NO.61

58. A projectile is launched vertically upward from a planet of mass
M and radius R; its initial speed is V2 times the escape speed
Derive an expression for its speed as a function of the distance r
from the planet's center.
59. A spacecraft is in circular orbit 5800 km above Earth's surface
CH How much will its altitude decrease if it moves to a new circular
orbit where (a) its orbital speed is 10% higher or (b) its orbital
m period is 10% shorter?
60. Two meteoroids are 150,000 km from Earth's center and head-
ing straight toward Earth, one at 6 km/s, the other at 12 km/s. At
what speeds will they strike Earth?
61. The New Horizons mission to Pluto had the fastest launch speed
of any space probe-16.26 km/s. Assuming this speed was
achieved at negligible altitude compared with Earth's radius, find
CH

New Horizons' speed when it crossed the Moon's orbit.
62. A satellite is in an elliptical orbit at altitudes ranging from 230 to
890 km. At its highest point, it's moving at 7.23 km/s. How fast is
it moving at its lowest point?
63. A missile's trajectory takes it to a maximum altitude of 1500 km.
If its launch speed is 6.2 km/s, how fast is it moving at the peak of
its trajectory?

rhitol radius (b) its kinetic
