Zero, a hypothetical planet, has amass of5.01023kg, a radius of3.0106m ,and no atmosphere. A10kg space probe is to be launched vertically from its surface. (a) If the probe is launched with an initial energy of 5.0107J, what will be its kinetic energy when it is4.0106m from the center of Zero? (b) If the probe is to achieve a maximum distance of 8.0106mfrom the center of Zero, with what initial kinetic energy must it be launched from the surface of Zero?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The kinetic energy of the probe at 4106m from center of zero planets is 2.2107J
  2. Initial kinetic energy when the maximum distance of probe is 8106mis7.0107J

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

Mass of Zero plant is, M=51023kg

The radius of Zero planet is, R=3106m

Mass of probe is, m=10kg

Initial kinetic energy is, KE1=5107J

02

Determining the concept

To find kinetic energy at4106m, first, calculate potential energy at that distance, followed by the calculation of potential energy onthesurface of Zero planet. Then, use conservation of energy to find kinetic energy.

To findtheinitial kinetic energy when the probe is at a maximum height8106m, find potential energy. At maximum height, the velocity is zero. So, kinetic energy is also zero. Hence, use the conservation of energy to find initial kinetic energy.

Formulae are as follows:

KE1+U1=KE2+U2U=GMmr

where, M, and m are masses, r is the radius, G is the gravitational constant, KE is kinetic energy and U is potential energy.

(a) Determining the kinetic energy of the probe at   4×108from center of the zero planet

Firstly, the initial potential energy on the surface of zero planets can be found as,

U1=-GMmR=-6.6710-11Nm2kg-251023kg10kg3106m=-1.12108J

Now, potential energy at r=4106m is,

U2=-GMmr=-6.6710-11Nm2kg-251023kg10kg4106m=-0.84108J

Now, to find the kinetic energy at 4106m from center of the Zero planet, use the formula for conservation of energy as follows:

KE1+U1=KE2+U2KE2=KE1+U1-U2KE2=5107J-11.2107J+8.4107JKE2=2.2107J

So, kinetic energy at a distance of 4103m is 2.2107J.

04

(b) Determining the initial kinetic energy when the maximum distance of the probe is at 8×106m

Kinetic energy at maximum height is zero. So,

KE2=0J

The potential energy at distance 8$106m is as follows:

U3=-GMmr=-6.6710-11Nm2kg-251023kg10kg8106m=-4.2107J

Potential energy on the surface of zero planets is calculated in part a.

So,

U1=-11.2107J

Now,the initial kinetic energy is as follows:

KE1+U1=KE2+U2KE1=KE2+U2-U1KE1=0-4.2107J+11.2107JKE1=7.0107J

Hence, initial kinetic energy when the maximum distance of the probe is 8106mis7.0107J

Therefore, using the concept of conservation of energy,thatis,the total energy (potential and kinetic energy) of the system remains constant, and the kinetic energy of the planet can be found.
