A projectile is launched straight upward from Earth's surface at the North Pole. For Earth's radius at the North Pole, use
RE, NP = 6.36 ✕ 106 m.
(a) Ignoring air resistance, find the maximum altitude of the projectile above Earth's surface if the launch speed is
2.31 ✕ 103 m/s. m

A satellite is in a circular low Earth orbit at an altitude of
352 km
above the equator's surface. For Earth's radius at the equator, use
RE, eq = 6.38 ✕ 106 m.
(b) Assuming only the force of Earth's gravity acts on the satellite, determine the smallest required change in the satellite's speed if it is to escape Earth's gravity and never return. m/s

a) Maximum altitude of the projectile, h = 2.83 * 10^5 m

b) v = 10885.7 m/s

Explanation:

a) Mass of the earth, $m_{1} = 5.98 * 10^{24} kg$

Mass of the projectile = $m_{2}$

Launch speed, v = 2.31 * 10³ m/s

Earth radius, r = 6.36 ✕ 10⁶ m

Workdone by the projectile against gravity

$W = Gm_{1} m_{2} (\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{r+h} )\\W = 5.98 * 10^{24} *6.67 * 10^{-11} m_{2} (\frac{1}{6.36*10^{6} } - \frac{1}{r+h} )\\$

$W = 398866 * 10^{9} m_{2}(\frac{1}{6.36*10^{6} } - \frac{1}{r+h} )$ ...............(1)

Kinetic energy of the projectile:

$KE = \frac{1}{2} m_{2} v^{2}$

$KE =2668050 m_{2}$ ...................(2)

Equating (1) and (2) based on the law of energy conservation

$398866 * 10^{9} m_{2}(\frac{1}{6.36*10^{6} } - \frac{1}{r+h} ) = 2668050 m_{2}\\\frac{1}{6.36*10^{6} } - \frac{1}{r+h} = 0.00000000669\\0.00000015723 - 0.00000000669 = \frac{1}{r+h}\\0.00000015054 = \frac{1}{(6.36*10^{6}) +h}\\(6.36*10^{6}) +h = 6642633.424\\h = 6642633.424 - (6.36*10^{6})\\h = 282633.42 m\\h = 2.83 * 10^5 m$

b) Smallest required change in the satellite speed

Altitude, h = 352 km = 352000 m

Earth radius, r = 6.38 * 10⁶ m

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm_{1} }{(r+h)} } \\v = \sqrt{\frac{2* 6.67 * 10^{-11} *5.98*10^{24} }{(6.38*10^6+352*10^3)} }$

v = 10885.7 m/s

Answer from: Quest

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
