Problem 4 A meteoroid is first observed approaching the earth when it is 402,000 km from the center of the earth with a true ano
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Part a: The eccentricity is 1.086.

Part b: The altitude at closest approach is 5088 km

Part c: The velocity at perigee is 8.516 km/s

Part d: The turn angle is 134.08 while the aiming radius is 5641.28 km

Explanation:

<h2>Part a </h2>

Specific energy is given by

\epsilon=\frac{v^2}{2}-\frac{\mu}{r}

Here

  • ε is the specific energy
  • v is the velocity which is given as 2.23 km/s
  • μ is the gravitational constant whose value is 398600
  • r is the distance between earth and the meteorite which is 402,000 km

                         \epsilon=\frac{v^2}{2}-\frac{\mu}{r}\\\epsilon=\frac{2.2^2}{2}-\frac{398600}{402,000}\\\epsilon=1.495 km^2/s^2

Value of specific energy is also given as

\epsilon=\frac{\mu}{2a}\\a=\frac{\mu}{2\epsilon}\\a=\frac{398600}{2\times 1.495}\\a=13319 km

Orbit formula is given as

r=a(\frac{e^2-1}{1+ecos \theta})\\ae^2-recos\theta-(a+r)=0

Putting values in this equation and solving for e via the quadratic formula gives

ae^2-recos\theta-(a+r)=0\\(133319)e^2-(402000)(cos 150) e-(133319+402000)=0\\133319e^2+348142.21 e-535319=0\\\\e=\frac{-348142.21 \pm \sqrt{348142.21^2-4(133319)(535319)}}{2 (133319)}\\\\e=1.086 \, or \, -3.69

As the value of eccentricity cannot be negative so the eccentricity is 1.086.

<h2>Part b</h2>

The radius of trajectory at perigee is given as

r_p=a(e-1)\\

Substituting values gives

r_p=133319 (1.086-1)\\r_p=11465.4 km

Now for estimation of altitude z above earth is given as

z=r_p-R_E\\z=11465.4-6378\\z=5087.434\\z\approx 5088 km

So the altitude at closest approach is 5088 km

<h2>Part c</h2>

radius of perigee is also given as

r_p=\frac{h^2}{\mu}\frac{1}{1+e}

Rearranging this equation gives

h=\sqrt{r_p\mu(1+e)}\\h=\sqrt{11465.4 \times 3986000 \times (1+1.086)}\\h=97638.489 km^2/s

Now the velocity at perigee is given as

v_p=\frac{h}{r_p}\\v_p=\frac{97638.489}{11465.4}\\v_p=8.516 km/s\\

So the velocity at perigee is 8.516 km/s

<h2>Part d</h2>

Turn angle is given as

\delta =2 sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{e})

Substituting value in the equation gives

\delta =2 sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{e})\\\delta =2 sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{1.086})\\\delta =134.08

Aiming radius is given as

\Delta =a \sqrt{e^2-1}

Substituting value in the equation gives

\Delta =a \sqrt{e^2-1}\\\Delta =13319 \sqrt{1.086^2-1}\\\Delta=5641.28 km

So the turn angle is 134.08 while the aiming radius is 5641.28 km

Suppose you dissolve 4.75 g of another solid (not urea) in 50.0 mL of water. You note that the temperature changes from 25.0 °C
torisob [31]

Answer:

Mass of the solution  = 54.75 g

Explanation:

Mass of solid dissolved = 4.75 g

Mass of the solution = Mass of solid dissolved + Mass of water.

Mass of water = Volume x Density

Volume = 50 mL = 50 cm³

Density = 1 g/cm³

Mass of water = 50 x 1 = 50 g

Mass of the solution = 4.75 + 50 = 54.75 g
