Gravitational assists are a way to increase the velocity of a probe or spaceship. These gravitational assists are extremely well monitored, especially when they happen around Earth, so it has been surprising that some
(but not all) flybys have had an extra boost in velocity of a few millimeters per second. Devise an experiment
to investigate this anomaly. Describe your setup and the data you would need to collect.

i had this question and the answer was 3.15 miles.

martina travels from school to her mom's office. from there, she walks to school. after school, she walks to the library and then to a friends house before finally ending back at home. find martina's total distance traveled.

a) 0 miles  

b) 0.4 miles  

c) 1 mile  

d) 3.15 miles

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft

answer(20) psi;
