario for the collision of such object with the Earth and find the Maximum energy released in the completely inelastic collision of this object with Earth. State your answers to the nearest mega-ton of TNT. (1 megaton of TNT= 4.184 X1015J). Your Answer: Answer
Two stars each of one solar mass (= 2×1030 kg) are approaching each other for a head on collision. When they are a distance 109 km, their speeds are negligible. What is the speed with which they collide ? The radius of each star is 104 km. Assume the stars to remain undistorted until they collide. (Use the known value of G)
An alpha particle (a two protons, two neutrons) moves into a stationary gold atom (Au = 79 protons, 118 neutrons), passing through the electron region that surrounds the gold nucleus like a shell and headed directly toward the nucleus (see below). The alpha particle slows until it momentarily stops when its center is at radial distance r from the nuclear center. Then it moves back along its incoming path. (Because the gold nucleus is much more massive than the alpha particle, we can assume the gold nucleus does not move.) What was the kinetic energy K; of the alpha particle when it was initially far away (hence external to the gold atom)? Assume that the only force acting between the alpha particle and the gold nucleus is the (electrostatic) Coulomb force and treat each as a single charged particle. 9.23 fm It was actually experiments like this, performed between 1908 and 1913 by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, under the direction of Ernest Rutherford at the Physical Laborato- ries of…

You have been hired as an expert witness in an investiga- tion of a quadcopter drone incident. The incident occurred during a very rare meteor shower during which several unusually massive chunks of meteoric material were passing through the atmosphere and striking the ground. The unmanned drone was hovering at rest over the center of a house on fire, having just dropped fire retardant, when it seemed to spontaneously explode into four large pieces. The locations of the four pieces on the ground were meas- ured as follows, relative to the center of the house over which the drone was hovering: Distance from Center Direction Piece # Mass (kg) of House (m) from House 1 80.0 150 Due west 2 120 75.0 Due north 50.0 90.0 20.0° west of south 4 150 50.0 20.0° north of east The fire department is suggesting that the drone was defec- tive and exploded while in use. The drone manufacturer is suggesting that the drone was struck by a meteorite, causing the explosion. Perform a calculation that will…
A smooth billiard ball is projected from a point A on the edge of a circular billiard table in a direction making an angle with the radius to A. The coefficient of restitution is e. The ball makes q impacts with the wall before returning to A. Show that (a) 0 = 0 if q= 1, (1) tan? ø = e°/(1+e + e²) if q= 2, tan? o = e if q= 3. (ь) (2) (c) (3)
A 10 g bullet with velocity v passes through a 0.60 kg pendulum and exits with velocity v / 2. The pendulum is 30 cm long and is suspended from a rope of negligible mass. What is the minimum velocity of the projectile for the pendulum to move in a complete vertical circle? Find the minimum initial speed of the bullet necessary to provide the necessary speed to the pendulum. Can someone walk me through the steps? I am stumped on these types of problems and would appreciate it so much.
