A single-stage rocket of mass 308 metric tons (not including fuel) carries a payload of 3150 kg to low-Earth orbit. The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c. Because the exhaust speed of the redesigned rocket is increased by a factor of two, why is the fuel consumption of the redesigned rocket not exactly half that of the original rocket?
A binary-star system contains a visible star and a black hole moving around their center of mass in circular orbits with radii r1 and r2 , respectively. The visible star has an orbital speed of v=5.36x105 ms-1 and a mass of m1 =5Ms ,where Ms= 1.98x1030kg is the mass of our Sun. Moreover, the orbital period of the visible star is T = 30 hours.(a) What is the radius r1 of the orbit of the visible star?(b) Calculate the mass m2 of the black hole in terms of MS . [Hint: One root of the equation x3 = 20a(5a+x)2 , where a is a constant, is x = 28a .]
Mass of a Moving Particle The mass m of a particle moving at a velocity v is related to its rest mass m0 by the equation m = m0 1 − v2 c2 where c (2.98 ✕ 108 m/s) is the speed of light. Suppose an electron of rest mass 9.11 ✕ 10−31 kg is being accelerated in a particle accelerator. When its velocity is 2.87 ✕ 108 m/s and its acceleration is 2.45 ✕ 105 m/s2, how fast is the mass of the electron changing? (Enter your answer in scientific notation rounded to three significant figures.) ✕ 10kg/s
A group of Loyola students decided to depart from Earth after graduation to find work on Mars. Before building a shuttle, they conducted careful calculations. A model for the velocity of the shuttle, from liftoff at t = 0 s until the solid rocket boosters were jettisoned at t = 84.8 s, is given by ?(?)=0.001111333?^3−0.085745?^2+30.69?+9.71 (in feet per second). Using this model, estimate the global maximum value =?and global minimum value =?
An asteroid of mass m = 500 kg is moving through space at velocity Vmi = 3i+2j-9k(ms^-1). It collides with another asteroid of mass M=1000 kg moving with velocity and Vmi=-5i+9k(ms^-1). The two asteroids stick together. What is their velocity after the collision?
The force F acting on a body with mass m and velocity v is the rate of change of momentum: F = (d/dt)(mv). If m is constant, this becomes F = ma, where a = dv/dt is the acceleration. But in the theory of relativity the mass of a particle varies with v as follows: m= mo/NT- v/c², where mo is the mass of the particle at rest and c is the speed of light. Show that moa F = (1 – v*/c*)/²
Gravitational attraction force between two objects with masses m1 and m2, separated bydistance x, is F= G((m1m2)/x2))where G = 6.67 × 10−11 is constant.Suppose a 1.5 × 1013 [kg] comet is passing the orbit of Mars (x= 2.28 × 1011[m] )heading straight for the Sun (m= 2 × 1030[kg]) at a speed v = 3.5 × 104[m/s]. Whatwill its speed be when it crosses the orbit of Mercury (x = 5.79 × 109[m] ) ?[Hint: How much work is done by gravity when the separation changes from x1 to x2 ?]
Jupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system) that eject material as high as 500 km (or even higher) above the surface. Io has a mass of 8.93×1022kg8.93×1022kg and a radius of 1821 km. How high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io? (RE = 6370 km, mE=5.96×1024kg)
Astronomers predict that on Friday 13 April 2029 the asteroid 99942 Apophis is going to pass within 30,000 km of the Earth. Given the fact that, on average, the Moon is 385,000 km distant from the Earth, this asteroid is going to pass pretty darn close. 99942 Apophis has a mass of 2.7*10^10 kg and is expected to be traveling at a speed of 12.6 km/s relative to the Earth at the time of closest approach. What if astronomers goofed in their calculations and the asteroid is actually going to hit the Earth? With what kinetic energy would 99942 Apophis impact the Earth in terms of megatons of TNT? A detonation of 1 megaton of TNT releases 4.2 * 10^15 Joules of energy.
A two-star system spins in a circular path around the center of mass in the middle of the distance between them. This means that the masses of the two stars are equal, as in the figure. Suppose that the orbital velocity of each star v = 220 km / s and the periodic time of each one 14.4 days find the mass M for each star (compared to the sun’s mass, M= 1.99 x 10^30 kg). ReplyForward

Sphere C has mass mc 0.04 kg, velocity magnitude vc = 4.0 m/s and moves along the +x axis. See figure. They are all approaching the origin as they slide on a frictionless surface.

If one mass is much greater than the other, the larger mass stays essentially at rest while the smaller mass moves toward it. Suppose a 1.5×1013 kg comet is passing the orbit of Mars, heading straight for the 1.99×1030 kg sun at a speed of 4.5 ×104 m/s. What will its speed be when it crosses the orbit of Mercury? The orbit of Mars is 2.28×108 km, the orbit of Mercury is 5.79×107 km, and G = 6.67×10-11 N⋅m2/kg2.
