The Canadian Space Agency has decided to send an experimental probe to Mars. Its weight on...
Question 2 A space agency plans to send a probe to the Sun by launching it into an elliptical orbit with apoapsis at the Earth, which orbits a distance ae = 150 x 10km from the Sun. The probe is designed to withstand temperatures at a periapsis equal to ten times the Sun's radius Rs, where Rs = 696 x 10'km. a) Calculate the eccentricity of the elliptical orbit. (3 marks) (b) Assume that the probe is placed into the...
A small space probe of mass 180 kg is launched from a spacecraft near Mars. It travels toward the surface of Mars, where it will eventually land. At a time 22.6 seconds after it is launched, the probe is at location <4000, 8700, 0> m, and at this same instant its momentum is <50000, -7400, 0> kg·m/s. At this instant, the net force on the probe due to the gravitational pull of Mars plus the air resistance acting on the...
Question 7 (2 points) A space probe measures the gravitational acceleration near the surface of a large asteroid. It begins by hovering 34.0 m above its surface. It then turns off its engines. If it takes the spacecraft 25 s to touch the surface what it the acceleration on this asteroid? Your Answer: Answer units
A probe has been launched vertically from the surface of Mars. At time t 0, it has reached a height of y1,0 320 m, and is moving upward at vy10 80 m/s when its engines cut out. At the same moment, the mother ship is y20 1500 m from the Martian surface, moving down directly toward the probe at 25 m/s and slowing down at the rate of 0.80 m/s2. On the surface of Mars, the gravitational acceleration is gMars-3.72...
Problem 2.22 (Multistep) A small space probe of mass 160 kg is launched from a spacecraft near Mars. It travels toward the surface of Mars, where it will eventually land. At a time 22.7 seconds after it is launched, the probe is at location <4400, 7200, 0m, and at this same instant its momentum is <46000, -7600, 0> kg m/s. At this instant, thanat o on due to the gravitational pull of Mars plus the air resistance acting on the...
The Space X engineering group has been asked to design a mission to send a satellite in orbit around the Earth. The satellite has a mass m_s = 500 kg, and the rocket has a mass m_R = 2000 kg. The satellite is required to revolve with an elliptic orbit around the Earth with velocity v_B = 25 km/s when it is located in point B, at a distance to the earth r_B = 10 Mm. Assuming the mass of...
A spring has a relaxed length of 36 cm (0.36 m) and its spring stiffness is 9 N/m. You glue a 83 gram block (0.083 kg) to the top of the spring, and push the block down, compressing the spring so its total length is 19 cm. You make sure the block is at rest, then at time t = 0 you quickly move your hand away、The block begins to move upward, because the upward forc.e on th€ block by...
Procedure: Materials: 1. apparatus 2. 2 pieces of metal track 3. plastic or metal ball 4. timer 5. meter stick 6. micrometer 7. 2 photogates Assemble your ramp as shown in Figure (1) in the next page. Then set up photogates in location 2 and 3. Measure the diameter (in m) of the metal balls (you will need it for speed calculations). Then, measure the weight (mass) of the ball (in kg). To have a better measurement of the time,...
