A space elevator has an altitude above the Earth's surface of 40,000 km. What would be the kinetic energy of a 1kg mass at the end of our space elevator? What would be the gravitational potential energy of that mass? If the 1 kg object fell all the way down to the Earth's surface, what would be its speed just before impact? (The radius of Earth is 6.4 x 106 m).

Part a) Calculate the energy required to lift 1 litre of gasoline from the surface of the Earth to an altitude of 3000 km above the surface of the Earth. Use g = 9.81 m s-2, the radius of the Earth is 6371 km, and the density of gasoline is 749 kg m-3. Part b) A planet orbits the Sun in a circular orbit. The force of gravity is the centripetal force of the circular motion. Assuming that potential energy...

A 507 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 754 km above a planet’s surface. This planet is similar to our Earth. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually is brought to the Earth’s surface, and it hits the Earth with a speed of 3 km/s. The radius of the planet is 7 × 106 m and its mass is 8 × 1024 kg. The gravitational constant is 6.67259 × 10−11 N m2 /kg2. How much...

Newton's constant of gravitation G is 6.67×10-11 in the system of units we use with mass in kilograms, length in meters, and time in seconds. The radius of Earth is approximately 6.378 ×106 m, and its mass is 5.97 × 1024 kg. With all this you can evaluate conservation of energy from Earth's surface and find an escape velocity of about 11.2 km/s from Now suppose we wanted to orbit a spacecraft in low Earth orbit just a few hundred...
