The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c.

At what speed does that observer measure the satellite traveling in the opposite direction? (See Section 6.2.)arrow_forward

To the crew's great surprise, a Klingon ship is 140 kmkm directly ahead, traveling in the same direction at a mere 30 km/skm/s . Without evasive action, the Enterprise will overtake and collide with the Klingons in just about 6.7 ss . The Enterprise's computers react instantly to brake the ship. What magnitude acceleration does the Enterprise need to just barely avoid a collision with the Klingon ship?

- One way to attack a satellite in Earth orbit is to launch a swarm of pellets in the same orbit as the satellite but in the opposite direction. Suppose a satellite in a circular orbit 500 km above Earth’s surface collides with a pellet having mass 4.0 g. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the pellet in the reference frame of the satellite just before the collision? (b)What is the ratio of this kinetic energy to the kinetic energy of a 4.0 g bullet from a modern army rifle with a muzzle speed of 950 m/s?arrow_forwardThe Large Hadron Collider, currently the world's most famous particle accelerator, generates a beam of protons (mass m, = 1.7 × 10-27 kg), and a beam of anti-protons (which have the same mass as protons), with the same speed, moving in the opposite direction. The machine collides the protons with the antiprotons to see what they leave behind. Famously, in 2012, the experiment reached a high-enough energy scale that a long-sought subatomic particle, the "Higgs Boson" was formed, which they found to have a mass my = 2.2 × 10-25 kg. We'll do this problem in MKS units, so recall that c= 3.00 x 10%m/s. Part A: Consider the collision of a single proton with a single antiproton, merging to form a single Higgs. Calculate the "gamma factor" y for the proton or the antiproton. (Note: because the protons and the antiprotons have equal masses and equal-but-opposite velocities, their y values will be the same, and the total momentum before the collision will be zero.) Part B: Calculate the work…arrow_forwardA binary-star system contains a visible star and a black hole moving around their center of mass in circular orbits with radii r1 and r2 , respectively. The visible star has an orbital speed of v=5.36x105 ms-1 and a mass of m1 =5Ms ,where Ms= 1.98x1030kg is the mass of our Sun. Moreover, the orbital period of the visible star is T = 30 hours.(a) What is the radius r1 of the orbit of the visible star?(b) Calculate the mass m2 of the black hole in terms of MS .
