1.Consider a satellite of the earth in a circular orbit of radius R. Let M and m be the mass of the earth and that of the satellite, respectively. Show that the centripetal acceleration of the satellite is aR = -(v^2/R)*(r/r) where v = |v| is the magnitude of the velocity V and r/r is a unit vector in the radial direction.
2.Using Newton's second low of motion and the law of universal gravitation, determine the speed v=|V| and the angular speed w for the circular orbit.
3.For two satellites in two different circular orbits with radii R1 and R2, respectively, prove kepler's second and third laws for this special case.

A bullet is shot horizontally and becomes embedded in a large block, which is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. How far will the block slide before stopping? The mass of the bullet is 12.6 g, the mass of the block is 9.8 kg, the bullet's impact speed is 710 m/s, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.220. (Assume that the block does not spin after being hit with the bullet.)

Object A is moving due east, while object B is moving due north. They collide and stick together in a completely inelastic collision. Momentum is conserved. Object A has a mass of mA = 17.0 kg and an initial velocity of v0A = 8.10 m/s, due east. Object B, however, has a mass of mB = 29.0 kg and an initial velocity of v0B = 5.20 m/s, due north. Find the magnitude of the final velocity of the two-object system after the collision.

A particle that has a charge of 7.6 μC moves with a velocity of magnitude 4 × 105 m/s along the +x axis. It experiences no magnetic force, although there is a magnetic field present. The maximum possible magnetic force that the charge with the given speed could experience has a magnitude of 0.310 N. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field. Note that there are two possible answers for the direction of the field.
