Problem  p o ints

Imagine a spherical nonrotating planet of mass M and radius R  The planet has no atmosphere A spacecraft of mass m m � M  is launched from the surface of the planet with sp eed v 0 at an angle of � to the lo cal vertical The ro cket burn is very short Thus you may assume that when the spacecraft has a sp eed v 0 it has not yet moved any appreciable distance a  The sp eed v 0 is so high that the orbit is not b ound What is the minimum sp eed for which this is the case Now imagine that the orbit is b ound and that in its subsequent orbit the spacecraft reaches a maximum distance of R from the center of the planet At this distance the sp eed is V  b  What is the ratio of v 0 V  c  What is the total energy of the spacecraft immediately after launch d   What is the total energy of the spacecraft when it is farthest away from the planet e   Write down one equation which would allow you to solve for v 0 in terms of M G and R we are not asking you to solve this equation
