The kings of planet A (mass 4M, radius 2R) and planet B (mass M, radius 3R) want to meet for negotiations. The planets are a distance 10R from one another, center to center. For absolute fairness, the kings (who possess no physics knowledge) decide that the meeting place P is to be exactly halfway between the planets. A space capsule of mass m is launched from point X on the surface of planet A by means of a giant cannon, which gives it a launch speed VL. It travels directly along the line that connects the centers of both planets. Ignore the orbital motion of the planets. a) Derive an expression for the speed V with which the capsule arrives at the meeting place P, in terms of relevant system parameters. b) Derive an expression for the net force (magnitude and direction) experienced by the capsule when it is at point P. c) At what distance from planet A is the net gravitational force zero?

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.

Atennis player used a tennis racket to hit a tennis ball with a mass of 0.25 kg with a force of 5.25 newtons. how does the force the tennis racket exerted on the tennis ball compare with the force the tennis ball exerted on the tennis racket? a. the force of the tennis racket on the tennis ball is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force the tennis ball exerted on the tennis racket. b. the force of the tennis racket on the tennis ball is equal in magnitude and in the same direction as the force the tennis ball exerted on the tennis racket. c. the force of the tennis racket on the tennis ball is less in magnitude and in the same direction as the force the tennis ball exerted on the tennis racket. d. the force of the tennis racket on the tennis ball is greater in magnitude and opposite in direction as the force the tennis ball exerted on the tennis racket.
