Question:
space station is orbiting the Earth. It moves in a circular orbit with a radius equal to twice the Earth’s radius. A supply satellite is designed to travel to the station and dock smoothly when it arrives. If the supply satellite is fired as a simple projectile from the Earth’s surface, what is the minimum initial speed required for it to reach the space station and have a speed equal to the station’s speed when it arrives? Ignore both air drag and the rotational motion of the Earth.

In this experiment, we will discuss Newton\'s second law of motion. In this experiment, we use a bucket that is filled with water and attach it to a rope that passes from the pulley. A person is pulling the rope down to lift the bucket filled with water. The question is how much time does a bucket take to fall on the ground when we leave the rope? A 2.0 kg bucket is attached to a massless string that is wrapped around a 1.0 kg, 4.0 cm diameter cylinder. The cylinder rotates on an axle through the center. The bucket is released from rest 1.0 m above the floor. How long does it take to reach the floor?
