This applet shows satellites orbiting a central body from various starting distances. the mass of the central body is much greater than the masses of the satellites. you should think of this applet as data obtained in an experiment (e. g., a set of videos made by compiling data of observations of satellites).

find the length of the major axis of the orbit of the purple satellite "ap" with initial speed 2.0 and the length of the major axis of the orbit of the red satellite "ar" with initial speed 1.5. recall that the semi-major axis of an ellipse is usually denoted ; hence we use the notation for the major axis of the purple satellite's orbit.

in the question, it gives as an app which shows these orbits. we first calculated the periods for both.

red: period = 10.7 starting radius = 2

purple: period = 3.16 starting radius = 1

which of the following techniques could be used to determine the mass "mc " of the central object, using only information available in the applet?

Refrigerant-134a flows through a carnot heat pump cycle at 0.5 kg/s. it is known that the maximum absolute temperature in the cycle is 1.1 times the minimum absolute temperature, and the net power input to the cycle is 2.5 kw. if the refrigerant changes from a saturated vapor to a saturated liquid during the heat rejection process, determine the maximum magnitude of the enthalpy of vaporization for this process in kj/kg (with 3 significant figures).
