A rogue black hole with a mass times the mass of the sun drifts into the solar system on a collision course with earth. How far is the black hole from the center of the earth when objects on the earth鈥檚 surface begin to lift into the air and 鈥渇all鈥 up into the black hole? Give your answer as a multiple of the earth鈥檚 radius.
A small moon orbits its planet in a circular orbit at a speed of . It takes to complete one full orbit. What is the mass of the planet?
Pluto moves in a fairly elliptical orbit around the sun. Pluto鈥檚 speed at its closest approach of km is 6.12 km/s. What is Pluto鈥檚 speed at the most distant point in its orbit, where it iskm from the sun?
In Problems 64 through 66 you are given the equation(s) used to solve a problem. For each of these, you are to
a. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation(s).
b. Draw a pictorial representation.
c. Finish the solution of the problem.
A 55,000 kg space capsule is in a 28,000-km-diameter circular orbit around the moon. A brief but intense firing of its engine in the forward direction suddenly decreases its speed by 50%. This
causes the space capsule to go into an elliptical orbit. What are the space capsule鈥檚 (a) maximum and (b) minimum distances from the center of the moon in its new orbit?
Hint: You will need to use two conservation laws.
