1. What is the linear momentum of a 27,500 kg spacecraft moving at 28,000 km per hour? 
p ⃑=mV ⃑( p=mV ) 
28,000 km per hour = 7777.7778 m/s 
p ⃑=(27,500kg)(7777.7778m/s) 
p ⃑=213,888,889.5 kg·m/s 
2. A 125 g rock is wedged in a tire that has a diameter of 0.70 meters. The moment of inertia...

A satellite is launched into a low-Earth (parking) orbit with an altitude of 222 km and need to 
be moved into a geosynchronous orbit with an altitude of 38,622 km. Based on this 
information, perform the following 12 calculations: 
222 km + 6378 km = 6600 km 
38622 km + 6378 km = 45000 km
