Suppose that you are stranded-your rocket engine has failed-on an asteroid of diameter 3 miles, with density equal to that of the earth with radius 3,960 miles. If you have enough spring in your legs to jump 4.9 feet straight up on earth while wearing your space suit, can you blast off from this asteroid using leg power alone? ft Note that the escape velocity on Earth is about 36,680 Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Type integers or decimals rounded to two decimal places as needed.) ft ft is less than your initial velocity when jumping, O A. Yes, you can blast off because the escape velocity of the asteroid, ft ft O B. No, you cannot blast off because the escape velocity of the asteroid, is greater than your initial velocity when jumping.

The ace pilot, Wash, attempts to put the ship Serenity (50,000 kg) in orbit at an altitude of 400 km around a planet (called Haven), which is about the same size as the Earth (D = 12,800 km). He has slowed to an approach velocity of 2 km/s. (recall: G = 6.67 x10-11 N m2 kg-2) Unfortunately, on approach, Serenity’s engines fail and she begins to plummet towards the surface. If the ship accelerates at 1.8g, what is the mass of the planet? What would the acceleration of the ship be at 350 km? Is a constant acceleration safe to assume? Assume that the average acceleration over the 50 km, what is the velocity of Serenity at the height of 350-km? Upon entry, the ship hits the atmosphere at 350 km (with a density of 0.1 kg m-3). The ship slows to a terminal velocity of 1550 m/s. How big is the heat shield that slows the ship? How quickly does the ship slow (ignore gravity)?
Due to the conservation of angular momentum, what will happen to the rotation speed of a large Red Giant star when it undergoes a Type II Supernova explosion and collapses into a compact Neutron Star? Nota Bene: Consider only what happens to the star during its collapse, not what may happen to it later. A Its rotation will slow down. B It will rotate at the same speed. C Its rotation will speed up.
A pendulum in your house swings from one side to the other in a span of 0.8 seconds. How long is the string that is attached to the mass?
You are tasked with designing the runway on an aircraft carrier. The minimum speed for the F/A-18 Hornet is 193.8 mph. The Hornet weighs 40,000 lbf and its twin engines provide a thrust of ~40,000 lbf combined, providing a max acceleration of 1g. How long must the deck be to takeoff unassisted in feet?

(III) You are lying on a beach, your eyes 20 cm above the sand. Just as the Sun sets, fully disappearing over the horizon, you immediately jump up, your eyes now 150 cm above the sand, and you can again just see the top of the Sun. If you count the number of seconds(= t) until the Sun fully disappears again, you can estimate the Earth’s radius. But for this Problem, use the known radius of the Earth to calculate the time t.
QUESTION 3 A 7.62 mm caliber bullet travel in two different medium of gas of helium and nitrogen at constant speed of 1,548 miles per hour. The properties of the gas are given in Table 1.

Sketch your ideas of this bullet travel and the shock wave (if available).
Recall the discussion on spacecraft from the chapter opener. The following problems consider a rocket launch from Earth’s surface. The force of gravity on the rocket is given by F(d)=−mk/d2, where m is the mass of the rocket, d is the distance of the rocket from the center of Earth, and k is a constant. 172. As the rocket travels away from Earth’s surface, there is a distance D where the rocket sheds some of its mass, since it no longer needs the excess fuel storage. We can write this function as F(d)=⎨(−m↓1 k / d^2) if d < D (−m↓2 k / d^2) if d ≥ D Is there a D value such that this function is continuous, assuming m1≠m2?
2. On an alien planet (with unknown gravity), a 5 kilogram object is dropped from rest 10 meters above the ground. In the atmosphere of this planet, the object is estimated to have a drag constant of –3 kg/sec. (Assume drag is proportional to velocity) The object takes 15 seconds to hit the ground. Use this information to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on this planet.
A Water Balloon Battle. You are launching water balloons at a rival team using a large slingshot. The other team is set up on the opposite side of a flat-topped building that is 30.0 ft tall and 50.0 ft wide. Your reconnaissance team has reported that the opposition is set up 10.0 m from the wall of the building. Your balloon launcher is calibrated for launch speeds that can reach as high as 90 mph at angles between 0 and 85.0° from the horizontal. Since a direct shot is not possible (the opposing team is on the opposite side of the building), you plan to splash the other team by making a balloon explode on the ground near them. If your launcher is located 55.0 m from the building (opposite side as the opposing team), what should your launch velocity be ((a) magnitude and (b) direction) to land a balloon 5.0 meters beyond the opposing team with maximum impact (i.e. maximum vertical speed)?

LR = 5m, LG = 2.5m and LC = 1.1m Q2. The Skylark family of sounding rockets consisted of a number of variants (denoted Skylark 5, Skylark 7, and Skylark 12 respectively).
