Han Solo and Chewie fly the Millenium Falcon (mass of 100,000 kg) into an orbit around a 1 million solar mass black hole at a periastron (closest distance) distance of 20 Schwarzschild radii (i.e., 20xRS). They have an apastron distance of 25xRS.

What is the Millenium Falcon’s velocity at periastron? Use the conservation of energy to solve it. Ea=Ep

A satellite of mass 1525 kg is in circular orbit around Earth. The radius of the orbit of the satellite is equal to 1.5 times the radius of Earth (RE = 6.378*106 m, ME = 5.98*1024 kg, G = 6.67*10-11 Nm2/kg2). (a) Find the orbital period of the satellite? (b) Find the orbital (tangential) velocity of the satellite.  (c) Find the total energy of the satellite?

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...
