(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

A satellite is in a circular orbit around an unknown planet. The satellite has a speed of 1.06×104 m/s, and the radius of the orbit is 1.77 ×106 m. A second satellite also has a circular orbit around this same planet. The orbit of this second satellite has a radius of 9.06×106 m. What is the orbital speed of the second satellite? Number Units
