Start with a At=60 s and initial speed= 2000 m/s in a direction perpendicular to the line between the spacecraft and Earth. Create a sphere representing the spacecraft. Consider the radius=0.1*Earth radius (although it is much smaller, we would not see it if we chose any smaller value) and make sure to leave a trail. Create a sphere representing Earth, set it at the origin. Initiate a while loop with rate (1000).

Calculate the effective gravitational field vector g at Earths surface at the poles and the equator. Take account of the difference in the equatorial (6378 km) and polar (6357 km) radius as well as the centrifugal force. How well does the result agree with the difference calculated with the result g = 9.780356[1 + 0.0052885 sin 2 0.0000059 sin2(2)]m/s2 where is the latitude?
At one point in space, the direction of the electric field vector Is given In the Cartesian system by the unit vector . If the magnitude of the electric field vector is E=400.0V/m , what are the scalar components , and of the electric field vector at this point? What is the direction angle of the electric field vector at this point?
A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure 1.69
Let gM represent the difference in the gravitational fields produced by the Moon at the points on the Earths surface nearest to and farthest from the Moon. Find the fraction gM/g, where g is the Earths gravitational field. (This difference is responsible for the occurrence of the lunar tides on the Earth.)

Astronomers need to identify the position of objects in the sky with very high precision. For that, it is essential to have coordinate systems that specify the position of an object at a given time. One of them is the equatorial coordinate system that is widely used in astronomy. (a) Explain how the equatorial coordinate system works. (b) What is the meaning of J2000 that often occurs together with equatorial coordinates? The object NGC 4440 is a galaxy located in the Virgo Cluster at the following equatorial coordi- nates (J2000): 12h 27m 53.6° (right ascension), 12° 17'36" (declination). The Calar Alto Observatory is located in Spain at the geographical coordinates 37.23°N and 2.55°W. (c) Is the NGC 4440 galaxy observable from the Calar Alto Observatory?
A ferris wheel has a radius of 75 feet and its center is 80 feet above the ground. You ride the wheel once around and get off. (a) Find a function that expresses your height in terms of the angle of rotation of the wheel since you boarded. Be sure to give the function a name and define its input and output (with units) in complete sentences. Include the function's domain. Explain your reasoning clearly. (b) When you are 108 feet above the ground for the second time, the wheel comes to a stop. It then turns through a small angle and stops again. Ap- prorimate the change in your height in terms of this small angle of rotation. Be sure to define these changes precisely and to erplain your logic. (c) Suppose the wheel turned through an angle of 2° as described in part (b). Use your result of part (b) to approximate the change in your height. Include units at each step and for each number in the computation. Craft your response to this question in the form of a letter to a friend.…
