A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 1.74 104 m/s. What will its speed be when it is very far from the Earth? Ignore atmospheric friction and the rotation of the Earth.

From Webassign Assignment #12:Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve in a circular orbit about a center of mass midway between them. This statement implies that the masses of the two stars are equal (see figure below). Assume the orbital speed of each star is v = 190 km/s and the orbital period of each is 10.7 days. Find the mass M of each star. (For comparison, the mass of our Sun is 1.99 1030 kg.)

iclicker question:The fact that we found F1<0 means:
A. We set up the problem incorrectlyB. The analysis is correct, but the
direction of F1 is opposite to the arrowC. Physics makes no sense
iclicker question:What would happen if we analyzed this problem by placing the pivot point at F1 ?:
A. The answer would be the same.B. The answer would be different.C. Physics makes no sense
