Chapter , Problem 35

(choose chapter or problem)

A spacecraft is in a circular orbit about the moon, 1.22 3 105 m above its surface. The speed of the spacecraft is 1620 m/s, and the radius of the moon is 1.74 3 106 m. If the moon were a smooth, refl ective sphere, (a) how far below the moons surface would the image of the spacecraft appear, and (b) what would be the apparent speed of the spacecrafts image? (Hint: Both the spacecraft and its image have the same angular speed about the center of the moon.)
