The Millennium Falcon is trying to stay in the Death Star’s blind spot by following a geosynchronous orbit above it. The Falcon is 2.1x10^5m above the surface of the Death Star,
which has a radius of 80 km. The Death Star has a mass of 2.3x10^18 kg and it makes one full rotation about its central axis every 22 hours. What speed does the Falcon need to maintain in order to stay in geosynchronous orbit with the Death Star ?
(Note: there is enough information given in this problem to solve it via two different, independent methods. Try to figure both of them out! They both give the same correct answer.)

Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 70.0 kg ) and Rebecca (mass 45.0 kg ), are practicing. Daniel stops to tie his shoelace and, while at rest, is struck by Rebecca, who is moving at 14.0 m/s before she collides with him. After the collision, Rebecca has a velocity of magnitude 8.00 m/s at an angle of 55.1 ∘ from her initial direction. Both skaters move on the frictionless, horizontal surface of the rink.
A) What is the magnitude of Daniel's velocity after the collision?
B) What is the direction of Daniel's velocity after the collision?
C) What is the change in total kinetic energy of the two skaters as a result of the collision?

Consider a satellite of mass ms in circular orbit around Earth, a distance h above Earth's surface. Assume the Earth is a sphere with radius Re and mass Me.
(a) As the satellite travels in circular orbit, will its speed increase, decrease, or remain constant? Explain.
(b) The only force acting on the satellite is gravity, so the satellite is in freefall. Why doesn't the satellite get closer to Earth's surface?
(c) Determine the ratio of the force of gravity on the satellite while in orbit to the force of gravity on the satellite while on the surface of Earth. Simplify your answer; no complex fractions! Give your answer in terms of Re and h.
(d) Starting with Newton's second law, determine an equation for each of the following quantities. Give your answers in terms of Me, Re, h, and the universal gravitation constant G.
(i) the freefall acceleration of the satellite,
(ii) The orbital speed of the satellite,
(iii) the period of orbit, which is the time it takes the satellite to complete one orbit around Earth.
(e) Determine the work done by gravity as the satellite moves through one-half of its circular orbit.
(f) Consider a near-Earth orbiting satellite (h=0.10Re) that is inhabited by astronauts.
(i) Determine the ration of the freefall acceleration of an astronaut in this circular orbit to the freefall acceleration of an astronaut on Earth.
(ii) If that astronaut weights 150 pounds on Earth, how large is the force of gravity on her in orbit? Is she "weightless"?
