A 10,000 kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit 400 km above the surface of the Earth. It fires its rockets and quickly doubles its kinetic energy, putting it into an elliptical orbit. What is the semimajor axis (km) of the orbit? The radius of the Earth is 6.37×106 m and its mass is 5.98×1024 kg. 3200 infinity 1.60×103 9.57×103 1600 6.94×103 800 566 7.97×103 7.17×103

A 2.600-kg model rocket is launched vertically and reaches an altitude of 70 m with a speed of 30 m/s at the end of powered flight, time t = 0. As the rocket approaches its maximum altitude it explodes into two parts of masses mA = 0.910 kg and mB = 1.690 kg. Part A is observed to strike the ground 80 m west of the launch point at t = 6 s. Determine the position of part B at that time. The position of part B is m (east) and m (up).
