Check Your Understanding By what factor must the radius change to reduce the orbital velocity of a satellite by one-half? By what factor would this change the period?
A body with a mass of 10.0 kg is assumed to be in Earth’s gravitationaI field with g=9.80m/s2 . What is its acceleration?
The gravitational force exerted on an astronaut on the Earths surface is 650 N directed downward. When she is in the space station in orbit around the Earth, is the gravitational force on her (a) larger, (b) exactly the same, (c) smaller, (d) nearly but not exactly zero, or (e) exactly zero?
Check Your Understanding The U.S. Air Force uses “10gs” (an acceleration equal to 109.8m/s2 ) as the maximum acceleration a human can withstand (but only tot several seconds) aid survive. How much time must the Enterprise spend accelerating if the humans on board are to experience an average at most 10gs of acceleration? (Assume the inertial dampeners are offline.)
A space station, in the form of a wheel 120 m in diameter, rotates to provide an artificial gravity of 3.00 m/s2 for persons who walk around on the inner wall of the outer rim. Find the rate of the wheels rotation in revolutions per minute that will produce this effect.
A nonrotating frame of reference placed at the center of the Sun is very nearly an inertial one. Why is it not exactly an Inertial frame?
Check Your Understanding There is another consideration to this last calculation of ME. We derived Equation 13.8 assuming that the satellite orbits around the center of the astronomical body at the same radius used in the expression for the gravitational force between them. What assumption is made to justify this? Earth is about 81 times more massive than the Moon. Does the Moon orbit about the exact center of Earth? Which is about 17,000 mph. Using Equation 13.8, the period is T=2r3GME=2( 6.37 10 6+4.00 10 5m)3(6.67 10 11N m 2 /kg 2)(5.96 10 24kg)=5.55103s
Suppose an alien civilization has a space station in circular orbit around its home planet. The stations orbital radius is twice the planets radius, (a) If an alien astronaut has weight w just before launch from the surface, will she be weightless when she reaches the station and floats inside of it? (b) If not, what will be the ratio of her weight in orbit to her weight on the planets surface?
Check Your Understanding Assume you are in a spacecraft in orbit about the Sun at Earth’s orbit, but far away from Earth (so that it can be ignored). How could you redirect your tangential velocity to the radial direction such that you could then pass by Mars’s orbit? What would be required to change just the direction of the velocity?
A Molniya orbit is a highly eccentric orbit of a communication satellite so as to provide continuous communications coverage for Scandinavian countries and adjacent Russia. The orbit is positioned so that these countries have the satellite in view for extended periods in time (see below).
