This time we have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 9.03 x 10^6 kg and length 1153 meters. Small probes of mass 8848 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 4248 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 332 m from the center of the rod. After 15 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning?1.25 rpm3.57 rpm1.79 rpm4.28 rpm

(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?arrow_forwardThree point particles are fixed in position in an xy plane. Two of them, particle A of mass 5 g and particle B of mass 11 g, are shown in the figure with a separation of dAB = 0.579 m at angle = 30°. Particle C, with mass 8 g, is not shown. The net gravitational force acting on particle A due to particles B and C is 2.02 x 10-¹4 N at an angle of -163.8��. from the positive x axis. What are (a) the x coordinate and (b) the y coordinate of particle C? B dAB 0 Aarrow_forward
