Problem 67P

The space shuttle, with mass 86.400 kg. is in a circular-orbit of radius 6.66 × 106 m around the earth. It takes 90.1 min for the shuttle to complete each orbit. On a repair mission, the shuttle is cautiously moving 1.00 m closer to a disabled satellite every 3.00 s. Calculate the shuttle’s kinetic energy (a) relative to the earth and (b) relative to the satellite.

On a repair mission, the shuttle is cautiously moving 1.00 m closer to a disabled satellite every 3.00 s. Calculate the shuttle’s kinetic energy (a) relative to the earth and (b) relative to the satellite.

ANSWER:

Solution 76P

a)Mass of the shuttle is 86400 kg.

The radius of the shuttle’s orbit is,

$R=6.66\times{}1{0}^{6}\ m$ .

The time to complete 1 complete revolution is,

$T=90.1\ min=90.1\times{}60=5406\ s$ .

A bead with mass 1.8 X 10-2 kg is moving along a wire in the positive direction of an x axis. Beginning at time t = 0, when the bead passes through x = 0 with speed 12 mis, a constant force acts on the bead. Figure 7-22 indicates the bead's position at these four times: to = 0, t1 = 1.0 s, t2 = 2.0 s
