Imagine you are the orbital engineer for the first NASA space shot to Ceres, the largest known asteroid. Ceres’s nearly circular orbit around the sun has a radius of R = 2.77 AU. After being launched from the earth, the probe will initially be in a circular orbit around the sun with the same radius (r_{c} = 1.0 AU) and the same orbital speed (|\vec{v}_{c}| = 6.28 AU/y) as the earth’s orbit. The probe’s rocket engines will then fire briefly...

An astronaut is exploring an unknown planet when she accidentally drops an oxygen canister into a 1.90-m-deep pool filled with an unknown liquid. Although she dropped the canister 46 cm from the edge, it appears to be 56 cm away when she peers in from the edge. What is the liquid's index of refraction? Assume that the planet's atmosphere is similar to earth's.
