The water is perfectly still. What is your acceleration: a) If you’re heading due North? b) If you’re heading due East? c) If you’re heading straight up (something probably went wrong at this point). You may assume the following: The earth has a radius of 6371 km. The earth makes one full revolution every 24 hours. The gravitational constant at sea level is 9.81 m/s2.

The captain orders the ship to travel 1.7 × 106 kilometers, then turn 70° and travel an additional 1.3 x 106 kilometers to reach the space station. If the captain had not ordered a course correction, what would have been the magnitude and direction of the path of the spaceship if it had traveled through the nebula? magnitude direction y L A nebula spaceship km ° counterclockwise from the +x axis space station Barrow_forward

I know we will use Hohmann Transfer and a combined plane change. In the opening scene of the movie “Gravity” Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) are required to transit from the Hubble Space Telescope (Altitude 600 km, 28.5 degree inclination) to the International Space Station (Altitude 400 km, 51.6 degree inclination) using nothing but their Manned Maneuvering Units (MMU). An MMU has a delta V capability of about 30 m/s, and it would be impossible to perform this maneuver with so little delta V, but… a.) How much delta V would be required for this maneuver? b.) What if the maneuver did not require an inclination change (altitude change only?)arrow_forward
