Can you explain the major concepts needed to launch a satellite
into space, place it in a particular orbit around the Earth, keep
it in that orbit, and eventually dispose of it?
You are a junior space cadet on an interstellar space station.
Your job is to launch a long distance spacecraft. The mass of the
spacecraft without any fuel is 1217 kg. This mass is often called
dry mass. The rocket engine of the craft can exhaust hot gas at a
speed of 2.26 km/s relative to the space craft. How much rocket
propellant does the craft need, if you want the craft to reach a
final speed of 5.51 km/s...
You are an astronaut in the space shuttle pursuing a satellite
in need of repair. You are in a circular orbit of the same radius
as the satellite (420 km above the Earth), but 24 km behind it.
(a) How long will it take to overtake the satellite if you
reduce your orbital radius by 1.0 km?
___________ hr
(b) By how much must you reduce your orbital radius to catch up
in 7.0 hours?
___________ m
1, In the vector space models, you can use concepts or terms as
basic vectors. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of these
two types of vectors with respect to each other.
2. Consider following two words: {precision, precise}. Shall we
cluster them together if we set-up the similarity threshold to be
0.5? Please justify your answer. (Hint: use the dice coefficient to
compute the similarity.)
Outside the space shuttle, you and a friend pull on two ropes to
dock a satellite whose mass is 800 kg. The satellite is initially
at position < 3.0, -1.6, 3.0 > m and has a speed of 6 m/s.
You exert a force < -400, 400, 250 > N. When the satellite
reaches the position < 1.7, 2.6, 4.8 > m, its speed is 7.11
m/s. How much work did your friend do?
A. In the space below, place a pedigree chart that can
only be interpreted as representing an autosomal dominant trait.
Explain why this is so. (6 pts) You may use a written designation.
For example
I-1 (affected male X I-2 unaffected female
II-1 (affected male II-2 (affected female)

needed.
