A projectile is launched from the surface of a planet (mass = 15 x 1024 kg, radius = R = 10.0 x 106 m). What minimum launch speed is required if the projectile is to rise to a height of 5R above the surface of the planet? Disregard any dissipative effects of the atmosphere. Put your answer in km/s. Equation Sheet Chabay Equation Sheet Serway Answer: 1231 * You could also be asked about the escape energy or escape velocity....
A projectile is launched from the surface of a planet (mass = 5x1024, radius = 1.1x106). What minimum launch speed is required if the projectile is to rise to a height above the surface of the planet equal to half the radius? Disregard any dissipative effects of the atmosphere. use WNC = 0= ΔU + ΔK = −GMm[(1/rB)-(1/rA)]+(1/2)m(vf^2-v0^2)
One model for a certain planet has a core of radius R and mass M surrounded by an outer shell of inner radius R, outer radius 2R, and mass 4M. If M-7.53 × 1024 kg and R = 7.08 x 106 m, what is the gravitational acceleration of a particle at points (a) R and (b) 3R from the center of the planet? (a) Number Unii (b) Number Units
3) Given five planets in another solar system. Their mass and radius are: Planet A: M and 2R Planet B: 2M and R Planet C: 4M and 2R Planet D: M and R Planet E: 2M and 3R Rank them in order of g value on their surface (Largest to smallest, show if any of them are equal). Explain how you arrived at your conclusions (Again use idea of forming ratios)
A small satellite of mass m is in circular orbit of radius r around a planet of mass M and radius R, where M>>m. a) For full marks, derive the potential, kinetic, and total energy of the satellite in terms of G, M, m, and r assuming that the potential energy is zero at r=infinity. b) What is the minimum amount of energy that the booster rockets must provide for the satellite to escape? c) Now we take into accouny...
A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius r about a planet of mass M. The period of the satellite's orbit is T. A second satellite of mass 2m is in a circular orbit of radius 2r around the same planet. The period of orbit for the second satellite is 2T 8T O2T OT O 4T
(c) (i) On the surface of a planet of mass \(\mathrm{M}\) and radius \(\mathrm{R}\), the gravitational potential energy of a molecule of mass \(\mathrm{m}\) is \(-\frac{G M m}{R}\). Show that the escape speed of a molecule from the surface is \(\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}\).(ii) The rms thermal speed of a molecule of mass \(m\) is given by \(v_{\text {th }}=\left(\frac{3 k T}{m}\right)^{1 / 2}\) where \(k\) is Boltzmann's constant . Using the appropriate temperature value from part (b) calculate the \(\mathrm{rms}\)...
A dwarf planet with mass M = 2.43 x 1016 kg and radius R = 2360 km is crashed into by a large comet. The dwarf planet initially has a day with length 12 hours. The comet hits the planet at its equator and at an angle of 0 = 80° with the radius of the planet, as shown in the view of the planet looking above from the North Pole. The speed of the comet is V comet =...
10. An astronaut is standing on the surface of a planetary satellite that has a radius of 1.74 x 106 m and a mass of 7.35 x 1022 kg. An experiment is planned where a projectile needs to be launched straight p from the surface. What must be the minimum initial speed of the projectile so it will reach a height of 2.55 x 106 m above this satellite's surface? G = 6.67 x 1011 kg2
