In our discussions of orbits, we assumed that a very massive planet was stationary at the origin, and that a satellite moved around it. In reality both objects move around each other, although the massive planet makes a very small motion. Now consider two equal mass asteroids, each with mass 1.3×109 kg, orbiting each other in perfect circles. If the diameter of the circle is 4 km, what is the speed of the asteroids relative to the stationary center of mass?

(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

The two ends of a length of chain are attached so that the chain makes a circle. If the chain is then spun very quickly, it can roll along the ground like a bicycle tire without crumpling. Consider the rolling chain shown in the figure. Assume the chain has uniform linear mass density μ and its center of mass moves to the right at a speed v0. (a) Determine the tension in the chain in terms of μ and v0. Assume the weight of an individual link is negligible compared to the tension. T = (b) If the loop rolls over a small bump, the resulting deformation of the chain causes two transverse pulses to propagate along the chain, one moving clockwise and one moving counterclockwise. What is the speed of the pulses traveling along the chain? (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.) v = (c) Through what angle (in rad) does each pulse travel during the time interval over which the loop makes one revolution? (Assume the angle is measured clockwise from the ground. ) clockwise-traveling pulse rad counterclockwise-traveling pulse rad

A student proposes a hybrid chip where the CMOS inverter above is used for both digital logic and analog amplification. Consider the following CMOS inverter. The transistor parameters are as follows: K_n=K_p=0.2 mA/V^2, V_Tp=-0.4 V V_Tn=0.4 V. The corresponding input-output characteristic is of the following form: In these questions we consider the same CMOS inverter of the pri0r part, but now we assume realistic value for lambda_n and lambda_p as follows: lambda_n = 02 V-1 and lambda p = 0.02 V-1. Assume that all the other transistor parameters remain the same. In this scenario the input-output characteristic curve looks like this A student proposes a hybrid chip where the CMOS inverter above is used for both digital logic and analog amplification. In the amplifier function, let's assume that the input voltage is the sum of a DC bias equal to 1.25 V and a very small signal (Vsmall (t)) as shown in the figure. In this scenario, what is the expected small-signal voltage gain (amplification factor) (under no load or open circuit at the output node)?
