A space probe is about to launch with the objective to explore the planets Mars and Jupiter. To use the lowest amount of energy, the rocket starts from the Earth’s orbit (A) and flies in an elliptical orbit to Mars (B), such that the ellipse has its perihelion at Earth’s orbit and its aphelion at
Mars’ orbit. The space probe explores Mars for some time until Mars has completed 1/4 of its orbit
(C). Aer that, the space probe uses the same ellipse to get from Mars (C) to Jupiter (D). There the
mission is completed, and the space probe will stay around Jupiter.
The drawing below shows the trajectory of the space probe (not drawn to scale):

D C
Below you find the obrital period and the semi-major axis of the three planets:
Orbital period Semi-major axis
Earth 365 days 1.00 AU
Mars 687 days 1.52 AU
Jupiter 4333 days 5.20 AU
How many years aer its launch from the Earth (A) will the space probe arrive at Jupiter (D)

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)

Asilver dollar is dropped from the top of a building that is 1324 feet tall. use the position function below for free-falling objects. s(t) = −16t2 + v0t + s0 (a) determine the position and velocity functions for the coin. s(t) = v(t) = (b) determine the average velocity on the interval [1, 2]. ft/s (c) find the instantaneous velocities when t = 1 second and t = 2 seconds. v(1) = ft/s v(2) = ft/s (d) find the time required for the coin to reach the ground level. (round your answer to three decimal places.) t = s (e) find the velocity of the coin at impact. (round your answer to three decimal places.) ft/s
