One way to attack a satellite in earth orbit is to launch a swarm of pellets in the same orbit as the satellite but in the opposite direction. suppose a satellite in a circular orbit 810 km above earth's surface collides with a pellet having mass 3.7 g. (a) what is the kinetic energy of the pellet in the reference frame of the satellite just before the collision? (b) what is the ratio of this kinetic energy to the kinetic energy of a 3.7 g bullet from a modern army rifle with a muzzle speed of 1200 m/s?

An charge with mass m and charge q is emitted from the origin, (x, y)=(0,0). a large, flat screen is located at x=l. there is a target on the screen at y position y(h), where y(h) > 0. in this problem, you will examine two different ways that the charge might hit the target. ignore gravity in this problem. 1.assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive x direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive y direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l. 2.now assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive y direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive x direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l.

Consider motion in one dimension. (the sign of the vector quantities is their direction indicator.) an object moves in the positive x-direction with speed 2.9 m/s for 4.5 s. it stops for 3.8 s and then moves in the negative x direction with speed 2.8 m/s for 4 s. what is the total distance traveled by the object in units of meter? enter a number with two digits behind the decimal point.
