Consider a spacecraft that is far away from planets or other massive objects. The mass of the spacecraft is M = 1.5×105 kg. The rocket engines are shut off and the spacecraft coasts with a velocity vector v = (0, 20, 0) km/s. The space craft passes the position x = (12, 15, 0) km at which time the spacecraft fires its thruster rockets giving it a net force of F = (6 × 104 , 0, 0) N which is exerted for 3.4 s. The ejected gases have total mass that is small compared to the mass of the spacecraft. a) Where is the space craft 1 hour afterwards? b) What approximations have you made in your analysis?

Kepler’s second law is this statement: A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. We are going to prove this statement. Consider the wedge in the figure with area dA = 1 2 R 2 dθ The rate that area is swept per unit time is dA dt = 1 2 R 2 dθ dt = 1 2 R 2 ˙θ and this is true even if radius R is varying. We take the origin to be the center of the Sun and radius R is the distance between planet and Sun. The angle θ gives the position of the planet in the ecliptic plane. Kepler’s second law is equivalent to dA dt = constant or d 2A dt = 0. In class we showed that acceleration in polar coordinates can be written a = (R¨ − R ˙θ 2 )ˆr + (2R˙ ˙θ + R¨θ)θˆ Because the gravitational force is in the radial direction, the tangential component of acceleration is zero. This means that 2R˙ ˙θ + R¨θ = 0 Show that this relation is equivalent to dA/dt = constant and Kepler’s second law.

A spherical hollow is made in a sphere of radius R = 11.3 cm such that its surface touches the outside surface of the sphere and passes through its center (see Figure). The mass of the sphere before hollowing was M = 57.0 kg. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the hollowed-out lead sphere and a small sphere of mass m = 4.2 kg, located a distance d = 0.55 m from the center of the lead sphere?

URGENT! Identify each of the true statements about what happens when you eat a slice of 100% whole wheat bread made with whole wheat, water, honey, and salt:

1) the starches are NOT enzymatically digested until they reach the duodenum; that is, no starch digestion occurs in the mouth or stomach
2) analyses hydrolyze the starches in maltose
3) the pancreas is one place that produces the enzymes that will digest the starch
4) the disaccharides from the bread and from starch digestion will be hydrolyzed at the brush border (micrvilli) of the small intestine
5) bacteria will “eat” the fiber from the wheat germ that passed undigested into the large intestine
6) pancreatic lipase will digest the sodium chloride from the salt
7) enzymatic digestion of the disaccharides will produce single amino acids, which will be absorbed through tunnels in cells and be transported to blood capillaries
8) cells will take in disaccharides and package then into a chylomicron which will be transported to a lacteal
9) glucose will be absorbed through channels in cells lining the small intestine and be transported to blood capillaries
10) you will get about 4 kcalories from each gram of starch and sugar from the bread, but almost no kcalories from the fiber
