The mass of the Sun M = 2.0×1030 kg, and G = 6.67×10-11 Nm2 /kg2 a). A spaceship of mass m = 7.5×104 kg is on a circular orbit of radius r1 = 2.5×1011 m around the Sun. The captain of that spaceship decides to increase the radius of his orbit to r2 = 4.0×1011 m. What is the minimum amount of energy he has to expand using his engines to move to this higher orbit? [Assume that the ship...

Design a "bungee jump" apparatus for adults. A bungee jumper falls from a high platform with two elastic cords tied to the ankles. The jumper falls freely for a while, with the cords slack. Then the jumper falls an additional distance with the cords increasingly tense. Assume that you have cords that are 12 m long, and that the cords stretch in the jump an additional 19 m for a jumper whose mass is 120 kg, the heaviest adult you...
