Answer the following: a) The casing of a rocket in flight burns up due to friction. At whose expense is the heat required for burning obtained? The rocket or the atmosphere? b) Comets move around the sun in highly elliptical orbits. The gravitational force on the comet due to the sun is not normal to the comet's velocity in general. Yet the work done by the gravitatonal force over every complete orbit of the comet is zero. Why? c) An artificial satellite orbiting the earth in very atmosphere loses its energy grdually due to dissipation against atmospheric resistance, howerver small. Why then does its speed increase progressively as it comes closer and closer tothe earth? d)In fig i) the man walks 2m carrying a mass of 15 kg on his hands. In Fig ii) he walks the same distance pulling the rope behind him. The rope goes over pulley, and a mass of 15 kg hangs at its other end. In which case is the work done greater?

Assume that the earth is not rotating about its axis and that Scientists have developed an engine which can propel vehicles to very high speed on the surface of the earth. What is the maximum possible speed for any such vehicle running on surface of the earth. Earth is a sphere of radius R = 6400 km and acceleration due to gravity on the surface is g=10m//s^(2)
