An artificial earth satellite is initially orbiting the earth in a circular orbit of radius r0. at a certain instant, its rocket fires for a negligibly short period of time. this firing accelerates the satellite in the direction of motion and increases its velocity by a factor of α. the change of satellite mass due to the burning of fuel can be considered negligible. 1. let e0 and e denote the total energy of the satellite before and after the firing of the rocket. find e solely in terms of e0 and α. 2. for α > αes the satellite will escape from earth. what is αes? 3. for α < αes the orbit will be elliptical. for this case, find the maximum distance between the satellite and the center of the earth, rmax, in terms of r0 and α.

When a resistor with resistance r is connected to a 1.50-v flashlight battery, the resistor consumes 0.0625 w of electrical power. (throughout, assume that each battery has negligible internal resistance.) what power does the resistor consume if it is connected to a 12.6-v car battery? assume that r remains constant when the power consumption changes.

Asteam power plant operates on an ideal reheat rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 15 mpa and 10 kpa. the mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 12 kg/s. steam enters both stages of the turbine at 500°c. if the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 10 percent, determine (a) the pressure at which reheating takes place, (b) the total rate of heat input in the boiler, and (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. also, show the cycle on a t-s diagram with respect to the saturation lines.
