(a) Imagine that a space probe could be fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 5.28×104 m/s relative to the Sun. What would its speed be when it is very far from the Earth (in m/s )? Ignore atmospheric friction, the effects of other planets, and the rotation of the Earth. (Consider the mass of the Sun in your calculations.) m/s (b) What If? The speed provided in part (a) is very difficult to achieve technologically. Often, Jupiter is used as a "gravitational slingshot" to increase the speed of a probe to the escape speed from the solar system, which is 1.85×104 m/s from a point on Jupiter's orbit around the Sun (if Jupiter is not nearby). If the probe is launched from the Earth's surface at a speed of 4.10×104 m/s relative to the Sun, what is the increase in speed needed from the gravitational slingshot at Jupiter for the space probe to escape the solar system (in m/s )? (Assume that the Earth and the point on Jupiter's orbit lie along the same radial line from the Sun.) m/s

While driving behind a car traveling at 3.45 m/s, you notice that one of the car's tires has a small hemispherical bump on its rim as shown in the following figure. (a) Explain why the bump, from your viewpoint behind the car, executes simple harmonic motion. This answer has not been graded yet. (b) If the radii of the car's tires are 0.380 m, what is the bump's period of oscillation (in s)? s (c) What If? You hang a spring with spring constant k = 100 N/m from the rear view mirror of your car. What is the mass (in kg ) that needs to be hung from this spring to produce simple harmonic motion with the same period as the bump on the tire? kg (d) What would be the maximum speed of the hanging mass in your car (in m/s) if you initially pulled the mass down 8.00 cm beyond equilibrium before releasing it? (Enter the vertical component of the speed only.) m/s

A hoop of mass M = 4 kg and radius R = 0.4 m rolls without slipping down a hill, as shown in the figure. The lack of slipping means that when the center of mass of the hoop has speed v, the tangential speed of the hoop relative to the center of mass is also equal to vCM, since in that case the instantaneous speed is zero for the part of the hoop that is in contact with the ground (v − v = 0). Therefore, the angular speed of the rotating hoop is ω = vCM/R. (a) The initial speed of the hoop is vi = 2 m/s, and the hill has a height h = 4.0 m. What is the speed vf at the bottom of the hill? vf = m/s (b) Replace the hoop with a bicycle wheel whose rim has mass M = 4 kg and radius R = 0.4 m, and whose hub has mass m = 1.8 kg, as shown in the figure. The spokes have negligible mass. What would the bicycle wheel's speed be at the bottom of the hill? (Assume that the wheel has the same initial speed and start at the same height as the hoop in part (a)). vf = m/s
