QUESTION 7
-
This time we have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 8.83 x 10^6 kg and length 1402 meters. Small probes of mass 7640 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 3996 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 400 m from the center of the rod. After 13 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning?

- A meteoroid is moving towards a planet. It has mass m = 0.54×109 kg and speed v1 = 4.7×107 m/s at distance R1 = 1.6×107 m from the center of the planet. The radius of the planet is R = 0.78×107 m. The mass of the planet is M = 5.6×1025kg. There is no air around the planet. a)Enter an expression for the total energy E of the meteoroid at R, the surface of the planet, in terms of defined quantities and v, the meteoroid’s speed when it reaches the planet’s surface. Select from the variables below to write your expression. Note that all variables may not be required.α, β, θ, d, g, G, h, m, M, P, R, R1, t, v, v1 b)Enter an expression for v, the meteoroid’s speed at the planet’s surface, in terms of G, M, v1, R1, and R. c)Calculate the value of v in meters per second.arrow_forwardCan you please help me with this question please?
