Consider a satellite around Earth in an elliptic orbit. At a point in its orbit, the radius (in km) from the center of the Earth is varying with time as r(t) = 7000 - 0.54 t (with t in seconds). The angular rate is 0 (t) = 1.02 x 10³ rad/s. What is the magnitude of acceleration (in m/s²) at t = 0.
To get a flat, uniform cylindrical satellite spinning at the correct rate, engineers fire four tangential rockets as shown in the figure. If the satellite has a mass of 3200 kg , a radius of 4.9 m , 'and the rockets each add a mass of 240 kg , what is the required steady force of each rocket if the satellite is to reach 30: rpm in 5.5 min , starting from rest?

Gravitational Slingshot Often in designing orbits for satellites, people use what is termed a "gravitational slingshot effect." The idea is as follows: A satellite of mass m; and speed v,i circles around a planet of mass m, that is moving with speed v in the opposite direction. See the diagram below: Although the satellite never touches the planet, this interaction can still be treated as a collision because of the gravitational interaction between the planet and satellite during the slingshot. Since gravity is a conservative force, the collision is elastic. Use an x-axis with positive pointing to the right. Solve for the unknowns below algebraically first, then use the following values for the parameters. m, = 2.40E+24 kg m; = 880 kg Viz = 3.050E+3 m/s Vpiz = -6.10E+3 m/s Solve for the final velocity of the satellite after the collision.
8.11 Estimate the total delta-v requirement for a Hohmann transfer from earth to Mercury, assuming a 150-km-altitude circular parking orbit at earth and a 150-km circular capture orbit at Mercury. Furthermore, assume that the planets have coplanar circular orbits with radii equal to the semimajor axes listed in Table A.1. {Ans.: 13.08 km/s}
A 0.45 kg tetherball is attached to a pole and rotating in a horizontal circle of radius r₁ = 1.4 m and is circling at angular speed = 1.42 rad/s. As the rope wraps around the pole the radius of the circle shortens and became r2 = 0.9 m, that decreases the moment of inertia of the rotating tetherball. What is the moment of inertia of the rotating ball after the rope is wrapped around the pole measured in kgm2 (answer with 3 decimal places)?
