The space shuttle releases a satellite into a circular orbit 535 km above the Earth.
How fast must the shuttle be moving (relative to Earth) when the release occurs?
Express your answer using three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
In order to rendezvous with an asteroid passing close to the earth, a spacecraft must be moving at 8.50 * 10^3 m/s relative to the earth at a distance of 2.50 * 10^8 m from the center of the earth. At what speed must this spacecraft be launched from the earth’s surface? Neglect air resistance and the gravitational pull of the moon.

- The radius Rh of a black hole is the radius of a mathematical sphere, called the event horizon, that is centered on the black hole. Information from events inside the event horizon cannot reach the outside world. According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, Rh = 2GM/c2, where M is the mass of the black hole and c is the speed of light. Suppose that you wish to study a black hole near it, at a radial distance of 48Rh. However, you do not want the difference in gravitational acceleration between your feet and your head to exceed 10 m/s2 when you are feet down (or head down) toward the black hole. (a) Take your height to be 1.5 m. What is the limit to the mass of the black hole you can tolerate at the given radial distance? Give the ratio of this mass to the mass MS of our Sun.
